The highly competitive nature of NASCAR's Sprint Cup series can make it really hard to pick an outright winner in any given week, but anyone betting on Brad Keselowski the past two races have cashed in big at the betting window. With last week's victory at Kentucky, the driver of the No. 2 Ford will be going for his third-straight win this Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway after making his way to the Winner's Circle two weeks ago at Daytona. He also became the first Sprint Cup driver this season to lay claim to four checkered flags in a point race event.
While another win on Sunday would be an unbelievable run, there is a recent precedent for winning three Sprint Cup point races in a row. Last season, Kyle Busch started his impressive three-race winning streak with a victory at Kentucky following by win in this race and first place run at the Brickyard in Indianapolis. I actually like Keselowski's chances to match this feat on Sunday simply because I believe you should always keep betting on a hot hand until it finally cools.
One side note for this week's NASCAR preview on SBR Picks (link copied below) is the recent announcement that Dale Earnhardt Jr. will miss Sunday's race due to concussion-like symptoms following recent wrecks at Michigan and Daytona. I actually liked his chances to win this week as my top-valued longshot at +2000 betting odds with BetAnySports. As a default longshot, I would take a closer look at rookie driver Chase Elliott at those same betting odds (+2000) as he continues his pursuit of his first career Sprint Cup win.
