How to Bet on NASCAR

The most popular way to bet on NASCAR is to simply pick the winner of a race, also known as an outright winner. There are many other ways to bet, including betting on whether or not a driver will finish in the Top 3 or Top 10 of a race.

Another popular betting option is head-to-head betting, in which sportsbooks pair two drivers and you choose who you think will finish better in the race, which is much easier than trying to select someone who will win from a field of around 40 drivers.
