Toyota Save Mart 350 Betting
Defending champ Busch favored at Sonoma
The Sprint Cup racing series makes a stop in Northern California this weekend for the Toyota Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma.
betED.com has Kyle Busch as a +450 favorite in Auto Racing Betting Odds, followed by Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon, both at 550.
Juan Montoya is next at +650, followed by Marcos Ambrose at +750.
The Toyota Save Mart 350 is the first of two road-course races this season, the other being at Watkins Glen, NY in August.
Busch is the defending champion at Sonoma, as he earned his first career road-course victory in the Sprint Cup Series last year. Busch also went on to win at Watkins Glen.
The Sonoma race didn’t start out well for Busch, though, as he qualified 30th and struggled in practice. But Busch’s Joe Gibbs Racing team made adjustments throughout the event to put him in the lead for good with 42 laps to go.
Busch also won the Nationwide Series road-course event in Mexico City last year.
Jeff Gordon holds the record for most road-course victories with nine. Gordon is a five-time winner at Sonoma, including three in a row there from 1998-2000. He has also posted a track record five poles at Sonoma.
Gordon is now 47 points behind leader Stewart, who is also a road-course master.
Stewart has six victories, placing him in a tie with Rusty Wallace, Ricky Rudd, Richard Petty and Bobby Allison for second on the all-time road-course winners list. Two of Stewart’s wins have come at Sonoma.
