Positional bets for 2021 Foxwood Resort Casino 301
Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 8:33 a.m. ET.
Kyle Busch Top-3 Finish (+155)
Play KYLE BUSCH (+155) TOP-3 FINISH. Busch has dominated over the years at NHMS, leading all drivers with 1,128 laps led in his 29 career Cup Series starts. He has finished fifth or higher in 11 of those 29 outings, winning three times.
KYLE BUSCH (-115) TOP-5 FINISH is also a solid play.
Joey Logano Top-5 Finish (+140)
New Hampshire Motor Speedway is unofficially Logano’s home track as he hails from nearby Connecticut. It will always hold a special place in his heart as he picked up his first Cup Series win June 28, 2009 when he was just 19 years old.
He has managed two wins, seven top-5 finishes and 12 top-10 runs with a 14.7 Average-Finish Position (AFP).
Playing LOGANO TOP-5 FINISH (+140) is a nice value.
Cole Custer Top-10 Finish (+550)
It’s a roll of the dice, but the Stewart-Haas Racing driver posted an eighth-place finish in his first Cup Series start at Loudon last season.
Playing CUSTER TOP-10 FINISH (+550) for a chance to multiply your initial wager by 5.5 times is a nice play.

2021 Foxwood Resort Casino 301 head-to-head/matchup plays
KYLE BUSCH (-105) over Kyle Larson (-115)
Playing against Larson a couple of weeks ago would have seemed ludicrous. He has cooled off a bit, while Kyle Busch has started to heat up.
Busch has dominated at this track with the most active laps of any driver in the field.
JOEY LOGANO (+100) over Chase Elliott (-120)
Logano, as mentioned above, has had tremendous results at NHMS, including two victories. Elliott has actually struggled a bit in Loudon, going for just one top-5 and two top-10 finishes in seven career Cup starts with a 16.0 AFP. He has led just 33 laps in his career at the track, too.
Elliott doesn’t have a tough time at most tracks, but New Hampshire isn’t his bag.
