NASCAR Sprint Cup: Jimmie Johnson is the Favorite to Win the Subway Fresh Fit 600

Jimmie Johnson, who has won 3 out of the last 5 Sprint Cup Races, is the favorite at +400 in the NASCAR sportsbook to win the Subway Fresh Fit 600.

The Subway Fresh Fit 600 is the first of 2 NASCAR races at Phoenix International Raceway. Because the race starts at 7:30 pm EST, the hope is that the notoriously hot Phoenix weather doesn’t have a disastrous affect on the racecars and race drivers.

In any case, the Subway Fresh Fit 600 is a terrific wagering race. When the favorite’s name is Jimmie Johnson and the odds on him to win are 4 to 1, sports gamblers don’t have to look too far for value.

NASCAR: Subway Fresh Fit 600 To Win

** Odds listed in NASCAR sportsbook

When: 4/10/2010 at 7:30 pm EST

Where: Phoenix International Raceway, Phoenix, Arizona

Best Bet A: Jimmie Johnson +400

JJ is the best bet in the sportsbook to win the Subway Fresh Fit 600. Yes, he’s the favorite but besides having won 3 out of the last 5 Sprint Cup Races, JJ has an excellent record at PIR. He’s won 4 times with 8 Top 5 and 3 other Top 10 finishes. His average finish at PIR is 5.1. Johnson isn’t the favorite by default. I’m surprised that sports gamblers are getting such kind odds on JJ. He should win the Subway Fresh Fit 400 and because he’s done so well at Phoenix International Raceway, is a fantastic wager at +400.

Best Bet B: Mark Martin +700

Martin has had the greatest of seasons with only 2 Top 5 finishes in 6 races so far in 2010. His average finish this year is 18th. Those aren’t good numbers but there’s no doubt that Martin could really step it up in Phoenix this Saturday. Mark has an excellent record at Phoenix with 2 victories, 11 top 5 and 6 other Top 10 finishes. If Martin is going to start turning it on, and there’s no reason why he shouldn’t, then this is going to be the race where he does it. Martin can win this.

Best +1000 to +2000 Wager: Carl Edwards +1500

Edwards has had great success on the intermediate track at PIR but not so on the real track. That’s okay. His 4 Top 5 finishes and 3 other Top 10 finishes at PIR for an average finish of 13.3 means that he has had some success at PIR and could be in line for his first victory on the Phoenix track. Edwards is a solid wager in my opinion and should be going off closer to 10 to 12 to 1 instead of the 15 to 1 in the sportsbook.

Best Underdog Bet: Dale Earnhardt Jr. +2500

Trust me, I never, ever really want to bet Dale Jr. in any race, but it’s hard to look past him at the odds because, well, he’s actually done okay at PIR. Dale has 2 victories 2 Top 5 and 2 other Top 10 finishes. Dale Jr. could really surprise. One thing to note is that the love fest that gamblers have had for Jr. since his pops passed away all those years ago is starting to wane. The odds are very high on Jr. to win this. Higher than I think I’ve ever seen them before.
