Ford 300 From Homestead-Miami Speedway
The NASCAR Nationwide Series wraps up its 2009 season on Saturday with the 2009 Ford 300 from Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Points leader Kyle Busch simply needs to start the race in order to win the season championship, but he also enters the race as the favorite along with rival Carl Edwards.
Busch and Edwards have 3/1 odds win the race according to oddsmakers at the online sports book SPORTSBETTING.com. Other short odds to win are Joey Logano (4/1) and Brad Keselwoski (4/1).
Busch has a 190-point lead over Edwards in the standings and starting Saturday’s race will give him enough points to beat Edwards on the season. Busch is coming off a ninth place finished last week and has placed in the top 10 in nine of his last 10 races. Busch has eight wins in 2009
Carl Edwards won last year’s event and is coming off a win last week. Edwards has placed in the top nine in his last 11 races and in 19 of his last 20. Edwards has five wins on the year.
Logano has competed in 21 races this year in the Nationwide series and has five wins during this season. Logano has finished outside the top 10 in his last two races.
Keselowski is third in the standings, 250 points behind Busch. Keselowski has four wins this year and has finished in the top 10 in 16-straight races and has three wins during that stretch.
