Nationwide Camping World 300 - Sharps Know this is BIG

NASCAR betting sharps should know that if you want to make educated Daytona 500 picks, it's always a good idea to pay attention to Camping World 300 odds the night before. While the Nationwide series may not receive the same media coverage as the Sprint Cup tour, the drivers certainly treat it the same way. There are a few minor differences to the cars, in terms of structure and speed, however the racers are every bit as concerned about their Nationwide races as their tilts in the supposed “big leagues.”

Every weekend, the racers who run well on the Nationwide tour will generally do just as well the following afternoon. With that being said, let's take a look at four racers who are great NASCAR picks on Saturday, as well as Sunday!

David Ragan +2000

For the NASCAR betting sharps out there, you already know what incredible value this is. You're looking at a hungry racer, with a bright future in the Sprint Cup series—perhaps the next big thing—and you are being given the opportunity to wager on him at +2000 on NASCAR lines. Ragan is a very aggressive driver, which perhaps could be his downfall on a testy track such as Daytona, but the UPS-sponsored driver has two Top 5 finishes and two Top 10 finishes at Daytona in the Sprint series. Why not take a proven, hungry driver with these odds?

Carl Edwards +800

Nobody in NASCAR drives harder than Carl Edwards right now. As a bettor, you can be confident that the #60 isn't out there to earn points towards the end-of-season championship; he's looking at the championship that comes with the checkered flag at the end of the track. These NASCAR odds set at +800 are great value, considering Edwards was, if you combine both the Nationwide and Sprint tours, the best driver in all of NASCAR in 2008.

Clint Bowyer +1200

The defending Nationwide Series champion listed at +1200? Yes, please! Bowyer has an incredible 29 Top 10 finishes on this tour, and nine at Daytona alone! This is tremendous value for those looking to bet on NASCAR this season. Bowyer made huge strides by qualifying for the Sprint Cup chase last season as well, so don't stop paying attention to him after Saturday—take a look at him for the Great American Race, too.

Matt Kenseth +1200

Somehow, Mr. Consistency lives up to his name every time he gets behind the wheel, and makes those betting on NASCAR extremely happy each week. Kenseth, if you can believe it, has seven Top 5 finishes at Daytona on the Nationwide Series alone! BetUS customers need to take a look at the former Sprint Cup champion here on Saturday and once again on Sunday at the Daytona 500, where he's listed even higher on NASCAR odds at +2000.
