2011 Hollywood Casino 400 Odds, Predictions, Betting Tips and Free Picks – Favorites and Lines to Win Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas: NASCAR betting odds to win the 2011 AAA 400 this Sunday, October 9th at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas have been posted at all the major Las Vegas and best online sportsbooks with Jimmie Johnson having been installed as the +700 favorite to win the 2011 Hollywood Casino 400.
The championship fight is heating up as former champs Kurt Busch, Tony Stewart and Jimmie Johnson all sit inside the top five, looking up at co-leaders Kevin Harvick and Carl Edwards. Harvick and Edwards have never won a title, and it will be interesting to see how the two drivers hold up as the pressure mounts and the number of races remaining starts to shrink.
Last fall, Tony Stewart and Greg Biffle relived their duel from the year before, taking turns at the front of the field. Stewart led a race-high 76 laps, but it was Biffle getting the track position when it mattered most. He pulled away from the field in the closing laps on two tires, while Stewart finished fourth after opting for four fresh tires on his final stop.
Earlier this season, Penske Racing driver Kurt Busch appeared to be on his way to his first career win at Kansas. He led 152 of the 267 laps, but pit strategy in the closing laps jumbled the running order and cost Busch a shot at the win. Ironically, it was his Penske teammate Brad Keselowski that took advantage, stretching his fuel tank and coasting to the victory.
The Favorites – 2011 Hollywood Casino 400 Odds, Predictions and Free Picks
He is a two-time winner at Kansas, and Jeff Gordon’s 8.1 average finish at the track is the best in the series. He has eight top-five finishes in 11 career starts at Kansas, including five straight. Gordon finished fifth at the track last fall and fourth earlier this year. He is a virtual lock to be in the mix for the win Sunday.
After a rough weekend at Dover, Tony Stewart should rebound nicely at Kansas. He is a two-time winner at the track, and he has finished in the top 10 in his last three starts. Stewart has finished eighth or better in eight of his 11 career starts at Kansas, and he could grab his third win of the Chase this weekend.
Jimmie Johnson has finished in the top 10 in eight of his 10 starts at Kansas, including five straight. Johnson has three top-three finishes, including a win, in his last five starts. The five-time champ showed some serious muscle last weekend at Dover, and he could be set for one of his patented title runs.
The Dark Horses – 2011 Hollywood Casino 400 Lines, Preview and Expert Picks
He has reeled off nine straight finishes inside the top 12 at Kansas, and Greg Biffle is also the defending winner of this weekend’s race. In fact, he is a two-time winner at the track and has finished third or better an impressive six times. Biffle hasn’t had the great year, but he could turn things around in a big way Sunday.
The incredible hot streak that Brad Keselowski is on actually began with a win at Kansas earlier this year. He has been an elite driver ever since, and there is no reason he can’t complete a season sweep this weekend. After all, Keselowski has been in the mix to win almost every week for the last few months.
Sleepers Specials – 2011 Hollywood Casino 400 Vegas Odds, Expert Predictions and Free Picks
In two of his four starts at Kansas, A.J Allmendinger has finished inside the top 10. More importantly, he has been inching closer and closer to a win ever since making a crew chief change a couple of months ago. Allmendinger could become the next first-time winner in the Cup Series, and it could happen this weekend.
He has just one top-10 finish at Kansas, but David Ragan has finished 16th or better in four of his five starts at the track. He has had some strong runs at 1.5-mile tracks this year, which also bodes well for his chances this weekend. The Roush Fenway Racing equipment has been on the mark at the intermediate tracks in 2011, and Ragan should be the beneficiary this weekend.
Big Names to Avoid – 2011 Hollywood Casino 400 Betting Odds, Predictions and Free NASCAR Picks
He is normally one of the best in the series, but Kyle Busch has always struggled at Kansas. In eight starts at the track, he has just a single top-10 finish and has never finished in the top five. Busch has finished outside the top 20 five times at the track, and he has as a dismal 22.4 average finish.
After opening his career with a win and two second-place finishes at Kansas, Ryan Newman has seemingly lost his rhythm at the track. In his last eight starts, he doesn’t have a single top-five finish and has just one top 10. Newman has finished outside the top 20 five times during the stretch, and he has looked like a shell of the driver that was once one of the best at Kansas.
