NASCAR Betting Preview
Moving towards Chicagoland Speedway this weekend, NASCAR entered the second half of the season. All the top drivers of The Sprint Cup Series are revving up their engines for the LifeLock.com 400.
LinesMaker has released the odds for the championship. The top favorites to run up front on Saturday are Jimmie Johnson, Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch and Jeff Gordon.
Claiming the third position in the point standings, Johnson is vying for his fifth Sprint Cup Championship and is hugely favored by bettors with +350 odds. He had a tough time last week at Daytona, where he finished 31st owing to an accident, breaking a streak of four straight Top-10 finishes. The No.45 driver has posted an average finishing of 8:1 at Chicagoland, but is still to visit Victory Lane.
Having odds of +600, Hamlin also faced tough luck at the Coke Zero 400, dropping from fourth to 24th and has fallen off the pace for this tourney. The No.11 ride didn’t make it to the Top-10 in three straight races, posting an average finish of 24th. He has taken the track at Chicagoland just four times, finishing fifth last season at 19th.
Kyle on the other hand just missed finishing in the Top 10, as his No. 18 car’s wheels came off. He posted four straight finishes, with an average of 27.5 at that stretch, including 40th-place at Daytona. Busch has an average finish of 12.8 at Chicagoland, and is listed at +700 at LinesMaker. He won in 2008, however came in 33rd last season.
Sitting at +800, Gordon is in second place in the points, thanks to his great performance at Daytona last weekend, where he finished third. Having an average finish of 9.2, he will officially embark on his 600th career NASCAR race at Chicagoland.
