NASCAR Betting Odds: The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series has reached the 19th race of the season, which is scheduled to take place this Saturday, July 11th at 7:30pm ET. Chicagoland Speedway will host the Lifelock.com 400, a 267 lap event that will be televised live on TNT. NASCAR oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com have provided racing fans with a wagering opportunity as they have paired two former Cup champions in their NASCAR Lifelock.com 400 Betting Odds:Tony Stewart vs Jeff Gordon.

Tony Stewart, who is favored to finish ahead of Gordon at -135 moneyline odds, enters this weekend's race fresh off his second win of the season. Stewart got mixed up with Kyle Busch on the last lap of last week's Coke Zero 400, but managed to avoid disaster and be the first to take the checkered flag. The Indiana native led 86 laps of the Daytona hosted race.

Stewart increased his lead in the Cup standings by 180 points over the second place Gordon by securing his sixth top five finish in the last eight races. Through 18 races this year, Stewart has two wins, 10 top fives, and 14 top tens.

The 38 year old Stewart, who drives the No. 14 Old Spice Chevrolet, has had great success at Chicagoland in the past. He has raced there on eight occasions, winning twice and finishing inside the top five six times. 

Jeff Gordon maintained his second place position in the Cup standings despite finishing 28th in last weekend's Fourth of July spectacular at Daytona International Speedway. However, Gordon's teammate, Jimmie Johnson, closed to within 14 points of the four time champion after placing second to Stewart. The dismal finish snapped a streak of four straight top 10 finishes for Gordon.

The 37 year old Gordon should feel positive about a potential rebound at Chicagoland this Saturday. Like Stewart, Gordon has been more than solid on the 1.5 mile tri-oval, winning once there and finishing insdie the top five four times in eight races. 

Matchup Note: Stewart has finished ahead of Gordon in three of the last five races.

Qualifying for this weekend's race is scheduled to take place tonight at 8:30pm ET. Matchup odds are subject to change after the starting positions have been set.

NASCAR Betting Odds: The Sprint Cup Series is in the state of Illinois this week for the running of the Lifelock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway. The event is set to get underway at 7:30pm ET on Saturday, July 11th. The race will be broadcast live on TNT. Online bookmaker Sportsbook.com has paired defending champion Jimmie Johnson and young star Kyle Busch in their NASCAR Lifelock.com 400 Betting Odds. Johnson is favored to finish ahead of Busch at -145 on the moneyline.

Jimmie Johnson could easily be labeled Mr. Consistency and last week he, again, demonstrated why that would be an apt moniker as he took second place in the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona. The quality finish was the fifth top ten result for Johnson in his last six races and it was his eighth top five finish of the season.

Johnson, who has two wins this year in 18 races, is third in the cup standings with a total of 2525 points. He is 194 points behind Tony Stewart.

The California native does not have a win at Chicagoland Speedway, but he has still been impressive at the track. In seven career races at the facility he has garnered five top fives and six top tens. 

Kyle Busch looked to have the Coke Zero 400 wrapped up last weekend, but suffered a brutal wreck on the last lap after Tony Stewart bumped him in the rear quarter panel. The ensuing mayhem led to a Stewart win and left Busch with a 14th place finish. The stunning conclusion marked the fifth time in the last six races that the 24 year old Busch finished outside the top 10.

Busch should be excited to return to Chicagoland, not only to put last week behind him, but also to make a move in the cup standings. The Las Vegas product, who is currently eighth in points with a tally of 2234, has been amazing at the track in his previous four races there. Busch won at the facility last year after leading 165 laps and he has two top fives and two top tens at the venue. 

Qualifying for this weekend's race is scheduled to take place tonight at 8:30pm ET. Matchup odds are subject to change after the starting positions have been set. 

Jimmie Johnson Career Ratios:
Wins - 15 percent (42/273)
Top Fives - 40 percent (109/273)
Top Tens - 62 percent (162/273)

Kyle Busch Career Ratios:
Wins - 9 percent (15/168)
Top Fives - 30 percent (51/168)
Top Tens - 46 percent (78/168)

Dale Earnhardht Jr. will attempt to get past his 2009 struggles at a place he probably loves and loathes in equal portions. The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series has returned to Daytona International Speedway for the annual running of the Coke Zero 400. Junior, despite his troubles this year, is being listed as one the favorites to win today's race, coming in at 17/2 odds in Bodog.com's NASCAR Coke Zero 400 Betting Odds.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. has been more than a disappointment this season. The son of the "Intimidator" was expected to contend for a cup championship like his Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon are currently doing. Instead, the North Carolina native is languishing back at 19th in the standings with a total of 1764 points. Not only is he 760 points behind Tony Stewart, he is 286 points away from being in the Chase. However, there is still time for Junior to make a move, but he had better do it this weekend at Daytona.

Since Rick Hendrick decided to make a change at crew chief for the Earnhardt team, things have gradually started to get better. Earnhardt has finished inside the top 14 three times since placing 40th at the Coca-Cola 600 on May 25th, including a 13th place run last week in New Hampshire. He has a good opportunity to continue his improvement at Daytona, a place he has historically performed well at.

Even with his 27th place conclusion at the Daytona 500 in February, Earnhardt has produced an average finish of 14.6 in his last three races at the speedway. He ran eighth and ninth in the two races there last year and in 19 career outings at the track he has two wins, six top fives, and 11 top tens.

Earnhardt, whose last win came at Michigan in June of 2008, has 18 wins, 87 top fives, and 140 top tens in 344 career races. His ratios this season are far below his career totals as he has no wins, one top five, and three top tens in 17 races. However, his numbers at superspeedway tracks make him a contender today, regardless of what he has done this year. In 38 career outings at restrictor plate tracks, Junior has garnered seven wins, 14 top fives, and 22 top ten finishes.

Today's holiday race is set to get underway at 7:30pm ET. The event will be broadcast live on TNT.

NASCAR Coke Zero 400 Betting Odds: The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is in Daytona Beach, Florida this weekend for the Fourth of July running of the Coke Zero 400. The event will take place Saturday at 7:30pm ET and will be broadcast live on TNT. Four time cup champion Jeff Gordon is one of the favorites to win the race as he is presently listed at 8 to 1 in Bodog.com's Jeff Gordon NASCAR Coke Zero 400 Betting Odds.

Jeff Gordon is having another spectacular season for Hendrick Motorsports, carrying the points lead for a good majority of the early season. However, in recent weeks he has been unable to catch the red hot Tony Stewart in the standings. He, nonetheless, remains a close second to the former Joe Gibbs racer with a total of 2455 points, a tally 69 ticks short of the top spot.

Gordon edged a little bit closer to Stewart last week, finishing second at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon. The quality conclusion was the California native's fourth straight top ten showing and his second second place finish in the last three weeks. Gordon has driven the No. 24 DuPont Chevrolet to an average finish of 8.6 over the last five races. Through the first 17 races of the season, the man once known as the "Rainbow Warrior", has one win and nine top five results. 

Gordon is no stranger to Daytona International Speedway as he has raced at the track 33 times in his legendary career. The 37 year old driver, who now lives in Charlotte, N.C., has six wins, 11 top fives, and 17 top tens at Daytona. He had two miserable showings at the venue last season (39th and 30th), but finished 13th at the Daytona 500 in February.

For his career, Gordon has produced 82 wins and 256 top fives finishes in 562 races.
