To Win:

10% of wager on Jeff Gordon @ +1461 (Pinnacle)
20% of wager on Kevin Harvick @ +1600 (Olympic)

To finish top 3:
Jeff Gordon +325 (Olympic)
matchup:
Jeff Gordon -130 over Kasey Kahne (5 Dimes)
Tough race to handicap, with a "cookie cutter" track configuration and only 4 races run here. Kevin Harvick won 2 of these 4 races and took the Busch Series event on Saturday so we'll use him in the mix. Tony Stewart won last year, and has been in good form lately with wins in the L2 races. Some concern about lingering effects of a crash in practice, but Stewart is a tough SOB so if he's healthy enough to get behind the wheel he'll be healthy enough to try to win. After those two, there's a lot of guys that we could use. Jeff Gordon has posted top 5 finishes in 3 of his 4 Chicago starts, and we'll take him in a matchup with Kasey Kahne and to finish top 3. Jimmie Johnson will start from the pole, and has never won here but in his 3 races has finished 4th, 3rd and 2nd. Not much of a value on Johnson relative to the other drivers, but its hard to argue with his performance here. Greg Biffle is the other favorite, but his record on this track has been less than impressive (two races, finished 20th both times). On the other hand, he's been so good this year there's no reason he can't compete on a relatively undemanding track. We'll take a smaller position on Gordon due to our stake on him to finish top 3 and the matchup--if he wins we'll obviously cash those bets as well. If you wanted to go for a bigger payday you could leave out Johnson, take bigger position on our other three drivers and throw a guy like Mark Martin (15/1) into the mix.
