NASCAR betting returns to its whiskey run roots with a road race at Watkins Glen on Sunday with the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips odds at the Glen with a starting time of 1:00pm EST and a will be broadcast live on ESPN. A name normally not at the top of online sportsbooks for NASCAR odds is the opening betting favorite for the road course as Marcos Ambrose was a 4-1 choice. A more familiar choice, Tony Stewart, who is the ultimate racer’s racer opened at 11-4. Jeff Gordon is another solid road course expert and a 8-1 favorite in NASCAR betting while former Formula One ace Juan Montoya 5-1, Kyle Busch 12-1 and Jimmie Johnson 12-1 rounded out the top opening favorites.
Ambrose will be in the Little Debbie Toyota and is a legitimately dangerous threat in Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips odds as he has an average finish of 2.5 at The Glen and has 4 career top 10 finishes at road courses. He finished 2nd at The Glen last year. He finished 6th in this year’s previous road race at Sonoma. Stewart ranks 8th in the Sprint Cup chase and is also a Watkins Glen ace with an average finish of 5.3 and 5 wins. He has an average finish of 7.3 in his career at road courses.
The remarkably consistent Gordon is 2nd in the Sprint Cup standings and has 4 career wins at The Glen with an average finish of 15. He has 9 total road course wins with an average finish of 11.9. Montoya has 1 road course win and an average finish of 10.3. Busch has 1 win at Watkins Glen and 2 career road course wins with a career average on the road of 15.9. Johnson has been steady but unspectacular at road courses with 1 win and an average finish of 14.4.
