2025 NASCAR Cup Series Betting - NASCAR Xfinity Series

NASCAR Betting Online

Founded in 1948, the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) remains the most popular form of car racing in the United States. Over the past two decades, NASCAR saw a drop in its popularity, attendance, and TV ratings. But in 2024, the sport began to stabilize and reassert itself with consistent TV ratings that, while not up significantly, were still improved over the previous year. So, too, was the betting handle up from previous years, which portends a big year for 2025 and the potential for a sport to make more gains on the NBA and NHL, of which it has long been competitive.

2025 NASCAR Daytona 500 At a Glance

Date: Sunday, February 16, 2025

Racetrack: Daytona International Speedway, Daytona Beach, FL

Track Length: 2.5 miles

Total Laps: 200

TV: FOX

NASCAR's unusual characteristic is having its “Super Bowl” at the start of the season instead of the end. The Daytona 500 is known as the “Great American Race” and draws the biggest TV ratings and betting handle of the year for NASCAR.

In 2024, William Byron won the biggest prize in stock car racing, navigating the No. 24 car through a chaotic final stretch to take the checkered flag. With nine laps to go, Byron was involved in “The Big One.” Teammate Alex Bowman got into his rear, leading to a wiggle that pushed Byron into the right side of Brad Keselowski and forced him to spin. The resulting wreck caught up car after car in the crossfire, but when the dust settled, Byron escaped relatively unscathed.

After a red flag briefly brought the race to a halt, things restarted with eight laps to go, and Byron capitalized on his solid position. While a late wreck nearly pushed the race into overtime, Byron had already taken the white flag before the caution came out, sealing his first victory in the Daytona 500.

2025 NASCAR Daytona 500

The 67th running of the Daytona 500 is the first official race of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season. The Great American Race is the most anticipated and chaotic event in American motorsports. As we typically see when racing on a superspeedway odds are relatively long even for the favorites. Three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and 2015 Dayton 500 winner Joey Logano opened as the betting favorite with a number of drivers close behind. Starting at the pole last year Logano led the most laps before a late accident forced him and a number of other drivers out of the race. Kyle Busch and Ryan Blaney are next on the odds board.

In 2024, Joey Logano rose to the occasion. The driver of the No. 22 Team Penske Ford Mustang Dark Horse made the race-winning pass on fellow championship contender William Byron on the final restart of the race. Despite a late-race scare from his Team Penske teammate Ryan Blaney, Logano was able to hang on to score the race win and, with it, his third career NASCAR Cup Series championship.

The final stat line for the 2024 season will show Logano finishing the season with the least top-fives (7) and top-10s (13) that he's put up since his 2012 NASCAR Cup Series campaign, where he registered just two top-fives and 12 top-10s.

Regardless of how bad the season appeared for the majority of the regular season, Logano worked his way into the Playoffs by way of an unexpected five-overtime win at Nashville Superspeedway. Logano then won at Atlanta Motor Speedway in the Round of 16 to advance to the Round of 12. It took a disqualification of Alex Bowman in the final race of the Round of 12 for Logano to advance to the Round of 8. And then in the Round of 8, Logano won the opening race of the round at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Now, Logano, by scoring his 36th career win at Phoenix Raceway, is one of just 10 drivers ever to win three Bill France Cups, the trophy given to the NASCAR Cup Series champion. The championship also marks the third consecutive championship for Team Penske, which won the 2022 championship with Logano, the 2023 title with Blaney, and again with Logano in 2024.

Justin Allgaier needed a miracle, and he got it. At the end of a wild and unpredictable NASCAR Xfinity Series Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway, Allgaier finally took home his first career NASCAR Xfinity Series championship with a second-place finish in an overtime finish.

Grabbing his first championship in his 14th full-time season is already a big enough story, but it pales in comparison to the tale that was the final race. The path to a championship for Allgaier was littered with obstacles, some of which seemed too big to hurdle over. But Allgaier, crew chief Jim Pohlman, spotter Eddie D'Hondt, and the No. 7 JR Motorsports team kept their heads down through every issue.
