Kyle Busch secured his third win of the season at last weekend’s Enjoy Illinois 300 and now NASCAR heads to Sonoma Raceway in California for this week’s Save Mart 350.
This race has been in existence since 1989 and Daniel Suarez is the defending champion, having won last year’s edition of the event.
Ryan Blaney heads into the race as the NASCAR Cup Series leader with 495 points, but only 40 points separates him and Christopher Bell, who’s sitting in sixth place.
Let’s dive into the odds for this weekend’s race.

Kyle Busch to win +900
Call me boring, but I’m going to back Kyle Busch to win for the second straight week. He’s in good form after winning last week’s Enjoy Illinois 300, and now he gets to return to a track where he has already recorded two wins in his career.
He won this event both in 2008 and 2015, so he has great history at this track.
He has also finished seventh or better in three of his last four races.
It may seem like the obvious bet this week, but some times the obvious bet is the right bet to make.
At +900, I’ll take a shot on him going back-to-back.
Martin Truex Jr. Top 10 +105
I’m surprised to see that we’re able to get Martin Truex Jr. to finish in the top 10 at plus-money this weekend.
He hasn’t shown his best stuff this season, but he has two-straight top five finishes heading into this week. Not only that, but this has been one of his best tracks on the circuit. He has won this race three times, including in back-to-back years in 2018 and 2019.
Only Jeff Gordon has more wins at Sonoma Raceway than he does.
Is he past his prime? Sure. But plus-money on a guy to finish in the top 10 who has won this race three times and is coming off two strong starts? Count me in.
