Looking at the Twins vs<\/span> Yankees odds<\/a>, it’s easy to see to the heavy hitters are. In NASCAR, it’s the same as we head to the Pepsi 500 at Auto Club Speedway in <\/span><\/font>Fontana<\/st1:City>, California<\/st1:State><\/st1:place> as Jimmie Johnson, a California<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> native, as dominated the fall race on the West Coast. Who else should you watch in the fourth race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup?<\/o:p><\/p>\n

California<\/span><\/font><\/b><\/st1:place><\/st1:State> Odds – Sunday, October 11, <\/span><\/b>3:15 PM ET<\/span><\/b><\/st1:time><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Jimmie Johnson (+350)<\/span><\/font><\/b> – The No.48 driver has three wins in his home state, including the last two fall races. He led 228 laps last year, became the first driver to win from the pole at California<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>, and he came in ninth in the spring race that was won by Matt Kenseth<\/span> earlier this year. After last week’s slip-up that possibly cost Johnson a win, instead settling for ninth at <\/span>Kansas<\/span><\/st1:place><\/st1:State>, look for the No.48 Chevy to be on the prowl this week.<\/span> <\/o:p><\/p>\n

Jeff Gordon (+500)<\/span><\/font><\/b> – Gordon, also a California boy, is one of three drivers with Johnson and Kenseth<\/span> with three wins on the West Coast, and his second-place finish to Kenseth<\/span> in the spring race was his ninth top-five in 18 trips to California. His 10.9 average is fifth among active drivers, and he may have sparked his Chase chances in your sports book<\/a> with a runner-up finish to Tony Stewart at Kansas<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> last week. <\/o:p><\/p>\n

Mark Martin (+500)<\/span><\/font><\/b> – The points leader has an 18-point lead over Hendrick<\/span> teammate Johnson after a seventh-place run at Kansas, and he won this race back in 1998. Martin has seven top-10s in 16 California<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> races, but he suffered an engine failure in the spring. <\/o:p><\/p>\n

Greg Biffle<\/span> (+800)<\/span><\/font><\/b> – The No.16 driver has a victory at California<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>, taking the spring race in 2005, and he finished fourth here in the spring. Biffle<\/span> had the dominant car at Kansas<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>, leading 113 laps, and it seemed to work better on two tires than on four. Biffle<\/span> is Roush-Fenway’s<\/span> best title hope, and we’re betting management<\/a> at RFR<\/span> thinks the same. <\/o:p><\/p>\n

Juan Pablo Montoya (+1000)<\/span><\/font><\/b> – This is the driver to watch throughout the Chase: Montoya said that they’d race for wins once they got to this point, and he has three top-fives in a row. Once he gets a win on an oval under his belt, there’s no telling how good this team can be.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Sports Picks<\/a> – He has the best starting average, and the best finishing average at <\/span><\/font>California<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>. Until further notice, Jimmie Johnson is the king at Auto Club Speedway. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
