Motorsports parlay this weekend: Bets for Monaco GP, Indy 500, Coca-Cola 600

Originally posted on Action Network | By Nick Giffen | Last updated 5/24/24

We've got a jam-packed Sunday in the motorsports world, highlighted by the biggest race in the world, the Indianapolis 500.

Also on the docket this Sunday is NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600 in Charlotte, while Formula One has the always popular Monaco GP. All three races are getting started at different times on Sunday, leaving racing fans with the perfect day to plop down in front of the couch for hours upon hours of racing action.

Formula One: Monaco Grand Prix, 9 a.m. ET
IndyCar: Indianapolis 500, 12:45 p.m. ET
NASCAR: Coca-Cola 600, 6 p.m. ET

And if that's the case, why not have a little fun with some betting action? On Green Dot Daily this week, Action Network predictive analyst Nick Giffen has cooked up a juicy parlay with value bets on all three races. At the time of this writing, this parlay at FanDuel has odds of +16442.

Remember to bet responsibly — this is a long shot for a reason.

Formula One | Monaco Grand Prix

Lando Norris Podium Finish (-130)

Formula One can be a bit of "what have you done for me lately?" and, well, Lando Norris's team, McLaren, got some upgrades two races ago. In those two races, Norris has finished first — which seems impossible to do in a world where Max Verstappen seemingly wins every race — and he finished second the other time.

Norris has four podium finishes in his last five races and especially with these upgrades, you've got to think that these -130 odds are just a bit too short.

IndyCar | Indianapolis 500

Colton Herta Top-3 Finish (+450)

All week long in Indianapolis, Colton Herta has looked like he's had one of the best cars. In the final practice of the week on Friday at Carb Day, he looked fantastic as well.

Last year, Herta went from a starting spot in the back-half of the teens all the way up to top five before having a collision coming out of pit road. Up to that point, Herta had a car that looked like it could've contended for a win.

He likes this year's car just as much, if not more. They've barely touched this car since they unloaded.

Herta is definitely one of the cars to beat this year. I love the odds on the top-3 finish.

NASCAR | Coca-Cola 600

Zane Smith Top-10 Finish (+1600)

I tracked this in the Action App earlier this week and it hasn't moved, so let's go back to it.

Zane Smith should've had a top 10 in Texas, but for a late caution. He had a car that was capable of a top-10 finish in Kansas, but unfortunately clipped the wall early on in that race.

He finished 10th in this race last year with about the same-sized team. His best career finish has come here at Charlotte in a race that can be chaotic, so I like his chances this weekend.
