NASCAR odds<\/span><\/a> for this weekend’s All-State 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway sees<\/span> a familiar trio atop the list of favorites in your sportsbook<\/a>. This trio has won eight of the 15 NASCAR races held at the Brickyard, and it would be to no one’s surprise if they ended up in <\/span><\/font>Victory Lane<\/st1:address><\/st1:Street>.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

NASCAR Betting – Sunday, July 26, <\/span><\/font><\/b>2:00 PM ET<\/span><\/b><\/st1:time><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Johnson is the favorite at +500 after winning last year at the Brickyard, but that gets an asterik<\/span> since they weren’t able to run more than 10 laps without the tires coming apart. Still, this place is hit and miss<\/span> for the No.48 driver who has five top-10s in his last six races, as he has three DNFs<\/span> to go with his pair of victories from 2006 and 2008.<\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Tony Stewart has won his hometown race twice in 2005 and 2007, and his 9.1 average in nine Brickyard races is third among active drivers. The points leader is rated at +600 according to betting services<\/a>, and his last seven starts, Stewart has finished outside the top 5 once, a seventh-place run at Michigan. No one wants to win at Indy more than Stewart, who has also run the Indy 500 on a number of occasions, so looko<\/span> for “Smoke” to run up front this Sunday.<\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

However, neither of these drivers can hold a candle to Jeff Gordon, who has odds of +750 and has three runner-up finishes in his last five races. The No.24 driver has won the Brickyard 400 four times, and his 8.6 average in 15 races here is the best among current drivers. His team has been close lately, and the Brickyard seems like a perfect place for him to get his second win of the year.<\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

If you’re looking for someone who could crack this trio, look no further than Kyle Busch at +850,<\/span> and the No.18 driver desperately needs a good finish. His starting average over the last eight races: 5.1, including three second-place qualifying efforts and all inside the top 10. His finishing average over that same time: 17.5, including two top-10s. Busch is just inside the cut-off line for the Chase, and he’s got three top-10s in four trips to Indy. He’s got his back against the wall, and with his talent, he’s worth one of your sports picks<\/a> this weekend.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
