Kyle Busch has remained the top driver in the NASCAR betting. This is true for online NASCAR betting fans even though Busch and Juan Pablo Montoya sort of tried to kill each other on the track in last Sunday’s race.

Boy, that was goofy, wasn’t it? Busch claims he did nothing wrong. Juan Pablo claims that he did. Whatever. For NASCAR online sportsbook wagering fans, Juan Pablo is a joke while Kyle is a god. No matter what Juan Pablo does, I have to go with Kyle.

Juan, leave our online betting money-maker alone!

Let’s get to the sports betting rankings!

NASCAR Elite Eight Power Rankings

1. Kyle Busch - - BetUS online odds 5/2 - - The sportsbook odds on Kyle to win the Sprint Cup this season are too low for me to suggest an online wager. I will suggest that we hope he finishes last in a few races right before the Cup march so that we can make an online sportsbook bet on the guy. Okay, Juan, maybe you should take him out a few more times…but just a few.

2. Jimmie Johnson - - BetUS online odds 6/1 - - Jimmie is the two time defending Cup champ. He was having a terrible time before the chase really began last year as well but still managed to pull out the Cup victory. What’s going to change this year? Maybe nothing. At odds of 6 to 1, I sure like Jimmie again.

3. Carl Edwards - - BetUS online odds 6 to 1 - - He’s the king at Rough Racing and was on fire earlier this year. No worries. He’ll get back on track in time to make a run for the Cup. The online wagering odds are great on a guy who could upset both Kyle and Jimmie for the big prize.

4. Jeff Gordon - - BetUS online odds of 9 to 1 - - Don’t tell me that Gordon isn’t going to make a run. If he stays in the top twelve, and makes it to the chase, then he will start winning races. Jeff is still one of the best NASCAR drivers in the world - - maybe the best. His crew is slowly catching up to him. He could make his presence felt and the 9 to 1 online betting odds are juicy.

5. Tony Stewart - - BetUS online odds of 10 to 1 - - Stewart is acting like a baby because Kyle is now the big cheese over at Joe Gibbs Racing. What the hell Tony? Stop crying, man-up, and win the Cup. Then, you could do whatever the hell you want. Please? I already put some money on you earlier this season.

6. Kasey Kahane - - BetUS online odds of 14 to 1 - - He’s been driving brilliantly lately and his crew has really picked things up. Kahane could break through this season and become not only the poster boy for everything “cute” about NASCAR but also the poster boy for what it means to be a Cup champion.

7. Denny Hamlin - - BetUS odds of 12 to 1 - - Tony is crying because Hamlin might be the second best driver at Joe Gibbs racing. Hamlin, like Kahane, is coming into his own this season. He’s a great driver who has a shot to win the Cup.

8. Dale Earnhadt Jr. - - BetUS odds of 4 to 1 - - The odds are too low on a guy who broke a losing streak by cheating. Don’t give me that crap about not knowing that he couldn’t pass the pace car. Please stop cheating Dale Jr. Could he win the Cup? Nope. Because he can’t drive worth a crap and every other driver at NASCAR knows it. Dude, I liked you as person up until you started cheating. Now, I can’t endorse you at all.
