DOVER, Del. (AP) — Bradley Saucier and Joshua Merrill made the trip from Maine to watch this weekend's NASCAR races at Dover. They had bags full of NASCAR merchandise, wore hats and shirts supporting their favorite drivers and came prepared to spend on their new favorite accessory: betting slips.
All bets were on at Dover International Speedway on Saturday when it opened its on-site kiosk and became the only track that allowed sports gambling on its property.
"I'm going to probably put the whole house on Kyle Larson straight to win," Saucier said.
Larson, who is winless this season, has 13-2 odds to win Sunday's Cup race at Dover. Fans and bettors can place a few bucks on more than just the winner of the race.
