Oddsmakers at online sportsbook SBG Global have installed Stewart as a favorite (+600) but not the most favorite. That honor belongs to teammate Denny Hamlin, driver of the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 11 FedEx Chevrolet installed with a +400 chalk to win the Pocono race. In his first year as a full time driver in 2006, Hamlin won both Pocono events making history as the first rookie driver to win both races at the same track in the same year. Just to show how dominating Hamlin was at Pocono as a rookie; not only did he win both races but he captured both starting poles. Hamlin finished strong (6th) at Pocono. Hamlin now has a win under his belt from last months win at New Hampshire and is second in Nextel Cup points. Other favorites expected to make a strong run at Pocono are are Jeff Gordon (+450) and Jimmie Johnson (+700), both of Hendrick Motorsports.
