2010 Brickyard 400 Odds: Johnson NASCAR Betting Favorite

The annual trek to Indianapolis Motor Speedway for 2010 Brickyard 400 odds is one of the most eagerly anticipated of all the NASCAR betting races each year. What began as an experiment has turned into a rite of summer and there isn’t a diver in the field that would love to take the checkers at Indy. Jimmie Johnson has opened at online sportsbooks as a +225 favorite to win in Brickyard 400 odds for the 4th time in his career. Johnson is 3rd in the Sprint Cup standings for this season with 5 wins and 11 top ten finishes. Hometown hero Tony Stewart is the next NASCAR betting choice at sportsbooks with a price of +800 for Sunday's race that can be seen on ESPN at 1:00pm EST.

Stewart is 9th in the Sprint Cup standings and is yet to win a race this year. He has taken the checkers at Indy twice and has an impressive average finish of 8.5. Anytime the Brickyard 400 is mentioned the name Jeff Gordon comes to mind. Johnson’s teammate is 2nd in the Sprint Cup standings and has been remarkably consistent with 11 top 10 finishes although he is yet to win. Gordon has 4 career wins at the Brickyard and an average finish of 8.6. This would be the week to think that the Dupont Chevy team kisses the bricks and Gordon could be a good value at sportsbooks at +900.
