Group Betting
Group A: Denny Hamlin +200, Jeff Gordon +325, Jimmie Johnson +150, Kurt Busch +350, Kyle Busch +300
Analysis: So…where’s my dart to throw? Denny Hamlin and Jimmie are obvious pick as they’ve dominated the Sprint Cup Circuit in 2010. Kyle always has a shot in every race, every week.
Kurt, even though he’s never had success at Chicagoland, has a shot as well, but my money will be on Gordo for the simple fact that he’s been driving brilliantly in 2010 but still hasn’t picked up a victory.
The man has 9 Top 5 finishes on the year. I think he does enough to beat at least this group of drivers on Saturday night.
Pick: Jeff Gordon +325
Group B: Clint Bowyer +325, Jeff Burton +200, Kasey Kahne +250, Kevin Harvick +200, Tony Stewart +325
Analysis: This is not as easy of a group in which to find the winner as it seems at first.
Yes, Burton and Harvick deserve to be favorites in this group. In particular, Harvick deserves to be a big favorite because he won last week’s race and he always shows up at Chicagoland, but Kahne has a nice history at Chicagoland as well and so does Tony Stewart who looks like the best pick in this group to me.
Tony had a terrible race at Daytona last week, but this week he might be the guy to back because he was getting hot before the Daytona race. Tony has good history at Chicagoland with 2 victories and 7 total Top 5 finishes. He’s the pick at the NASCAR odds.
Pick: Tony Stewart +325
Group 3: Carl Edwards +250, Greg Biffle +250, Joey Logano +300, Juan Pablo Montoya +250, Matt Kenseth +250
Analysis: Edwards’ average finish at Chicagoland is 21st place. Biffle’s average finish at Chicagoland is 15.4 Logano’s average finish at Chicagoland is 18. Juan Pablo Montoya’s average finish at Chicagoland is 14.3 and Kenseth’s average finish at Chicagoland is 11.2.
Based on the average finish at Chicagoland, Kenseth is the bet, right? I mean, all 5 of these guys are going off at the same NASCAR odds and it’s not like Matt’s had a horrible year or anything.
Pick: Matt Kenseth +250
