Defending Brickyard 400 Champion: Jamie McMurray
2011 Brickyard 400 TV Coverage – Network: ESPN

Over the course of the last five years, this has been the time of year that Jimmie Johnson (Current Brickyard 400 Odds: 6.25 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook) has really started to get going on his march towards the Sprint Cup Championship. Of the drivers that are going to be in this field, there are only a few that have made it to Victory Lane here, and only Jeff Gordon have won the Brickyard 400 more times than Johnson has. The No. 48 has already won this race three times. The problem with Johnson is that he has been either hit or miss at the Brickyard, winning three times in nine races but only posting one Top 10 finish in his other six runs.

List Of Past Brickyard 400 Champions (Since 2000)
2010 Brickyard 400 Winner: Jamie McMurray
2009 Brickyard 400 Winner: Jimmie Johnson
2008 Brickyard 400 Winner: Jimmie Johnson
2007 Brickyard 400 Winner: Tony Stewart
2006 Brickyard 400 Winner: Jimmie Johnson
2005 Brickyard 400 Winner: Tony Stewart
2004 Brickyard 400 Winner: Jeff Gordon
2003 Brickyard 400 Winner: Kevin Harvick
2002 Brickyard 400 Winner: Bill Elliott
2001 Brickyard 400 Winner: Jeff Gordon
2000 Brickyard 400 Winner: Bobby Labonte

Kevin Harvick (Brickyard 400 Lines: 12 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook) is one of these drivers that has won a race at the Brickyard in his victory in 2003. We’re tending to get a better price right now on Harvick because he hasn’t run that well of late, but we think that he can turn things around. Harvick finished 21st two weeks ago at the Lenox Industrial Tools 301, and the week off probably did him some good. What we can’t forget about Harvick is that he already has three wins this year, and he does have a great history here at Indy, averaging a Top 10 finish, two things that hardly any driver can say. No one else in the field can say both items. Definitely a great price on the NASCAR betting lines this week.

This is going to be the second time in the last month or so that we are going to back Joey Logano (Odds to Win the Brickyard 400: 35 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook). Logano makes for a very, very interesting set of NASCAR picks this week, as he is running significantly better now than he was at the start of the year. Logano is getting back in the race for the Chase for the Championship, and his second career victory will make all the difference as we wind down towards NASCAR’s version of the playoffs. He only has two runs here at the Brickyard, one of which ended in a Top 10 finish, but the good news is that the No. 20 Home Depot machine that he is driving was brought to Victory Lane twice before by Tony Stewart.
