NASCAR Betting Odds & Results - Orbitz 300
by Eric Williams
The Orbitz 300 is the premier event in the NASCAR Busch Series and will feature drivers such as two-time defending Orbitz 300 champion Tony Stewart, 2006 NASCAR Busch Series champion Kevin Harvick, 2004 Daytona 500 winner Dale Earnhardt Jr., Carl Edwards and Kyle Busch in the 120-lap, 300-mile event.
Here are the odds on each matchup as well as a comment about of the favorites.
Orbitz 300 Saturday, 2/17/2007 12:00 EST
Making this pick is like having a wisdom tooth pulled, but I'm going to go with Stewart here for the simple fact that the man wants to win every race he enters while Johnson may hold something back for Sunday's 500. Go with Stewart and the - 200.
Take Gordon here. I'm sure he's furious at being moved to the 42 spot for the Daytona 500 after being penalized following Thursday's qualifying race. Gordon -150 is the way to go.
Both of these giys are absolutely fine drivers. Earnhardt's been running very fast lately so stick with Junior here. Earnhardt -140.
Ryan Newman is a very good driver but Matt Kenseth can drive circles around him every day of the week. Kenseth -180.
This difference between these two drivers is almost non-existent, making this choice pretty tough. Like Earnhardt, Mears has been running very fast lately and should cover here. Mears -120.
Kyle Bush is the favorite here but it is Hamlin that has been driving better. Go with Hamlin and the -115 and you won't go wrong.
Greg Biffle +135 (W)
Tough call here as well, but Biffle should prevail even as the underdog. Biffle +135 is the call.
Truex Jr. over Kasey Khane - I don't think so. Take Kahne +125 to cover.
Gilliland is driving like a man possessed and one that should challenge in both, the Daytona 500 - and this race as well. Take Gilliland at -145 for the easy money here.
I'm going with Gordon here. Since he may stand no chance to win the Daytona 500, I say he wins this race instead - with Stewart taking second or third. Gordon -180
Kenseth is good, but not good enough to beat Johnson - unless he holds back for Sunday's 500. Take Johnson here anyway.
Earnhardt is driving like he wants to win the Daytona 500. Why not win this one as well? Take Junior to cover here.
Overall Results: 6-5-1
