NASCAR Betting – Sprint Cup - Hendrick Motorsports Takes On Richmond

[Shame About Ray]

BetUS NASCAR odds on Hendrick Motorsports posting just one win after nine races would have been astronomical. After a dominating 2007 Sprint Cup campaign, in which Hendrick drivers won 18-of-36 races, Jimmie Johnson is the only horse among four in the Hendrick stable that's found Victory Lane this season.

Johnson's win came at Phoenix on April 12, but it's a small feat considering the No. 48 Lowe's Chevrolet took the checkers a series-best 10 times last year with 20 top-fives and 24 top-10s en route to a Sprint Cup championship.

There's much debate going around the NASCAR betting community as to why Hendrick is off to such a slow start. With Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Casey Mears being the remaining three of the Hendrick four horsemen, it's certainly not due to a lack of talent.

As crazy as it may sound, Hendrick Motorsports may not be struggling at all, as they continue to bust bankrolls owned by the NASCAR wagering public supporting them. It's very likely they aren't again dominating this season because other teams and drivers have caught up to Hendrick in terms of strength and competition.
