NASCAR Betting Odds: The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series arrived in Loudon, New Hampshire this week for the Lenox Industrial Tools 301. The New Hampshire Motor Speedway will host the 300 lap race today at 1:30pm ET. The event will be broadcast live on TNT. Online bookmaker Bodog.com has installed defending Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson as an 11 to 2 favorite in their NASCAR Lenox Industrial Tools 301 Betting Odds.

Jimmie Johnson will continue his quest for a fourth consecutive Cup title today at a track he has had more than his share of success on. The California native, who is currently third in the points standings with a total of 2207, has two wins, three top fives, and nine top ten finishes in 14 career races at New Hampshire. In last year's June race at the facility, Johnson took ninth place after starting 23rd. He finished second in the September race there and led 96 laps.

Johnson, who took fourth place in Sonoma last weekend, has two wins this season to go along with seven top fives and 10 top ten results.

Following Johnson in the odds race are 28 year old Denny Hamlin and current points leader, Tony Stewart (both listed at 8 to 1). Hamlin, who has raced at New Hampshire just six times, has already found a grove on the speedway. The Toyota driver has one win there as well as five top 10 finishes. He took eighth and ninth in the two races at the track last year. 

Hamlin, who is seventh in points with 2009, finished fifth in California last week and third three weekends ago at Michigan.

Tony Stewart comes into today's race absolutely on fire. The former Cup champion, who has the points lead with a tally of 2364 (84 points ahead of Jeff Gordon), finished second last week at Infineon to give him his fifth top two finish in the last eight races. The results in the other three events were a more than respectable 3rd, 19th, and 7th.

Stewart has also experienced great success at New Hampshire. Last year he finished 13th and 2nd in the two races at the speedway, and in 20 career races there he has two wins, 10 top fives, and 12 top tens.
