Dover 200 Odds
The NASCAR Nationwide Series takes to the track Saturday, Sept. 26 for the 2009
As is the case in most Nationwide races, points leader Kyle Busch is the overwhelming favorite to win.
Busch is listed at 37/20 odds to win according to oddsmakers at the online sports book BetOnline. Other short odds to win are Denny Hamlin (7/2), Brad Keselowski (9/2), and Carl Edwards (6/1).
Busch is the defending champion in this race and sits in the lead in the points standings by 201 points over Carl Edwards. Being out of the Sprint Cup chase, Busch is focused on winning the Nationwide title this year. Busch has back-to-back top-3 finishes and has only finished outside the top 10 four times in 2009.
Hamlin has only driven in four races in the Nationwide series, and has finished no better than 17th in all four. Looking for a better showing this week, Hamlin returns to
Keselowski sits third in the Nationwide standings, 297 points behind Busch. Keselowski is on a hot streak right now, with five-straight top-5 finishes and nine-straight top-10 finishes.
Edwards is hoping for a late surge to end the Nationwide season in order to catch Busch. Edwards has won two of the last three events to narrow the gap, but will need more of the same to have any hopes of winning. Edwards has finished in the top 5 in seven of his last nice races.
