Johnson, Stewart co-favorites at Brickyard
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series comes out of its final ?bye week? of the season with one of its biggest races, the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard, at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
betED.com has two drivers as dual favorites for the prestigious race: Jimmie Johnson and current Sprint Cup Series standings leader Tony Stewart.
Both are at +450 in Auto Racing Betting Odds.
Jeff Gordon, who sits in second place in the standings, is at +700, followed by Carl Edwards at +750 and Kyle Busch and Mark Martin both at +800.
This will be the 16th time the series has run at IMS, which is celebrating its centennial anniversary this year.
Jimmie Johnson went on to win for the second time at the Brickyard in 2008 after picking up his first win there in 2006.
Stewart also is a two-time winner at Indianapolis, alternating wins in the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard with Johnson in 2005 and '07.
Stewart holds a 175-point lead over Gordon, who has four wins at Indianapolis, including the inaugural race in 1994. Gordon is tied with A. J. Foyt, Al Unser and Rick Mears for second on the track's all-time win list.
Edwards, who is sixth in points, will be looking to break out of a season-long slump. He has yet to win a race this year after a series-high nine victories last season.
Fan favorite Dale Earnhardt Jr., who is far back in Allstate 400 at the Brickyard Odds at +2800, is also seeking his first victory of the season.
There are seven races before the "Chase for the Sprint Cup" championship begins in September.
