Red-hot Carl Edwards will be looking to take yet another checkered flag when the Sprint Cup Series hits Auto Club Speedway on Sunday.  Here’s your Daily Sports Roundup \u2026<\/o:P><\/p>\n

Event of the day . . .<\/strong><\/o:P><\/p>\n

Edwards got past Kyle Busch late in the race last Saturday night to visit victory lane in the Sharpie 500 at Bristol<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY>, and he’ll be looking for a similar result on Sunday when he battles his bitter rival once again in the Pepsi 500 at Fontana<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY>‘s Auto Club Speedway.<\/o:P><\/p>\n

Edwards, who has won the series’ last two events, is pegged as the 5\/1 Vegas favorite to win the Pepsi 500 on Sunday, while standings leader Busch is just behind him on that list at 6\/1. Jimmie Johnson (7\/1), Tony Stewart (8\/1), and Dale Earnhardt<\/span> Jr. (8\/1) follow those odds leaders, with each of Denny Hamlin, Greg Biffle<\/span>, and Jeff Gordon at 12\/1.<\/o:P><\/p>\n

Clint Bowyer is currently holding down the 12th<\/sup> and final spot in the Chase standings; he’s pegged at 35\/1 odds to win the Pepsi 500. David Ragan, who is 12 points back of Bowyer for that coveted 12th<\/sup> position, is better regarded by the oddsmakers right now – he’s at 25\/1 odds. The Chase gets underway at New Hampshire<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:STATE> on September 14.<\/p>\n
