The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series is at Martinsville Speedway this weekend, and with Kyle Busch winning at Phoenix and Fontana within the previous two weeks, he’s been set up as a heavy favorite for the STP 500 at”The Paperclip”–and for good reason: Rowdy has not finished outside of the top 5 in this track because the 2014 season, and he has led a joint 582 laps within the previous four (and 937 over the previous six). Obviously, when you have the favorite in +150 to win, that means there is some great value in gambling others in case that guy has problems throughout the race.
Last weekend in Car Club Speedway my favorite bets went 2-0, bringing my yearly record to 5-3. I’d Brad Keselowski to finish top 3, and his day went south , so that was screwed from the start.

Martin Truex, Jr.. Top 3 End (+200) — The races in Martinsville are generally predictable: we find the exact same faces up front again and again, and we don’t watch Martin Truex, Jr. in victory lane. Where we do find himthough, is close enough to acquire if something goes wrong with the chief. Over the previous three races in”The Paperclip,” Truex has posted finishes of 3rd, 4th, and 2nd, and even though he begins back into 8th for the STP 500, he has one hell of a race car underneath him to get to the front. The 19 Toyota rated #1 in 10-, 15-, 20-, and 30-lap average during the final practice session here on Saturday, and there’s going to be lots of long runs throughout the race. Truex will really shine during those. When you study this week’s rankings by the Fantasy Racing On line algorithm, Truex is a very close 4th behind Logano, and if you take a look at current trends by pole sitters from the spring Martinsville race, then I’d give that edge to Truex.
Chris Buescher (+105) over Daniel Hemric — I’m really surprised Chris Buescher is not becoming more love this weekend. This #37 team hasn’t finished worse than 18th since the Daytona 500, plus they’ve got a great starting spot for today’s STP 500 (12th). Meanwhile, the Hemric will begin from back in 28th, also has a tendency to hit the wall more frequently than not. We have got 500 laps to race in the present STP 500, and to be honest, I am not sure he ends. On the other hand, Buescher has finished 13th, 23rd, 21st, and 11th in his last four Martinsville starts, and he’s running better than he has probably ever ran. This is really a no brainer for me.
