Micah Roberts | Christopher Bell |
Roberts told Sportsline that (h/t CBS) that Christopher Bell is a racer to keep a close eye on this weekend at Martinsville Speedway. Bell, who is priced +2800 to win the 2021 Blue Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500, can be somewhat of a surprise pick to win for some. For one, Bell has finished poorly in his last two races; Bell went 21st in Atlanta then 34th in Bristol (dirt). However, Roberts notes that Bell will be racing with the same “race package” that gave the 26-year-old the most success this season, particularly at the O’Reilly Auto Parts 253 At Daytona, which he won, and at the Instacart 500 in Phoenix, where he finished ninth.

Dan Beaver | Ricky Stenhouse Jr. |
Dan Beaver of Yahoo Sports is eyeing veteran Ricky Stenhouse Jr. as a tasty long-shot pick to win the 2021 Blue Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500. Noting that Stenhouse Jr. has been around the game long enough to not be overexcited over his fantastic runner-up finish last week at the Food City Dirt Race, Beaver thinks that the Team JTG Daugherty Racing driver will be a nice value play this week again. Stenhouse is currently +15000 to win the race at Martinsville Speedway this Saturday.
