NASCAR season is upon us, they’ve been making an active effort to incorporate gambling into the sport. Luckily for us, I’m from the NASCAR capital, have capped this sports for 5 years now and have been to hundreds of races in my life. With such a shift in the sport, not only with wagers but they have a new package ready to go for the 2019 season and we are ready to go and get some dough over the next 40 weeks, with that being said. The Clash which is NASCAR’s exhibition race that kicks off the 2019 Speedweeks takes place at 3PM today. This race is ran at Daytona International Speedway and betting on the Superspeedway tracks (Daytona & Talladega) require a different approach. The most interesting thing about plate racing is that literally anyone has a shot to win. With that being said, there are certain drivers that are really good at plate racing and some drivers struggle. In normal races I prefer to pick head to head matchups, and bet smaller on race winner; but with plate racing it is best to pick the race winner because you get a lot more value than a typical race. This race has no implications on the points for the season so everyone is trying to do one thing. Win!
The odds to win are listed below:
HARVICK 7/1
KESELOWSKI 7/1
LOGANO 7/1
ALMIROLA 10/1

JOHNSON 25/1
LARSON 30/1
MENARD 30/1

The best approach is to pick 2/3 of the favorites, 1/2 mid-pack drivers, and one long shot. I usually try to pick 4/5 drivers max. Depending on what your budget is for the race will determine the winnings. For me, I will work with a $200 budget.
Brad Keselowski +700 – $55 to win $385 ($240 net profit with win)
Joey Logano +700 – $55 to win $385 ($240 net profit with win)
Ryan Blaney +1200 – $35 to win $420 ($250 net profit with win)
Kyle Busch +1200 – $35 to win $420 ($250 net profit with win)
Kyle Larson +3000 – $20 to win $600 ($420 net profit with win)
