NASCAR: 2010 Carfax 400 Betting Odds Favor Johnson

The Michigan International Speedway will host 2010 Carfax 400 odds on Sunday at 1:00pm EST on ESPN with Jimmie Johnson +300 as the NASCAR betting favorite at online sportsbooks to win the 2 mile D shaped oval that is one of the fastest on the circuit. Johnson is gunning for his fifth consecutive Sprint Cup championship and is currently 5th in the standings. Johnson is tied with Denny Hamlin for the most wins in the series this far at 5. In his remarkable career, Michigan has been one of the few tracks that has eluded Johnson as he has never won there in NASCAR betting odds and has an average finish of 15.4.

Hamlin is a longshot choice in Carfax 400 odds at online sportsbooks with a +1200 price. He is 6th in the Sprint Cup standings and has 1 win at Michigan with an average finish of 12th. The Busch Brothers, Kyle and Kurt are both +1500 choices in NASCAR betting odds to win at Michigan. Kurt Busch is 4th in the Sprint Cup standings and has 2 career wins at Michigan with an average finish of 19th in a feast or famine type of career record at the track. Kyle Busch is 7th in the Sprint Cup standings and has struggled at Michigan with an average finish of 17th and 0 wins.

The remarkably consistent Jeff Gordon +1500 is also a longshot at online sportsbooks in odds to win at Michigan. Gordon has climbed to 2nd in the Sprint Cup standings despite having 0 wins this year. Gordon has been just as consistent at Michigan with 2 career wins and an average finish of 11th. There are a total of 6 drivers with betting value for the 2010 Carfax 400 with Kasey Kahne +700, Jeff Burton +1200, Kevin Harvick +1200, Tony Stewart +700, Greg Biffle +600 and Carl Edwards +800 making up the list.
