Dale Earnhardt Jr. Odds to win Auto Club 500: Dale Earnhardt Jr. will look to carry the momentum from his strong Daytona 500 finish to California as he will get behind the wheel for today's Auto Club 500 in Fontana. The race is scheduled to begin at 3:00pm ET at the two mile Auto Club Speedway; it will be broadcast live on FOX. Sportsbook.com's Dale Earnhardt Jr. Odds to win Auto Club 500 have the No. 88 car listed at +2500 moneyline odds to be the first to take the checkered flag. 

Dale Earnhardt Jr. looked to have a decent Daytona finish in hand last weekend, but he was able to manufacture a great Dale Earnhardt Jr. Odds to win Auto Club 500conclusion with just two laps left in the race, going all the way from tenth to second. Junior, who led four laps after starting in the two hole, welcomed the result, especially after last year's horrific season. He is hoping the good start can carry him through Fontana and Vegas, two places he has historically not performed well at.

Last season, Earnhardt Jr. produced a 39th and a 25th place finish in two runs the Auto Club Speedway. The lackluster results reduced his average finish at the track to a less than commendable 22.1. In 16 career runs at the facility, Earnhardt Jr. has no wins and just three top five (18.8 percent) and four top 10 finishes (25 percent).

Despite those relatively poor numbers, Earnhardt has little better feeling about today's race.

"I don't like going out west, but it's much easier after you run good somewhere else," he said.

Earnhardt will start this afternoon's race from the 28 spot, on the 14th row next to Juan Pablo Montoya.
