The 93rd Indianapolis 500 on Sunday at 1:00pm EST on ABC could be one of the most competitive ones in recent years.

There are eight drivers that have Indy 500 odds of 10-1 or less led by the polesitter Helio Castroneves who is 3-1.

In seven of the last eight years one of three teams (Penske, Ganassi or Andretti) has won in Indy 500 odds.

The Indianapolis 500 has to start with Team Penske. They have won the race 14 times since 1972 and they have two drivers in the top two spots in Castroneves and Ryan Briscoe.

All eyes will be on Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte for Sunday’s 50th running of the Coca Cola 600 at 5:00pm EST on FOX with many drivers listed at 10-1or less in NASCAR odds.

That doesn’t necessarily mean one of those drivers will win but that is where your NASCAR handicapping must start for this weekend's race. Bodog sportsbook has Jimmy Johnson as the favorite in Coca Cola 600 odds at 4/1.

Johnson has won 5 times, second to Darrell Waltrip and Bobby Allison who hold the all-time record with six.

"I do like the 600-mile race from a history standpoint," Johnson said. "And I also like the challenge, to work on the car all night long. Start in the day, go to the night, the longer race, all the aspects that come with it."

NASCAR betting will be exciting and unpredictable this weekend as the series goes to Talladega for Aaron’s 499 odds on Sunday at 1:00pm EST on FOX.

Restrictor plate racing is always close, wreck filled and sometimes tough to figure out. Luck plays a major role in who wins at these types of tracks.

Last fall at Talladega, Tony Stewart was able to avoid the wrecks and win the race. Last spring it was Kyle Busch surviving the wrecks that claimed his brother Kurt, Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth and Tony Stewart to win.

Picking a driver this week in NASCAR odds is a real crapshoot but there are some drivers that seem to have more luck than others in restrictor plate racing.

NASCAR gets back into action after a week off as the series moves to Bristol Motor Speedway for Food City 500 odds on Sunday.

Carl Edwards +450, Jeff Gordon +600 and Kyle Busch +500 are the three favorites in NASCAR odds for this race that can be seen on FOX television at 1:30pm EST.

The defending Food City 500 odds champion is Jeff Gordon while Carl Edwards won the last race in August. The pole is a great place to be at Bristol as 22 races have been won from the first starting spot.

Jeff Gordon and Kurt Busch +700 are tied for the most wins at Bristol among active drivers with five wins each.

Kyle Busch will look to defend his title as NASCAR moves to Atlanta this week for Kobalt Tools 500 odds. Busch is one of the favorites in NASCAR odds along with Jimmie Johnson and Carl Edwards.

Busch, Edwards and Johnson are about 5-1 in Kobalt Tools 500 odds as co-favorites with Jeff Gordon the fourth NASCAR betting choice at about 4-1.

Last year in Atlanta, Kyle Busch won the race while Tony Stewart finished second. Jeff Gordon was the pole winner. There has been a different winner in Atlanta in every spring race this decade.

Last year Kyle Busch led for 173 laps while Dale Earnhardt Jr. who is 15-1 in Kobalt Tools 500 odds led for 62 laps.
