By Jerry Jordan, Editor Erik Jones has seven Top 10s in 2023 but his run at Kansas Speedway, on Sunday, notched his first Top 3 of the NASCAR season as he kept the No. 43 Legacy Motor Club Chevrolet up front for most of the 400-mile race. After getting out of the car he knew he had a chance to notch a win but sometimes bad luck happens in racing. #ErikJones #KansasSpeedway #LegacyMotorSclub #NASCAR

By Jerry Jordan, Editor DARLINGTON, S.C. – Gambling used to be taboo in auto racing but with NASCAR now having sponsorship arrangements with multiple big-name sportsbooks and even though it’s something added to the fan experience many drivers don’t care what the oddsmakers think about their chances. “Who makes the odds,” asked Chris Buescher, the three-time winner was told he is 16-to-1. “Experts in Vegas? That sentence doesn’t even make sense to me. So, expert gamblers? Who are these experts? No, no, it doesn’t matter. The gambling side of our sport has been a lot of fun for a lot of people. “I can’t tell you how many people will come up to me at the racetrack and probably this week, too, and say, ‘Yeah, you made me fifty bucks’ or ‘thank you, you made me three grand here.’ That’s awesome. I am happy for you but I have no clue how that happened. Good for you. Proud to do it but it doesn’t matter. We measure internally what we are doing, what we car capable of, what we need to improve on. We know all these things and no expert oddsmaker living in Las Vegas is going to change how we approach our races.” Since NASCAR drivers are forbidden from betting on themselves, or anything involved in motorsports, that may play into their answers about what the oddsmakers think of winning the Cup Series championship. At first, Joey Logano acted like he was interested, asking “where am I at” but then quickly corrected himself saying, “I don’t care.” #BetMGM #Championship #Gambling #NASCAR
