The NASCAR Cup and XFINITY Series are off this weekend, but fear not motorsports bettors!
Yes, there will be NASCAR Truck Series action on Saturday night and Formula 1 racing on Sunday morning, but this weekend also marks the start of the Superstar Racing Experience's (SRX) second season.
SRX, the brainchild of three-time Cup Series champion Tony Stewart and former Cup Series champion crew chief and team owner, Ray Evernham, pits superstar drivers from multiple disciplines against one another in a six-race summer racing series.
Included in the field are former Cup Series and IndyCar champions, Daytona 500 and Indy 500 winners as well some of the best dirt racers across the county.
SRX's inaugural season took place last year, and the 2022 schedule gets underway Saturday (8 p.m. ET, CBS) at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Fla.
To my knowledge, SRX odds weren't available last season and aren't yet widely available for Saturday night's race.
However, Caesars Sportsbook has taken a stab for this weekend's season opener at Five Flag Speedway.
Unsurprisingly, Stewart, who earned the 2021 SRX series championship, is this week's betting favorite at +250.
Behind Stewart are Greg Biffle (+400), who notched 19 victories in his Cup Series career, and Ernie Francis Jr. (+500), who finished second in SRX's championship standings last season.
Below is the full list of SRX odds for Saturday night's race at Five Flags Speedway.
