Kentucky betting launch means instant $400 for NASCAR fans

With Kentucky launching mobile sports betting ahead of this weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series race, fans can take advantage and claim an instant $400!

After much anticipation and buildup, Kentucky has officially become the latest state to launch mobile sports betting, doing so ahead of this Sunday afternoon’s NASCAR Cup Series playoff race at Talladega Superspeedway.

While they may not top the potential return of Kentucky Speedway, the promotions being offered by FanDuel Sportsbook and DraftKings Sportsbook amid the Bluegrass State’s long-awaited mobile sports betting launch are sure to make this race weekend one you won’t soon forget.

Both sportsbooks are offering $200 in bonus bets just for placing a single $5 bet, meaning that you effectively need to bet $10 to get $400 — and that’s even if your initial bets don’t win! Any additional winnings will still be paid out.

Follow the steps listed below to claim both of these offers.
