NASCAR Betting Online: The Virginia 529 College Savings 250 provides the perfect backdrop for an excuse to put some money down on NASCAR Nationwide Series wagering. Just think of it as putting money into a college fund, but one that provides a much larger return than some minuscule growth you'd get from normal benefits. Betting on the Virginia 529 College Savings 250 is essentially an investment in your future and that of your family.

Tune in on Friday, September 7 under the lights at Richmond International Speedway, as some of the top drivers in the business put their pedals to the metal live on ESPN2 at 7:30 p.m. ET.

As the Nationwide Series winds down into its final stretch, every race is important to standings and momentum. The Virginia 529 College Savings 250 is in the final quarter of the season, and the intensity will be high, as drivers look to position themselves for the last few races.

Last year, Kevin Harvick took home the victory, becoming only the second driver to win the event three times. Dale Earnhardt Jr, won it three times from 1998 to 2002. Harvick beat out Brad Keselowski and Trevor Bayne to take home enough cash to supply a college fund for his children, though considering he owns his own racing team, I would say that was never going to be an issue.

Richmond International Raceway should provide quite a spectacle for fans and viewers, as the dramatic D shaped oval, always running under its bright lights, hosts its second NASCAR Nationwide Series race of the year. In the Bubba Burger 250 back in April, Denny Hamlin took home the victory. Look for the star to be in the running for another big Nationwide win.
