For auto racing enthusiasts, sports betting on the internet is simple. Motor sports betting is available for NASCAR as well as Formula 1and INDY Car. In addition to betting on actual races, you can bet on different championship series within the particular racing circuits.

NASCAR Motor Sports Betting
As part of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, the upcoming Pep Boys 500 is set to take place at the Atlanta Motor Speedway on September 6, though this start date is subject to weather. Many motor sports betting websites will even allow you to bet on whether this race starts and finishes on the date it is scheduled.
In addition to betting for or against the weather holding, you can bet on who will win the Pep Boys 500 through your favorite motor sports betting website. Some of the favorites going into this race are Jimmy Johnson at 5 to 1, as well as Carl Edwards, Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin, and Kyle Busch – all at 7 to 1. Additionally, getting single digit odds is Tony Stewart getting 8 to 1 to win the Pep Boys 500.
Should you not wish to bet on the actual winner of the Pep Boys 500, you can bet on your favorite racer to finish in the top three, as most motor sports betting sites allow you the option to place such a bet. While a racer such as Brian Vickers is 14 to 1 to win, he pay 4 to 1 to finish in the top three of the Pep Boys 500. Such bets are more conservative in nature and pay out less than betting on a racer to win.
In addition to betting on a single race, nascar bettors can bet on who will win the Chase for the Sprint Cup. The points leader, Tony Stewart pays 2 to 1 to win the chase. He is currently the Sprint Cup Chase points leader. Getting 2 to 1 on someone who is already off to a head start is a great bet. It should be noted though that the chase points are reset in a few weeks, but Stewart has shown he has what it takes this season. Other chase contenders are Jeff Gordon and Mark Martin, getting 5 and 6 to one odds respectively.
