• Kyle Busch has the shortest odds to win the Blue-emu Max Pain Relief 500 at +450.

RIDGEWAY, Va. — The NASCAR Cup Series’ next race will be the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway with no fans in attendance due to the coronavirus pandemic.

This race has the potential to give bettors the chance to net some nice returns at legal sport betting sites on Wednesday when there will be a limited menu of major sports available to bet on.

Among the different ways to bet on NASCAR includes group betting on which driver will finish the highest out of four, selecting who will finish in the top three, and betting on head-to-head odds, pitting fan favorites against each other to see who will finish in the highest position.

The favorite to win the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 is Kyle Busch at +450 odds.

Busch currently sits at eight place in the NASCAR Cup Series standings and while not recording a win on the season, he has finished in the top five and top ten six times this year.

Keselowski has been one of the most consistent drivers in the Cup Series this season as he’s led the fourth most laps while capturing two checkered flags thus far.

Take the +550 odds on him to find the checkered flag as he’s won the race two out of the last three years and should be expected to be among the top of the leaderboard.

Betting on the drivers by a group is one way to increase the chances of winning at legal sportsbooks.

Place the odds on a driver and if that driver places the highest out of the group you win the bet. Out of this group’s betting odds, take the +260 odds on Jimmy Johnson in this set.

If looking to place more bets like this, there are many other groups available for NASCAR betting.

Betting on a driver to finish in the top 3 is another way to increase the odds of winning a NASCAR bet.

Top 3 odds can vary and the complete odds board can be found sites like BetOnline; but for this prop, bettors should feel comfortable taking the +150 odds on Martin Truex Jr. to finish somewhere in the top 3 at Martinsville.

Head to head betting props are one of the more creative ways to bet on NASCAR and betting on the Harvick vs. Busch prop for this race should be considered by all bettors.

Harvick has led the most laps in the Cup Series this season while also recording the second-most wins.

Harvick has been a better driver than Kyle Busch this season, evident from him being atop the Cup Series standings.

Take the +140 odds on Harvick to finish higher than Busch despite the fact that Busch is favored to win the Blue-Emu Max Pain Relief 500.

The race at Martinsville will commence at 7 p.m. ET and will be broadcasted by FS1.
