2019 STP 500 NASCAR 03/24/19 Odds, Preview and Predictions

The first of four scheduled Excursions to Virginia is on Sunday, March 24th with the 71st running of Their STP 500 at the Martinsville Speedway in Ridgeway, Virginia.

The Martinsville Speedway is the shortest track in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. The STP 500 is the first of two races with the second one being the First Data 500 at the NASCAR Playoffs.

Clint Bowyer won the race last year and this season, another affluent field is set to go into the race with various drivers that can really win the event. Let’s take a look at who the oddsmakers believe are going to function as drivers to observe this weekend.

“Racing” The Notifications
Kyle Busch is the favorite. After winning the Ticket Guardian 500 at Arizona last March 10th, Busch kept the pace with another success at the Car Club 400 in California. With back to back wins in the last two weekends, no wonder Kyle Busch deserves to be the +162 favorite here. Busch has finished no lower than 6th spot in six out of the last seven races overall and as soon as it comes to the STP 500, he won here in 2016, ended runner-up from the previous two years and has placed at 5th in each of his last seven appearances here at the Martinsville Speedway.

Martin Truex Jr. set 8th a week in the Auto Club Speedway. The 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Series Cup champion has five Top 10 finishes in seven races this season including three in the Top 5. Heading for this weekend, Trues has finished no worse than fourth in his last three races in the Martinsville Speedway.

2017 winner Brad Keselowski has put at least 6th in four out of his last six looks at the STP 500. Keselowski also loves racing at the Martinsville Speedway as he’s completed no lower than 5th in six from the last eight races .

Joey Logano finished next to Busch in California last weekend however while he came up short again, Logano has three Top 5 finishes already this year, including a win at the Pennzoil 400 last month at Las Vegas. It’s interesting that he’s won only once here in Martinsville Speedway however that success came in his final race here, the First Data 500 last October 2018.

Denny Hamlin has not picked up a victory since his victory at the Daytona 500 last year but he has definitely been consistent. Hamlin is a 6.8 ending in his first five races this year and is doing a fantastic job holding his own in the Drivers Championship. Hamlin has won thrice, the last being in 2015, with just Richard Petty, Darren Waltrip, and Rusty Wallace winning more than him. In addition, he holds two successes in the Martinsville Speedway while racing at the Camping Truck World Series.
