NASCAR Betting – Checker O’Reilly Auto Parts 500

There are only two races left for Carl Edwards to catch Jimmie Johnson. I don’t see it happening, but sometimes craziness reigns in NASCAR. Sports betting fans have to consider Jimmie a prime candidate for online bet of the year.

He was 7 to 1 to take down his third straight Cup right before the Chase started. Johnson has the perfect crew, perfect car, and driving smarts to be one of the best, if not the best, driver in NASCAR history.

He’s probably already there.

Let’s get to it!

Best Online Wagering Interests for the Checker O’Reilly Auto Parts 500

1. Jimmie Johnson – – online betting odds + 400 – – Jimmie won this race last year and even though he’s chalk in this, I can’t imagine him not finishing in the top two. His crew knows this Phoenix track about as well as anybody. Jimmie wins this and secures his third straight Cup victory.

2. Jeff Gordon – – online betting odds + 1500 – – It’s been a hugely disappointing year for Gordon and his crew. Nobody expected the greatest driver in NASCAR in the past ten years to not win a single race. Maybe, I missed one along the journey. Nope. Gordon hasn’t hoisted a trophy in a while. I’ll take another chance on him at nice online odds.

3. Greg Biffle – – online betting odds + 1000 – – Biff has been very good in the Chase this year. He could do well in this race and leapfrog to number two in the standings. That’s the case. Or, he could find himself struggling to get anything done. Either way, he’s worth a shot at double-digit online odds.

4. Tony Stewart – – online betting odds + 800 – – Stewart has had some nice runs in the Chase this season and even though he won’t get close to Jimmie, he’s given us online sportsbook fans a chance to see what might transpire next year. I like Tony to do well in this.

5. Carl Edwards – – online betting odds + 400 – – Edwards has gotten close enough to Jimmie to put a scare into team Hendrick, but his online odds are just too low for me to make an online bet on him in this race. He should drive well, but at the same odds, I’ll take Jimmie.

6. Jeff Burton – – online betting odds + 1500 – – Burton is worth a shot at 15 to 1 because he presents a huge overlay. He too has done well during the Cup Chase but he doesn’t have the cars necessary to challenge a guy like Jimmie Johnson. I like Burton to put in a nice run but then lose it at the end.
