Kyle Busch is without a doubt the hottest driver in the world right now. The man-child can’t do anything wrong. For online sportsbook NASCAR betting faithful, a wager on Kyle Busch is almost always a good online wagering decision.

Of course, Kyle’s NASCAR odds always drop from week to week and to expect him to win every single race this NASCAR season just doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. No driver can do that in today’s NASCAR - - not even Kyle Busch who is driving about as well as any driver I have ever seen.

The biggest news that came out this past week is that Tony Stewart is going to try his hand at ownership. At first I thought Tony the Tiger was going to open up his own string of rough-neck pancake houses. I mean, the guy does look like he enjoys a good heaping of pancakes once in a while. Then, I thought about it and figured, yeah, the Marlon Brando of racing is probably going to own a car racing team, right?

In any case, Tony’s mind won’t be on driving this weekend - - if he drives at all - - I can assure you of that!

Okay, enough wasting time. BetUS online sportsbook racing fans want to know who this week’s best drivers, at the best odds, are in the Lifelock.com 400.

Let’s get to it!

Best Overlaid Online Bets to Win the Lifelock.com 400

1. Kevin Harvick - - BetUS online odds + 3000 - - Harvick won a race on this track last year. Sure, he’s been driving as if he just got his license last week, but, hey, the guy will be able to turn it around. He has to. If he doesn’t, then his nickname, Happy, will have to go away. In any case getting 30 to 1 on a guy who could win this race is pretty darn good. I have to respect Harvick and make him my number one online wager in this race.

2. Jeff Gordon - - BetUS odds + 1400 - - When will the real Gordon show up? Yes, I’m stretching to say that he will win the Lifelock.com 400 but, like Harvick, he has won on this track before. Why not break the losing streak by taking down this race? For BetUS online sportsbook betting fans, the 14 to 1 odds sure are tempting. This is Jeff Gordon. Is he really going to go into the Sprint Cup Chase without a victory? I doubt it.

3. Jimmie Johnson - - BetUS odds + 700 - - The odds on Johnson makes him a better wager at this track then Kyle Busch. Busch may not cool down just yet, but Johnson should definitely start heating up. I think Jimmie could pull off a victory at the 7 to 1 odds.

4. Carl Edwards - - BetUS odds + 600 - - Actually, Carl and Kyle are probably very close in terms of who is the better online wager. I’ve placed Carl ahead of Kyle for the simple fact that Kyle is going off at + 550 whileCarl is going off at + 600. Edwards is driving very well this season. The online odds are better. Why not?

5. Kyle Busch - - BetUS odds + 550 - - Busch is the man. There’s nothing really else to say. Could he take down another NASCAR race this season? Uh, yes, he definitely could. I don’t like the odds but I can’t argue with any online wagering fan looking to score on Busch again.
