Kyle Busch is on a great run at this time and any odds post has to start with him.
And coming into a week with two consecutive wins and a race at a track where he has three career victories, Busch is the man to beat once again. He’s the favorite heading into the STP 500 at Martinsville Speedway, the shortest track in NASCAR.
This week has a couple of intriguing storylines as Joey Logano and Martin Truex Jr. butted heads, and automobiles, at last season’s playoff race at Martinsville while Logano came away with the win.
Logano has seven top-10 finishes in his last 10 races at Martinsville including that triumph last year while Truex is no slouch himself with six top-seven finishes in his past seven attempts in the half-mile track. These guys will fight it out again for the win, but they’ll probably be fighting Busch for the victory.
Now it would be foolish to pick anyone but Busch to win and that is what we’re doing. He is outdriving everybody in NASCAR at the present time and has the auto. He’s got a fantastic opportunity this week to pass Richard Petty with his 201st career win in NASCAR’s top three series.
The STP 500 can be viewed Sunday at 2 p.m. ET on FS1.
