Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 NASCAR June 10, 2020
Kyle Busch
- NASCAR predictions: +750
The Joe Gibbs Racing driver is used to having the reflectors on him, being one of the best drivers in the world. Kyle Busch already knows what it is to be successful at Martinsville, winning twice previously, the last time being, however, in the long-ago 2016. However, Busch has had no victories this season and is ninth in the drivers table. . Glory has been denied him as he has six innings in the top 5 races and looks to Martinsville for his first win of the season.
Martin Truex Jr.
- Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 Predictions: +550
Martin Truex Jr. won last fall at Martinsville, so he knows what it’s like to taste glory on the circuit despite not having done it this season yet. He is currently fifth in the table, but with only a top five so far, Truex is looking to start doing damage at the top of the rankings.
Brad Keselowski
- NASCAR predictions: +600
Brad Keselowski has started off phenomenally this season, winning two of the last four races, with four top 5s so far. But Keselowski does not stop there, he has also won two of the last six races at Martinsville, making him someone very careful and one of the clear favorites for this edition of the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500. Keselowski is fourth in the table.
Chase Elliott
- Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 Predictions: +750
Chase Elliott is third in the ratings with his Chevrolet. Elliott has a victory and four positions in the top five so far this season. However, Elliott’s recent record in Martinsville is not one to fill gamblers with hope. The previous year was pretty disappointing, starting the race in second place, and falling precipitously to 36 when he passed the checkered flag.
Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano
- NASCAR predictions: +900
Both Denny Hamlin and his Toyota as Joey Logano and his Ford have the same odds of victory according to the bookies. However, their seasons have been quite different. Both have two victories in the current campaign and although Hamlin accompanies those two victories with more completions within the first five (5), it falls to sixth place in the table. Hamlin won the 2015 edition of this race.
On the other hand, Logano is second with two victories and two top 5 so far. A Logano victory can catapult him to first place in the drivers’ table, so motivation is at its highest.
NASCAR Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 Predictions
This race has many stories to play out, plus they all have strong implications for the NASCAR Cup Series rankings. However, there are two major factors to consider.
The season is still young and several drivers still cannot find their rhythm, while others, on the contrary, have started phenomenally and, by the way, they know what it is to win on this Martinsville trajectory.
Kyle Busch is always going to be a “safe bet” due to his experience and talent behind the wheel, in addition to the fact that he is fighting at the top of the table without having won, that motivation, along with the knowledge that with a victory he can rise in the rankings makes it an attractive bet.
However, the recommended bet is Brad Keselowski, who has been intractable this year and knows this circuit very well, where he has been a heavyweight in recent editions. Keselowski has the fortune, talent and momentum to shine in this edition.
