Sportsbooks Step On The Gas With Weekend Of NASCAR, IndyCar Odds

1 IndyCar and 3 NASCAR Race Logos

If there is a legal sports betting drought due to the COVID-19 pandemic, someone forgot to give professional auto racing the memo.

NASCAR and IndyCar are filling up this weekend’s gas tank with four races that are sure to entice eager sports bettors that are anxious for pro sports to return.

NASCAR is hosting three races this weekend at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. The Camping World Truck Series and Xfinity Series will hold races on Saturday, with the main event Cup Series QuikTrip 500 race occurring on Sunday.

IndyCar is also hosting the Genesys 300 at the Texas Motor Speedway, rounding out a weekend full of car racing betting options.

NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Vet Tix 200

  • Saturday @ 1 PM EST on FS1

Kyle Busch is a busy man, as he competes in NASCAR’s Truck Series as well as the NASCAR Cup Series, oftentimes racing on both Saturday and Sunday. Busch is dominant in the Truck Series, winning an all-time high 57 races over the course of his career.

This dominance is reflected in the odds for NASCAR betting, as he is the only driver in any of this weekend’s races to feature odds in the negative on an overall winner betting line (which is uncommon for any such racing bet, to say the least). Kyle has won all three of NASCAR’s series events at Atlanta Motor Speedway in the past, and it would be a minor upset if he is not the first to cross the finish line after the checkered flag on Saturday.

NASCAR and IndyCar odds are provided by Bovada Sportsbook.

NASCAR Xfinity Series EchoPark 250

  • Saturday @ 4:30 PM EST on FOX

Next up is NASCAR’s Xfinity Series, which serves as the junior varsity level of stock car racing. Despite it being the equivalent of NASCAR’s minor league, top-level racers often drop down to enter the fray.

All betting odds for EchoPark 250 Xfinity Series stock car drivers are in the positive, meaning that regardless of which racer you pick, you will multiply the amount risked significantly if you can accurately select the winner. A wager on all remaining unlisted racers has odds of +2800, meaning a wager of $100 will earn a payout of $2800 if any racer not listed wins.
