NASCAR Auto Racing: Odds to Win the Tums Fast Relief 500

Carl Edwards remains the leader in the Chase for the Sprint Cup with only four stops remaining on the NASCAR betting circuit before the champion driver is crowned for 2011. But Carl Edwards and his #99 Ford is well down the list of betting favorites at 16/1 odds to win the Tums Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway this Sunday afternoon (1:30 pm Eastern, ESPN).
Coming off a mediocre 11th-place finish last week in the Good Sam Club 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, Edwards nonetheless sits 14 points ahead of second-place Matt Kenseth heading to the “Pretty Paperclip” oval track in Ridgeway, Virginia. Kenseth, who finished in 18th place last week at Talladega, is even further behind Edwards on the odds board at 30/1 to visit Victory Lane this weekend.
Neither Edwards nor Kenseth have previously managed to win a Sprint Cup race held at Martinsville, unlike fellow competitors Jimmie Johnson, Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick. Johnson, who is trying to remain in the hunt for his sixth consecutive Sprint Cup title but is a distant 50 points behind Edwards in seventh place, has won a half-dozen races on this track and is listed as the 6/1 chalk to win again on Sunday.
Harvick, who sits in fifth place a mere 26 points behind Edwards, won the Goody’s Fast Relief 500 held at Martinsville in April, while Hamlin has four career victories at Martinsville including three consecutive Sprint Cup wins in 12 months between October 2009 and 2010. Harvick and Hamlin are right behind Johnson at 13/2 odds to register the victory on Sunday.
Jeff Gordon (with seven wins at Martinsville) and Tony Stewart (with two) are both at 15/2 odds to win the Tums Fast Relief 500, with Stewart sitting 19 points behind Edwards in fourth place in the driver standings. Brad Keselowski, one point ahead of Stewart in third place, is well back at 18/1 odds to take the checkered flag on Sunday.
