Nascar Odds: Kobalt Tools 500 – Johnson The Betting Favorite
NASCAR heads to Atlanta on Sunday at 1:00pm EST for the Kobalt Tools 500 in the fourth race of the season that can be seen on FOX with Kevin Harvick the point’s leader. Harvick is not the NASCAR betting favorite in this week’s race though. That honor goes to Jimmie Johnson who has won the last two weeks. Johnson is the 9-2 favorite in Kobalt Tools 500 odds at online sportsbooks while Harvick is 10-1 in NASCAR picks. Johnson is getting much of the attention but Harvick has a chance to win this week. He is the only driver to finish in the top five in both races in Atlanta last year.
“We’re really looking forward to Atlanta based on how we ran there [in September],” said Harvick, “It has become one of those tracks that has been really good for us in anything that we have been racing there over the past three or four years. Anything short of being competitive for a win or a top five on the Cup side would be a letdown.” Johnson is definitely capable of winning in NASCAR betting odds for three straight weeks and he is a three-time winner in Atlanta. He has eight top-five and 10 top-10 finishes in his last 13 races at Atlanta. The 2010 NASCAR Kobalt Tools 500 can be seen on FOX television beginning at approximately 1:00 pm EST on Sunday.
“Atlanta really reminds me of Darlington where you just have to be very conscious of what end of the race car is taking the abuse or what tire is slipping and sliding too much,” Johnson said. “Every time you slide that tire, you’re just taking speed out of the car, and especially off the tail end of the run. You’re just trying to be very aware of what tires work and looking for ways to get around that, the balance and the load between all four tires. When you’re able to do that, your car typically drives very comfortable and you’re going to need that for 500 miles at Atlanta.” Bet Jimmie Johnson 9-2 as the favorite in NASCAR picks for the 2010 Kobalt Tools 500 on FOX with up to a 10% deposit bonus!
Mark Martin won the pole last year for this race but finished a poor 31st as Kurt Busch got the win. Martin is 8-1 in NASCAR odds while Busch is 15-2. Qualifying and actually racing are two different animals in Atlanta. “The biggest thing is just the way the speed falls off so much,” driver Jeff Burton said. “It’s like it has two personalities. You’ve got this real aggressive, drive hard for qualifying and then when the race starts, you race it like you used to race Darlington.” Burton is 18-1 in Kobalt Tools 500 odds. Johnson is the 9-2 favorite in NASCAR odds at online sportsbooks and he is followed by Jeff Gordon and Martin at 8-1. Kevin Harvick is 10-1and Kyle Busch is 15-2 in NASCAR picks.

The Point $6.97 Harry Nilsson wrote the entirely hummable songs (including the hit, “Me and My Arrow”) for this charming, 1971 animation feature about a boy with a round head who is banished from the land of pointy-headed people.

Miss Saigon (Original 1989 London Cast) $19.30 It’s probably best known for raising the stakes for 1980s blockbuster shows by landing a helicopter on stage, but Miss Saigon is also a good show with good music. As a follow-up to their international smash Les Misérables, Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg (with an assist from Richard Maltby Jr.) adapted the tale of Madame Butterfly to the Vietnam War, realized here by the original 1989 … |

The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts: Dean Martin $7.00 The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts were a fixture on the NBC Thursday night lineup from 1973 to 1984. In those 11 years, Dean and his panel of pals successfully ridiculed, embarrassed and made fun of legendary stars like, Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin himself, to name a few. Over the past 20 years, the roast format has really become sort of an American folklore, set at… |

The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts: Man of the Hour, Jimmy Stewart [VHS] $3.20 Jimmy Stewart captured the hearts of Americans with his kind, warm, boy-next-door appeal. Of his 79 films, he is probably most remembered for the perennial Christmas classic, ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE, for which he received an Oscar nomination in 1946. If that movie’s theme holds true, “No Man Is Poor Who Has Friends”, then Jimmy Stewart was one of the richest men in Hollywood. Some of Jimmy’s friends … |
