NASCAR Championship Odds & Betting Preview, Plus What NC Bettors Can Expect in March

The NASCAR season is about to rev into full gear, kicking off a 2024 schedule that begins with the Daytona 500 on Feb. 18 and includes the annual Memorial Day weekend stop at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, NC. The 1.5-mile racetrack north of Charlotte may be quiet now, but it won’t stay that way for long. 

Hendrick Motorsports teammates William Byron and Kyle Larson are the co-favorites at most sportsbooks to win the NASCAR premier-series title in 2024, with defending champion Ryan Blaney third on the board. And once North Carolina sports betting launches on March 11, those in the Old North State will be able to wager legally on NASCAR among other sports.

The top North Carolina betting apps will offer odds on all NASCAR races, including the events in Charlotte scheduled for May 26 and Oct. 13. Blaney won the Memorial Day 600-miler last year at Charlotte to jump-start his title run, while A.J. Allmendinger claimed the fall race on Charlotte’s “Roval” which uses parts of the oval and infield road course.

Best NASCAR Betting Promos & Bonus Codes

North Carolina Opens New Market for NASCAR

North Carolina bettors will first be able to legally wager on NASCAR for the March 17 event at Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee. New sports bettors will also have the opportunity to claim North Carolina sportsbook promos, which typically earn customers bonus bets they can then use to wager at the site. You must be at least 21 years old, and physically within the state in order to take advantage of these offers.

Since BetMGM has partnered with Charlotte Motor Speedway to obtain market access in North Carolina, new customers can look for a BetMGM North Carolina bonus code, which in January awarded $158 in bonus bets on an initial $5 wager with use of the bonus code USATODAY. Bonus bets offer a great way for new bettors to build their bankroll, though they do expire after a designated length of time.

Sports bettors in the Old North State should also look for the DraftKings North Carolina promo code, given that DraftKings has partnered with Charlotte-based NASCAR to enter the North Carolina market. As of January, this offer awarded new users $200 in bonus bets after an initial $5 wager, with no promo code required.

Nearing Finish Line for Launch Day in NC

Of course, those aren’t the only promos that NASCAR bettors will be able to choose from once North Carolina online sports betting launches on March 11. The Caesars Sportsbook North Carolina promo code is likely to offer a $1,000 first-bet offer or some sort of Bet & Get promo as it has in other states where it has gone live.

A relatively new player on the U.S. sports betting scene is Fanatics, which NASCAR fans will know as the distributor of hats, jackets, and other driver-themed gear worn at the track. The Fanatics Sportsbook North Carolina promo code will also likely be a Bet & Get offer to mirror its national promo.

Like a line of cars barreling into the fourth turn at Charlotte Motor Speedway, legal sports betting in North Carolina is almost here. People in other states where sports betting is already legal can take advantage of these promo code offers anytime. For sports bettors in North Carolina, hang on — the checkered flag is in sight.
