LOUDON, NH (TheSpread) – The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is at New Hampshire Motor Speedway today for the Sylvania 300. Here is a look at the drivers to bet on.
According to oddsmakers at Bovada.lv, Brad Keselowski is the clear favorite with 5/2 odds while Kevin Harvick has 5/1 odds and Jeff Gordon and Kyle Busch each come in at 6/1.
It’s hard to be against Brad right now. He is coming off a win last week, has the lead in the point standings and won the pole position for today’s race. He has already won at New Hampshire in the past and seems like the guy to put your money on to win the Sprint Cup title this year. Look for another winning performance today.
After a strong 2014 season, Gordon is looking to get back control of his points lead and this could be a good track for him to do it at. He is a three-time winner at New Hampshire with a driver rating of 107.7, which is the second best of any driver competing today. Look for Gordon to have a strong run this afternoon.
Biffle needs a strong showing, or even a win, today to avoid being cut following next week’s race. Currently sitting 15th in the standings, Biffle has to pack on some points today or face a serious elimination threat next week. Biffle does own a win at this track and also has six top 5s. With the long odds but desperate situation, we like gambling on the No. 16 today.
