BET GEICO 500 ODDS - TALLADEGA SUPERSPEEDWAY DRIVER LINES

NASCAR Nextel Cup will have some southern hospitality when the GEICO 500, formely Aaron's 499, takes on the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama on April 30, 2016. The big, 2.7-mile Talladega Super speedway track is known for races with lots of passing and cars travelling four or five cars wide.

Talladega is one of the fastest tracks in NASCAR with four lanes and a backstretch that is nearly 4,000 feet long. With this layout, stock cars have reached speeds exceeding 220 mph! Talladega Superspeedway also plays host to the Alabama 500 (Amp Energy 500)later in October.

The power and strength of this 2.66 mile beast of a track is unparalleled with any other in the world. The 33 degrees of banking around the track and 18 degrees in the front tri-oval make handling a secondary consideration. Talladega is big, fast, and all about horsepower and drafting. The distance allows for the drivers to just mash the pedal and drive.

Wagering on NASCAR is often based on looking into the previous year's NASCAR race results at specific locations or for specific races. This holds especially true for Super speedway restrictor-plate races in the NASCAR season.

Jeff Gordon took home the win in 2007, in a exciting 2008, we watched Kyle Busch come from a lap down to win the Aaron's 499 and in 2009, it will be Brad Keselowski defending his title.
