NASCAR Betting by the Numbers: Homestead-Miami Championship Predictions & Picks

With the 2018 NASCAR season coming to an end this weekend at Homestead-Miami, race fans will have their final opportunity to earn a little extra money for another 3 months. Not only is that the race sure to be an exciting one, the 2018 NASCAR Champion will be crowned. This implies, NASCAR fans have the pleasure of two distinct major gambling opportunities to make the most of.

While Vegas has released their odds for every single driver to win the Ford EcoBoost 400 in Homestead-Miami, I have compiled data that reveals slightly different results. By choosing to ignore past year’s performances in this track and rather focus on season end averages based on 1.5 mile trail performances, I have produced a list of drivers which are likely to win this weekend. This listing also allows us to appraise each driver’s betting return according to their Vegas odds.
