The first of four scheduled Excursions to Virginia is on Sunday, March 24th Using All the 71st running of Their STP 500 at the Martinsville Speedway in Ridgeway, Virginia.

The Martinsville Speedway is the trail in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. The STP 500 is the first of two races with the next one being the very first Data 500 at the NASCAR Playoffs.

Clint Bowyer won the race this past year and this year, another affluent field is set to go into the race with several drivers that can definitely win the occasion. Let us take a look at who the oddsmakers believe are going to be the drivers to observe this weekend.

“Racing” The Notifications
Kyle Busch is the favorite. After winning the Ticket Guardian 500 at Arizona last March 10th, Busch kept the pace with another victory at the Auto Club 400 at California. With back to back wins in the last two weekends, no question Kyle Busch deserves to be the +162 favorite here. Busch has finished no lower than 6th place in six out of his last seven races overall and as soon as it comes to the STP 500, he won here in 2016, ended runner-up in the previous two decades and has placed at 5th in each of his last seven appearances here at the Martinsville Speedway.

Martin Truex Jr. set 8th last week at the Automobile Club Speedway. The 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR collection Cup winner has five Top 10 finishes in seven races this year including three in the Top 5. Heading for the weekend, Trues has finished no worse than fourth in his last three races in the Martinsville Speedway.

2017 winner Brad Keselowski has placed at 6th in four out of the last six looks at the STP 500. Keselowski also enjoys racing at the Martinsville Speedway as he’s completed no lower than 5th in six from his last eight races here.

Joey Logano ended next to Busch in California last weekend however while he came up short again, Logano has three Top 5 finishes already this season, including a win at the Pennzoil 400 last month at Las Vegas. It is interesting he’s won only once here in Martinsville Speedway but that victory came in his final race here, the First Data 500 past October 2018.

Denny Hamlin has not picked up a victory since his victory at the Daytona 500 final year but he has definitely been consistent. Hamlin is a 6.8 ending in his first five races this year and is doing a fantastic job holding his own in the Drivers Championship. Hamlin has won thrice, the last being in 2015, with just Richard Petty, Darren Waltrip, and Rusty Wallace winning more than him. In addition, he holds two successes in the Martinsville Speedway while racing in the Camping Truck World Series.
