2012 Lenox Industrial Tools 301 Odds, Free Picks and Predictions – Lenox Industrial Tools 301 Favorites and Sleepers to Win at New Hampshire Motor Speedway: NASCAR betting odds to win the 2012 Lenox Industrial Tools 301 this Sunday, July 15th at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, New Hampshire have been posted at all the major Las Vegas and best online sportsbooks with Jimmie Johnson having been installed as the 6/1 +600 favorite to win the 2012 Lenox Industrial Tools 301.
While the top flat track drivers in the Cup Series have had a leg up on the competition at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, the track has been known to allow for a surprise winner every now and then. Track position is critical thanks to the flat, tight turns, and if pit strategy shuffles up the running order, even the guys with the fastest cars can have trouble getting back to the front. Throw in the fact that rain always seems to play a factor at New Hampshire, and bettors can’t rule out an upset Sunday.
Last July, the Stewart-Haas Racing teammates of Ryan Newman and Tony Stewart put on a clinic. Newman qualified first, and Stewart joined him on the front row. After combining to lead 167 of the 301 laps, Newman and Stewart were still running first and second when the checkered flag flew. The SHR duo literally dominated from start to finish.
In the fall event, Newman again won the pole, but his teammate Tony Stewart started deeper in the field. However, Stewart made sure that SHR completed a season sweep at New Hampshire, charging to the front late in the race. He got a little help when Clint Bowyer ran out of fuel on the final lap, and Stewart took advantage of Bowyer’s misfortune to snatch away the win.
The Favorites – 2012 Lenox Industrial Tools 301 Odds, Predictions and Free Picks
He is on a roll entering this weekend’s race at New Hampshire, and Tony Stewart dominated the track last season. He finished second in the July event and won at New Hampshire in the fall. Stewart is a three-time winner at the track in his career, and after winning at Daytona last weekend, he has a good chance of making it back-to-back victories this Sunday.
Since joining the Cup Series full time in 2006, Denny Hamlin leads all drivers with a 9.0 average finish. He has finished in the top 15 in 11 of his 12 starts at the track, and he has finished in the top 10 eight times. Hamlin is also a former winner at New Hampshire, and he has finished third or better three times in his last five starts. He also happens to have the same crew chief that helped Tony Stewart to a pair of top-two finishes at the track last year.
The Dark Horses – 2012 Lenox Industrial Tools 301 Odds, Predictions and Free Picks
It has been a rough year for Jeff Gordon, and he needs to start winning some races to have a chance at making the Chase. Fortunately for the four-time champ, he has been excellent at New Hampshire lately. His 7.1 average finish in the last 10 races at the track is the best in the series, and he has finished second three times during the stretch. Gordon always seems to be in the mix for the win at New Hampshire, and there is no question he will be looking to win to keep his title hopes alive.
Defending race winner Ryan Newman has always been one of the most-underrated drivers at New Hampshire. He has finished eighth or better in four of his last five starts at the track, and for his career, he has three victories at “The Magic Mile.” Newman and his Stewart-Haas Racing teammate Tony Stewart swept the two races at New Hampshire last season, and he will try to make it three wins in a row for SHR this weekend.
Sleeper Specials – 2012 Lenox Industrial Tools 301 Odds, Predictions and Free Picks
In his last eight starts at New Hampshire, Kurt Busch has finished in the top 15 seven times. He has finished sixth or better five times during the stretch, winning at the track in 2008. Busch doesn’t have a great car now that he is driving for Phoenix Racing, but at one of his best tracks, he could still make a little noise.
Brian Vickers will be making his fourth start for Michael Waltrip Racing this weekend, and in two of his three previous starts, he has finished in the top five. Vickers also finished in the top five at New Hampshire last fall, making a strong run a real possibility even though he isn’t a full-time driver. Vickers has nothing to lose this weekend, and if he is in a position to challenge for the win, his team will gladly play the strategy game and gamble a bit. Bettors should consider doing the same.
Big Name to Avoid – 2012 Lenox Industrial Tools 301 Odds, Predictions and Free Picks
Even though he is leading the points entering this weekend’s race, Matt Kenseth is a shaky option for bettors. After all, he doesn’t have a single top-five finish in his last 10 starts at the track, and he has just one top-15 in his last eight starts. Kenseth might be able to salvage a decent finish, but a win seems very unlikely.
