Loudon Clear: NASCAR Weekend Motor Racing Betting Picks

The town of Loudon, New Hampshire will host two of three NASCAR motor racing betting events this weekend; the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series ISM Connect 300 and the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series UNOH 175 (the third event being the NASCAR Xfinity Series VisitMyrtleBeach.com 300 to be held for the last time at Kentucky Speedway in Sparta, Kentucky). Plenty of action for fans who like racing sports betting.

On Sunday, in the final stage of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs Round of 16, aka Tales of the Turtles 400, Jamie McMurray and Erik Jones spun allowing Martin Truex Jr. to get out front and pull away from Chase Elliott for his fifth win of the season as well as a ticket to the Round of 12, and a bucketful of slime.

Truex has never won a race in New Hampshire but has finished inside the top 10 in three of the last four editions of the ISM Connect 300, including the last two straight.

Kyle Busch has, in previous years, come pretty close to winning this race, placing 4^th in 2007, 5^th in 2009, 2^nd in 2013, and 3^rd in 2016.

Christopher Bell, the current Driver standings leader, is also the motor racing betting pick to win the first race of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Playoffs. Bell finished, just a couple of weeks ago, out of the top 10 for only the second time this season, at the Chevrolet Silverado 250, but bounced back with a 3^rd place finished in TheHouse.com 225 on Friday. Bell was the runner-up in the 2016 UNOH 175.

Johnny Sauter finished 10^th in last year’s edition of the race but is hot off a win at TheHouse.com 225, which was in turn preceded by two straight top 10 finishes.

William Byron came in 33^rd place at the TheHouse.com 300 but held on to the top of the Drivers’ Championship, two points ahead of Justin Allgaier.

Ryan Preece won the US Cellular 250 on July 29^th and, a fortnight prior to that, was the runner-up in the Overton’s 200. Thus, even though he placed 30^th at the 2016 VisitMyrtleBeach.com 300, he has been in motor racing betting contention in his rare appearances this season.
