With Netflix Extending ‘NASCAR: Full Speed,’ Sportsbook Tabs Kyle Larson With Top Cup Series Championship Odds

Listed at +400, Kyle Larson continues to draw the top sports betting odds to capture the NASCAR Cup Series championship, according to BetOnline Sportsbook.

Beginning with Sunday’s YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, the circuit’s final five races could provide the stock-car racing industry with a ratings boost. NASCAR officials announced a second season of Netflix’s “NASCAR: Full Speed.”

“I couldn’t be more excited to be expanding our partnership with NASCAR with Full Speed Entertainment,” Words + Pictures CEO and founder Connor Schell said, as reported NASCAR.com. “The first season of Full Speed was a really rewarding project for our company, and it was a thrill to work side-by-side with NASCAR Studios every step of the way.

“The opportunity to bring audiences more great racing content and collaborate with NASCAR opens a wealth of possibilities we can’t wait to get working on.”

The second season is scheduled to premiere in 2025.

NASCAR Officials Staging Talladega Tests

NASCAR Cup Series officials plan to execute aerodynamic alterations on the machines before the Cup Series’ Round of 12 events at Talladega Superspeedway.

The changes the sanctioning body mandated included the addition of an extended-height roof rail, rocker panel skirt and fabric beneath the right-side roof flap. These changes should cut down on the risks of a machine becoming airborne during an accident at the iconic 2.66-mile track.

Here’s hoping the changes keep the potential problems grounded.
