Bet On NASCAR - Toyota Save Mart 350
Road course ''ringers'' and road course
specialists, both have the same meaning,
but get accustomed to hearing each term
used often on Sunday at Infineon Raceway
in Sonoma, CA during
the Toyota/Save Mart 350.
The online NASCAR betting community will
buckle-up this weekend for a ride featuring
maneuvers they're not familiar with: turning
right. The Sprint Cup series invades wine
country to get loopy on the twist-and-turns
of Infineon Raceway, and it's a race the
online NASCAR gambling becomes bet friendly
because of the edges bettors can gain.
Boris Said, Ron
Fellows and Scott Pruett are the most popular
of the road course specialists and primarily
hired by car owners for these specific
races. Said will be driving for car owner
Mark Simo in the No. 160 Ford Cup series
regular Reed Sorenson was removed from
the No. 41 Dodge for Pruett, while rookie
of the year candidate Regan Smith turns
the wheel over to his No. 01 Chevrolet
to Fellows.
At first glance,
they seem like solid online NASCAR wagering
selections because they're ''hand-picked''
to take on the twist-and-turns of road
courses and the hype they receive by the
media. Before investing in one of the trio
of ''ringers'', let's take a look at some
numbers that support why BetUS
NASCAR odds aren't giving them much respect.

Said, Fellows,
and Pruett have combined for 12 top-10
finishes in their 33 career road course
starts. But none of the three have ever
found Victory Lane in a Sprint Cup race
with right turns. A “ringer” hasn’t
won a road course event in over 30 years.
The last was Mark Donohue at Riverside International
Raceway in 1973.
Said won the pole in 2003 and has four top-10s
in past five years at Infineon, and only
three others have finished in the top-5:
Robby Gordon (second), Pruett (third) and
Terry Labonte, who was third in 2006 while
not running a full schedule that season.
Let's face it, these ''ringers'' don't normally
get much media attention or recognition around
the garage, because they have made their
careers road racing in other series. Series
that most of us have never even heard of.
But they are lined up for their big shot
this weekend.
They don't do well and when racing against
talent of the Sprint Cup series, it's hard
to invest in any of the road course specialists.
Oddsmakers aren't giving them much of a chance
at taking the checkers, pricing Said at +1800,
Fellows +2000 and Pruett +2000.
If you go for
a big payday and insist on riding with
a ''ringer'', Said is your man. His 6'4''
frame and unique hairstyle that seems unattended
to, that can be seen from across the track,
makes for groupies called ''Said Heads''.
And, he has been able to contend with NASCAR’s
best at Infineon Raceway.
Ok, now that we've talked about the road
course specialists, and the ''Said Heads'',
let's get to the business of winning money
and discussing who will actually win this
race. According to BetUS NASCAR odds this
is going to be a two man race between Jeff
Gordon and Tony Stewart.
Both share favoritism priced at +450 and
it's easy to see why. Gordon leads the way
with nine career road course Sprint Cup wins
(which includes Watkins Glen) and Stewart
is on his bumper with six lifetime road course
Cup wins. Gordon holds the advantage at Sonoma,
with five wins to Stewart's two.
Juan Pablo Montoya won this race in 2007
for his one and only Cup win but hasn't even
came close to Victory Lane since. Montoya
is a former open-wheel and solid road course
racer so last year's win at Sonoma wasn't
that big of an upset, but what was impressive
is he started 32nd to take the checkers.
That's the furthest back any driver has started
to win on either road course on the Cup circuit.

Prior to Montoya's win, no driver outside
the top-13 has ever won this race. Based
on his past performances by Montoya since
that sole win, it's somewhat surprising oddsmakers
have made him their second choice at +550.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. ended a 76-race winless
streak with a victory last week at Michigan
International Speedway, but if bet on Sprint
Cup action and you're considering investing
in momentum on Sunday, you may want to reconsider
even with NASCAR's most popular driver priced
at +3000.
Earnhardt Jr. has never won at Infineon
and his career best at the track is 11th,
which he collected in 2003 and again in 2004
when he led just nine laps combined.
Analysis: Having won half of the past 10
races on the 1.99-mile road course, Gordon
is going to be tough to beat. He's also collected
nine top-5 finishes and 11 top-10's with
a stout 9.7 average of finish in his career
at Sonoma. Gordon has yet to win in 2008
but has been progressing weekly and there's
no better place to earn his first season
victory than on a track he virtually owns.
