NASCAR Betting Odds - Las Vegas Betting Picks & Predictions - Jimmie Johnson is as good a
NASCAR betting pick as you can think of, as the four-time champion tends to do outrageous things on almost a weekly basis, with skill and luck.
Las Vegas Motor Speedway is the perfect place for Johnson to roll the dice this Sunday in the Shelby American, but he’ll have to fend off the trio of drivers from a rejuvenated
Richard Childress Racing.
NASCAR Las Vegas Odds – Sunday, February 28. 2:00 PM ET
Vegas Odds Johnson (+350) just beat the yellow flag into the pits last week at California, and if he hadn’t, the No.48 driver would have gone down a lap. But you have to be good to be luck, and lucky to be good, and Johnson came out with the race lead, holding off Kevin Harvick and Jeff Burton. Johnson is no stranger to Victory Lane in Las Vegas, as he won three straight races from 2005 to 2007, and he would have probably picked up win No.4 here if he hadn’t hit the wall in the closing laps. He’ll also have to contend with Hendrick teammate NASCAR Betting Odds Mark Martin (+700), who won the first race here in 1998, and has nine top-10s in 12 races in Vegas. He’ll be out to avenge last year’s engine failure.
Glen McNeil NASCAR Picks The Hendrick boys will have to watch out for Harvick (+1200), Burton (+1500) and Clint Bowyer (+1500), and RCR is hungry to prove that last year’s awful season was a fluke. All three drivers finished in the top eight at California, and they’re returning to a track where all three finished in the top 12 in 2009. Burton’s 9.8 finishing average here is the best among current drivers, and he won back-to-back here in 1999 and 2000. Burton is the most consistent of the three, so he’s the most likely to find to Victory Lane this week.
NASCAR Predictions Don’t forget about Joe Gibbs Racing, home of defending champion Kyle Busch (+700) and Joey Logano (+2500). Busch won his hometown race from the pole last year, but he had to go through the field as an engine change sent him to the back of the pack at the beginning of the race. Logano finished 13th in his first Las Vegas race last year, and that was as a rookie who had no idea what he was doing. You can see the confidence in Logano after a year’s experience, and it’s only a matter of time before he’s a favorite of bookmakers (bookmaker reviews).
Your best bet here is the consistent Burton, even though he hasn’t won since October 2008, a span of 43 races. Burton has looked great over the first two races of the year, and he has a great track record here, which is why I would place an internet bet with him.
