Brandon’s Best Bets: NASCAR’s Dixie Vodka 400
This week we head to the first mile and a half track of the season down in Homestead, Miami. We are two weeks into the NASCAR Cup Series and there have already been two first time winners.
This week we head to the first mile and a half track of the season down in Homestead, Miami. We are two weeks into the NASCAR Cup Series and there have already been two first time winners.
This is the start of new series on NASCAR gambling. Each week, I will discuss my favorite bets for each week throughout the NASCAR Cup Series season. To kick the season off, the drivers head down to Daytona for the Great American Race.
The Silly Season had a handful of important driver shuffles, the most notable being the signing of Kyle Larson to Hendricks Motorsports. We’d also get the announcement of a brand-new team partnership between former NBA Player Michael Jordan and NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin.
Kevin Harvick appeared to be sitting pretty Sunday at Kansas, having led 85 of the 219 laps run. However, a pit stop with 48 laps remaining would wind up costing him in the end. After beating Harvick out of the pit stalls, Joey Logano would manage to get the jump he needed on the final restart.
Today, the NASCAR cup series will be racing at the Roval in Charlotte, N.C. The Roval is a 2.28-mile track that is a half road and half speedway course. This track is in its third year of being on the NASCAR cup series schedule. It has also been scheduled every year as a cut-off race in the second round of the playoffs which makes it a very important race.
It’s time to put that wild finish at Talladega behind us and head out to Charlotte, NC, to finish out the round of 16. Charlotte Roval is still a relative new event on the Cup Series schedule, having moved on from the 500 mile regular oval. It’s expected that there will be a capacity crowd showing up for this event due to a state-mandated requirement.
The last race of the regular season would prove to be the dog fight we expected, with the final three playoff spots being filled. Clint Bowyer, William Byron, and Matt DiBenedetto would all skate through, as both Jimmie Johnson and Erik Jones would be caught up in separate multi-car wrecks.
The tug-of-war between drivers Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin did not let up over the two race double-header this past weekend at Dover. It was Hamlin that struck first blood on Saturday, working himself around race leader Martin Truex Jr. with eight laps left remaining. Hamlin put himself into a jam after a bad restart on lap 193 but would systematically pass through the cars in front.
Needing to get one of the last two spots, Denny Hamlin would put on a very decisive performance in Phoenix. Earning himself the victory along with a seat at the final four table in Homestead. Hamlin had one of the quickest cars all day, topping most laps led with 143.
It was a very convincing showing for Martin Truex Jr, taking over the lead from Denny Hamlin during the first wave of pit stops and not relinquishing it from there on out. In dominating fashion, Truex would lead 464 of the race’s 500 laps, if there was one driver that had at least a little something for the nineteen it would be William Byron.
Ryan Blaney would need every bit of that front bumper, in beating out fellow Ford driver Ryan Newman by 0.007 seconds in the sixth closest finish in Monster Energy history. Blaney would lead the front of the pack with a two-lap restart, and with drafting support from Aric Almirola it was enough to get him that gap he needed on the field.
