NASCAR's toughest tracks
Taking on the task of betting NASCAR races can be a challenging puzzle week in and week out as the series travels to many different circuits all across America. Unlike basketball courts or football fields, each one of them has their own quirks and idiosyncrasies. In this article, we will discuss the speedways that are the most challenging tracks at which to cash winning tickets.
Daytona International Speedway/Talladega Superspeedway
Even though Daytona and Talladega look a little different, they play the same. They each feature 500 miles of action-packed racing that will leave you on the edge of your seat. You haven’t lived yet until you've wagered on a Superspeedway NASCAR race. Thirty plus cars glued together, inches apart at 200 miles per hour is a sight to see. If your driver is lucky enough to have made it to the final twenty laps that’s a victory in itself.Here's @FoxSports' new Daytona 500 spot that will debut Sunday during the @Saints-@Vikings game on @FoxTV.

The “Big One” always happens, and most likely takes out majority of the field. Your heart will pound out of your chest, but understand no ticket is sweeter to cash in NASCAR than one that comes from Daytona or Talladega. They’re the best betting races due to odds being so good for every driver, but they’re the hardest to hit.
Darlington Raceway
The Lady in Black is an odd-shaped track in South Carolina that is considered “too tough to tame.” What makes it so tough is that drivers are forced to run inches apart from the wall because that’s the fastest way around the track. It’s extremely difficult for drivers to makes passes. Drivers either love it or hate it there. Having to run so close to the wall means that with one slip up and a driver can lose control and destroy his car. It will always be considered a “horse for course” kind of track. In order to cash a ticket at Darlington, you’ll need a little luck and a perfect performance from your driver.Sonoma Raceway
Sonoma is one of the few road courses on the circuit. It’s tucked away in California’s wine country. It’s a road course that plays like a short track. What that means is that the corners require the drivers to drop to low speeds and make tight turns. One mistake could leave a driver spinning out in the grass off the track.Some of the biggest and wildest moments at Sonoma Raceway pic.twitter.com/NO0ukOdrTX

A team cannot have any malfunctions with their vehicle. Sonoma will push the car to the limits and will also suck out every ounce of talent a driver has. They are no “lucky” wins at Sonoma, which means you cannot cash any lucky tickets there. A driver is either good enough, or they’re not. Always do your homework on who has the goods to be successful on road courses before wagering at Sonoma.
