NASCAR Betting Online: The NASCAR Nationwide Series betting you have always wanted to get into is easily available and accessible at Bookmaker, the top sportsbook on the web. One race you may want to pay attention to is the OneMain Financial 200 on Saturday, September 28, roaring to a start at 3:30 PM ET from Dover International Speedway in Dover, DE. Check out the high-octane action live on ESPN2 to make sure your bet comes to fruition.

With only five races remaining after this one, the OneMain Financial 200 is the beginning of the end. Look for the intensity from the drivers to pick up, as the finish line rounds into sight on this 2012 NASCAR Nationwide series.

The favorite to win this race will likely be Kyle Busch, who saves his points for the Sprint Cup Series, but is adept at winning on the Nationwide Series as well.  This year, Busch won three of the first five Nationwide events. Considering that Busch also has two of the last three victories in this event, it seems the Dover 200 is Busch’s to lose.

Busch is one of only three drivers to win this event multiple times. The other two are Matt Kenseth in 1998 and 2000, and Harry Gant who, in 1990 and ’91, is the only driver to win this event in back to back years. Busch looks to pull off the same feat and become the most successful driver in this event in one fell swoop.

However, do not underestimate some of the Nationwide drivers who are actually poised to receive points for this run, as their motivation will be through the roof coming down the stretch. With so much on the line, the heart of a Ricky Stenhouse Jr. or Reed Sorenson may overcome Busch’s skill.

How to bet on Nascar Dover 200

The odds of a driver to win the Dover 200 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 Dover 200, 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 Dover 200 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 OneMain Financial 200 Winner - Logano dominates Dover

Joey Logano won his seventh Nationwide Series race of the season and 16th of his career when he took the checkered flag at Saturday’s OneMain Financial 200 at Dover International Speedway. It was Logano’s second win this year at the “Monster Mile,” making him the sixth driver in the Nationwide Series to sweep both Dover races; 2012 is also the third-straight year a driver has swept.

Logano, who qualified third in the #18 SportClips Toyota, led 184 of 200 laps in the event, giving Joe Gibbs Racing its 75th Nationwide Series win, just one week after collecting its 100th Cup Series win.

Brian Scott, in the #11 Dollar General Toyota, vaulted from 38th starting spot to a seventh-place finish at Dover, giving him his second top 10 finish at the track this year and the third of his career. Scott continues to hold ninth-place in Nationwide Series points.

2011 OneMain Financial 200 Winner - Carl Edwards cruised to a dominant win on the Monster Mile

Carl Edwards didn't take the lead of the OneMain Financial 200 Nationwide Series race at Dover International Speedway until the restart on lap 11 after a debris caution: but after that, he notched up 179 laps in front and was never under any threat.

Polesitter Elliott Sadler led the first ten laps, and Brad Keselowski had a couple of stints in the lead during pit stop sequences, but the winner of the 29th race of the 34-race season had never been in doubt.

Edwards finished 0.791s ahead of Keselowski at the end with fellow Cup regulars Clint Bowyer and Kasey Kayne taking the next positions. Edwards' Roush Fenway stablemates Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Trevor Bayne were the highest-placed of those eligible for Nationwide championship points in fifth and sixth.
