To Win
Most successfully Wager Jeff Gordon +700
Is Gordo the only herself standing in Jimmie’s way for another championship? Maybe. Jeff hasn’t won a race yet in 2010 but he did culminate end up in the Top 10 up to date week at Dover and his average finish of 8.9 at Kansas means that he should procure a whirl for another victory on Sunday. Gordo’s won twice at Kansas during his rush Is it a stretch to believe he could win a third on Oct. 3rd?
Second Best Venture Denny Hamlin +1200
Denny finished in the Top 5 for the duration of the first term at Kansas in his career in 2009. He crossed the finish line in 5th and that should give the Sprint Cup Standings chairwoman a bit of confidence going into this Sunday’s race. Hamlin saw what JJ can do when he and his crew are clicking on all cylinders. Just because Johnson hasn’t been as terrific during the 2010 flavour as he had been during the 2009 season leading up to the Chase, it doesn’t mean that they’re not going to give it their best in 2010. Denny and Joe Gibbs Racing know this. They’re prevalent to pull out all of the stops this Sunday to get Hamlin that much needed victory. At the NASCAR odds, Denny is a serious overlay to win the Price Chopper 400.
Worst Underdog Wager: Kasey Kahne +3000
I struggled to find a lengthy shot value betting to win this week’s Follow race. I for ever settled on Kasey. Why? Because out of all of the gigantic underdogs to win on Sunday, those drivers going remote at +2000 odds or higher, Kasey is the one with the best shot in my mind. Kahne has finished in the Top 10 in 2 out of the last 3 races at Kansas Speedway. It’s not a reach for me to envision KK upsetting everybody’s apple cart and taking home the trophy this Sunday.
Others to Consider
Jimmie Johnson +300 – – He finished 9th at the Price Chopper 400 in 2009 but has a victory over the track and he clearly sent a message last week at Dover.
Greg Biffle +1000 – - His average finish of 9.0 at Kansas should gourmandize return him right there towards the conclude He also has a victory over the track and the NASCAR betting odds are decent.
Carl Edwards +1000 – – Carl’s finished 10th or better in 4 out of the pattern 5 races at Kansas Speedway. That includes a 2nd place finish in 2008. He’s obviously got a shot to win on Sunday.
