How to Bet on NASCAR Cup Series Races in 2026
With a calendar that spans across the entirety of the United States, including a bonus race in Mexico, it is no surprise that popularity levels when it comes to betting on the NASCAR Cup Series are soaring.
You can explore some of the available betting markets when wagering on the NASCAR Cup Series below.
Outright Race Winner
Wagers can be placed on the driver who will win a race throughout the season.
Individual race markets open around four days before the event on a Sunday, and prices will change following qualifying. Therefore, bettors need to pinpoint the perfect time to get the best odds for their selection.
Head-to-Head Betting
Bettors can opt to wager on the head-to-head markets available. Here, the sportsbook will pit two drivers against each other, and a bet can be placed on the driver that you believe will finish highest in the final placings.
Place Betting
Due to the vast field sizes in every NASCAR race, an interesting alternative could come in the form of place betting.
Here, a bet can be placed on a driver to finish in the top three, five, or ten. The odds are decreased, but the market gives a bettor an increased chance of winning returns.
