Brickyard 400 - 2010
Current Odds and Analysis
The most attended event in NASCAR is this Sunday's Brickyard 400 at famed
Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It was first held in 1994 and marked the first time
since 1916 that a race other than the Indy 500 was held at the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway, also known as "The Brickyard".
Last year Jimmie Johnson won the race but it was Juan Pablo Montoya who dominated and led 116 laps before being penalized with 35 laps to go for speeding in the pits. This year Montoya is liated at odds of 8/1 which does present some value. Johnson meanwhile, is favored at odds of 7/2.
He's won at Indianapolis the last two years and three times overall.
As always, you are not just limited to picking the winner of the race when betting on the Brickyard 400. Driver vs Driver matchups are always where the real value lies when betting on NASCAR. Sharp NASCAR bettors have been outsmarting the books for years. Do your homework and you can gain an advantage when betting driver vs driver matchups.

Indianapolis, the last one coming in 2004.

Season title odds heating up
Johnson (2/1) is the season leader as he looks for his unprecedented fifth
straight title. Hamlin (9/2) has five wins this year, tied for the most with
Johnson.
Kyle Busch (9/2) could be ready to break through with his first win. He was left
out of The Chase last year, but has always had the talent. Kyle's bother Kurt
won the championship back in 2004.
Gordon is second in points even though he's been shut out in wins. He's the
four-time season champion, most recently in 2001. Kevin Harvick (9/1) is the
season leader in points as he has the most top-10 finishes (13).

(in 2005). Earnhardt Jr is once again making himself relevant. He's 13th in the
standings (one spot out of The Chase). Oddsmakers have him pegged at 35/1.
