2011 Toyota/Save Mart 350 Breakdown – Beating the Odds: Who to Bet On

2011 Toyota/Save Mart 350 Betting Odds Breakdown – Who to Bet On and How to Win Money on the Toyota/Save Mart 350: Road courses are without a doubt some of the most unique tracks on the schedule. As a result, drivers that are often afterthoughts most weeks are serious contenders at Infineon. Savvy bettors can take advantage of these mediocre drivers that excel at the road courses to cash in on some favorable odds. Looking at this weekend’s lines, there a few names that stand out.

Headlining the list of bargains is A.J. Allmendinger. He has 40/1 odds to win Sunday, and considering his road racing background, bettors may want to get in on the action. He has finished as high as seventh at Infineon, and in his most recent road course start at the Cup level, he started and finished in the top five. Allmendinger will be right in his comfort zone this weekend, which could translate into his first career victory.

If you look into Kasey Kahn and his road racing record as a whole, it is understandable why the oddsmakers have him a 28/1 longshot to win this weekend. However, a different driver has emerged the last two starts. He won at Infineon in 2009, and he finished fourth last season. NASCAR is a what have you done for me lately world, and Kahne has done a lot at Infineon lately.

Granted, Mark Martin is having a rough season, but making him a 100/1 longshot this weekend at Infineon is outrageous. After all, he is a former winner at the track, and he has 13 top-10 finishes in 20 career starts. Based on the numbers, Martin is one of the best drivers in Infineon ever, and even though he is slowing down in his later years, he is worth a look at such long odds.

Although he is a former winner at Infineon, Kyle Busch is a bit of a question mark at his current 8/1 odds. Aside from his victory, Busch has failed to finish in the top five in his other five starts. In fact, he has a 20.2 career average finish at the track. Busch can certainly win Sunday, but he is a hit or miss option with the odds of a favorite.

At 16/1 odds, Kurt Busch joins his younger brother on the list of overrated options this weekend. He does have three career top-five finishes in 10 starts at Infineon, but he has never won a race, and he has a very mediocre 20.0 average finish. In his last four starts at the track, Busch has failed to even crack the top 10, and he has finished outside the top 20 three times.

A lot of crazy things can happen on a road course, which makes P.J. Jones a viable sleeper, especially at 250/1 odds. Jones has an extensive background in road racing, and he has a legitimate, albeit not great, ride this weekend with Robby Gordon Motorsports. Jones has the road racing experience to contend. If his equipment holds up and the cautions fall his way, Jones may just spring an upset.
