Martin Truex Jr. hopes the elimination of 100 laps this year will help him achieve a three-peat when he participates in Saturday's 2022 Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 400, which is the eighth race of the NASCAR Cup Series, at Martinsville Speedway. Truex captured the grandfather clock trophy the last two years, when the length of the race was still 500 laps. Truex is the 9-2 favorite in the latest 2022 Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 400 odds from Caesars Sportsbook. The 2022 NASCAR at Martinsville green flag drops at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Before making any 2022 Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 400 picks, you NEED to see what SportsLine's Micah Roberts has to say. A former Vegas bookmaker, Roberts was the first to offer expanded NASCAR betting and now hands out NASCAR winners to his followers on SportsLine.

Roberts is the nation's premier NASCAR betting expert, and his top pick, Chase Elliott, won the Jockey Made in America 250 last season. He also correctly predicted the 2021 Coca-Cola 600 winner, hitting Kyle Larson's win at 11-2 odds. The previous week, he was on point at the EchoPark Texas Grand Prix, targeting Elliott as the winner at 8-5 odds. Anyone who has followed his picks has cashed tickets.

Now, Roberts has analyzed the NASCAR at Martinsville 2022 starting grid for Saturday's Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 400. We can tell you he's fading Ryan Blaney, even though he is one of the top favorites. In fact, Roberts says Blaney doesn't even crack the top 10!

However, Roberts is high on a HUGE long shot who "has evolved into being good at Martinsville." This driver is being underestimated by oddsmakers, and anyone who backs him could hit it BIG! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before making any picks.
