NASCAR bettor wins $86,000 on unbelievable Sonoma weekend parlay
One bettor watching NASCAR’s race weekend at Sonoma is elated with how both the Cup Series and Xfinity Series races turned out.
Aric Almirola took home the checkered flag in Xfinity, while Martin Truex Jr. won the Cup Series showdown, but a bettor who wasn’t behind the wheel of a stock car may have been the biggest winner. Following Sunday’s race, The Action Network shared an insane NASCAR parlay to Twitter, one that netted one of the biggest wins you’ll ever see.
Check it out below, as the mystery bettor put their money on Almirola and Truex Jr. and it more than paid off, to the tune of $86,000.
That’s simply a silly amount of money to win off a $25 bet. What a legendary cash from Sunday’s race at Sonoma.
Whoever this bettor is, we’re willing to put some money on them being a fan for life in Almirola and Truex Jr.’s camp moving forward. That’s an amazing win, and one that won’t be soon forgotten in the betting world.
More on Martin Truex Jr.’s Toyota Save Mart 350 victory
Moreover, the second leg of the massive parlay hit due to Martin Truex Jr.’s dominating victory at Sonoma.
In Wine Country, the Joe Gibbs Racing wheelman got the job done after a late restart in the Toyota Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway. This wasn’t the most exciting NASCAR race, but we did get to see tire strategy play a factor. It also delivered a late restart just as things were feeling settled and over with. Toyota was the big story of the day, but toward the end of the race that started to change.
Tire strategy played a big role in this race. It just turned out that Martin Truex Jr. had a really good strategy and a really fast car. The Toyotas started out super strong with five in the top-10 to start the race. Eventually, some of that shook out and left just two of those Toyotas in the top group by the end of the Toyota Save Mart 350.
Through the twists and turns, up and down the hills of Sonoma, it is Truex Jr. who comes away with the win. It is his fourth at the track and his second win of the 2023 season. Watch out, the 2017 champ is looking strong.
This one looked predictable until it wasn’t. Martin Truex Jr. was the best car all day and he was driving his way to a win. That’s when Denny Hamlin spun out and hit the wall, breaking his toe link in the process. A caution flag with 17 laps to go made this one a dash for the finish.
Drivers like Kyle Busch, Michael McDowell, and Chris Buescher all breathed a sigh of relief as they were able to compete for the win and give Truex Jr. a run for his money. While Rowdy gave Truex a tough race at the end, it just wasn’t enough.
