NASCAR Betting Online: The Feed the Children 300 kicks off from the Kentucky Speedway on june 28, in Sparta, KY. Look for live NASCAR Nationwide Series lines at Bookmaker, as some of the top drivers in the world battle for the top spot in this event, and better positioning on top of the standings.

Going into this race, there will be a clear favorite, despite the large field and general unpredictability of NASCAR Nationwide events.

Joey Logano comes into this year’s 300 at Kentucky having won three straight there, becoming the first repeat winner in the event’s history.

If anyone ever needed a friendly track this year it was Joey Logano, who started out the Sprint Cup season with just one top ten in his first 11 races, despite seven starts in the top ten. 8 of 11 races have ended with Logano outside the top-20.

The welcome curves at the Kentucky Speedway, however, may be enough to turn the number 20 car around.

Do not think for a second that the rest of the field will simply let him have it. The Nationwide Series will be in full effect by the time the Feed the Children 300 rolls around, as it marks the first race of the second half of the season.

Look for the sport’s best to come to Kentucky looking to conquer the 1.5 mile tri-oval, and further their standing on the leader board. Make sure to check the NASCAR Nationwide Series lines as the race gets closer, or you could end up missing out on what is sure to be one of the more exciting events Nationwide will see all year.

How to bet on Nascar Feed The Children 300

The odds of a driver to win the Feed The Children 300 will generally look something like:

• Jeff Gordon + 200
• Mark Martin + 250
• Jeff Burton + 300
• Bill Elliott + 700
• Robby Gordon + 700
• Field + 500

These betting odds will be lower when betting on a driver to finish in the top three, as the sportsbook must pay off three different winning bets.

A player would have to bet $10 to win $20 that Jeff Gordon will win the Feed The Children 300, while the bettor wagering on Bill Elliott stands to win $70 on their $10 wager.

Another commonly placed bet in NASCAR is head-to-head finish between two drivers. With this bet, a player doesn't really care what place the driver finishes in, as long as the driver finishes higher than the other driver.

A head-to-head betting line for the Feed The Children 300 will look something like:

• Mark Martin - 130 Jeff Burton + 110

In this bet, players wagering on Martin to finish higher than Burton will be asked to risk $13 to win $10, while bettors believing that Burton will finish higher than Martin will bet $10 to win $11.

Those familiar with sports betting will have no trouble making the transition to NASCAR wagering, while those new to the world of sports betting should be able to pick up the concepts of NASCAR betting without too much hassle.

2012 Feed the Children 300 Winner - Austin Dillon dominates Nationwide at Kentucky Speedway

In a race that has provided some drama in recent years, Austin Dillon pretty much took all the excitement out of the Feed The Children 300.

The 22-year-old utterly dominated Friday’s Nationwide Series race, leading all but eight of the 200 laps and cruising to a 9.828-second victory over Kurt Busch.

This marks the fourth time in 12 Nationwide Series races here that a driver has recorded his first win. Dillon joins David Gilliland (2006), Stephen Leicht (’07) and Joey Logano (’08) in accomplishing that feat. He is also the third first-time winner in the Series this season.

Driving the black No. 3 Chevrolet that his grandfather and car owner Richard Childress originally ran and was later put into revered status by the late Dale Earnhardt, Dillon put on a performance that was Earnhardt-esque. Only eight cars were on the lead lap when Dillon took the checkered flag.

2011 Winner

Brad Keselowski is the winner of this Feed the Children 300 Race. The race came down to fuel mileage, but he was able to save enough to make it to the end. This was Keselowski’s first series win of the 2011 season. He was able to dominate the Speedway and kept Kevin Harvick 1.18 seconds behind him.
