2007 Save Mart 500 Odds

Written by Jimmy Boyd

The Nextel Cup teams will be using their Car of Tomorrow this weekend at the Infindeon Raceway in Sonoma, California when they try to beat the 2007 Toyota Save-Mart 350 Odds. The king of this track has been Jeff Gordon and he’s slated in at 2:1 odds early on. He won three straight times at this track in 1998-2000 and won two times in the last three years. Last year he started off in eleventh place, but came from behind to win.

In 2000 and 2005 Gordon won the pole but ended up losing the race to Tony Stewart. Ricky Rudd brings a win in this race to the table as he stole the pole from Stewart in 2005 when he came back from the seventh position to capture the checkered flag. Rudd is struggling this season with his only top-ten finish coming in the Coca-Cola 600.

Hendrick’s Motorsports has won five of the six races using the Car of Tomorrow this season, so look for Gordon to finish near the top of this race as well. He has four wins and ten top-five finishes already in 2007 and his average finish has been 6.6. Jimmie Johnson is another Hendrick’s guy to monitor as he has four wins and eight top-five finishes, averaging a 12.6 finish.

To round out the top-ten after Gordon from 2006 there was Ryan Newman, Terry Labonte, Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards, Jeff Burton, Elliot Sadler, Boris Said, and Jimmy Johnson. Back in 2005 near the top were Ricky Rudd, Kurt Busch, Rusty Wallace, Dale Jarrett, Elliott Sadler, and Jeremy Mayfield. As you can see Elliot Sadler and Kurt Busch have both ran this track nicely the past two years and are worth taking a look at.

Tony Stewart +500
Juan Montoya +450
Robby Gordon +950
