NASCAR betting fans: We’re back with another fantastic race this weekend at infamous Talladega Motor Speedway, as 43 of the best drivers in the world look to make for great Aaron’s 499 picks!<\/p>\n
The fastest race in the history of NASCAR was run on this track in 1997, as the average speed of the Talladega 500 was a whopping 188.354 MPH. Since then, restrictor plates have been put into the fold, and if the running at the Daytona 500 was any indicator, this should be an absolutely fantastic race.<\/p>\n
Chevrolets have really dominated here on the high banks of Alabama, as those drivers have won every race but one here since 1999. In fact, a Ford hasn’t won a race here since 1997, and there isn’t an active Ford driver that has won a race here aside from Mark Martin. That being said, we tend to believe that Chevy’s will continue to dominate. Last year’s winner, Kevin Harvick<\/strong> (Current Aaron’s 499 Odds: 7 to 1 at Hollywood Sportsbook<\/a>)<\/em> is the relatively hefty favorite to win this event. He has been absolutely fantastic all season long, finishing in the Top 10 five times, including posting two wins at the Goody’s Fast Pain Relief 500 and the Auto Club 400.<\/p>\n However, we know that it is only a matter of time until Jimmie Johnson<\/strong> (Aaron’s 499 Lines: 15.50 to 1 at Hollywood Sportsbook<\/a>)<\/em> really kicks it into gear and becomes a tremendous contender again. Now, it’s true that Johnson hasn’t finished worse than 16th in a race since the Daytona 500, and he does have three Top 3 finishes since the first race of the season, but he has yet to take a checkered flag. Johnson knows that he should really do well in this race, having won it in 2006, the first year in which he won a Sprint Cup Championship.<\/p>\n In fact, Johnson and his teammate, Jeff Gordon <\/strong> (Odds to Win the Aaron’s 499: 15.50 to 1 at Hollywood Sportsbook<\/a>)<\/em> combined to win four straight Talladega 500s from 2004 to 2007. Gordon has already taken care of his winless streak, winning at the Subway Fresh Fit 500, but since that point, he really hasn’t done all that well. The Rainbow Warrior knows that he can turn it on at any moment though, and that fifth place finish at the Goody’s Fast Pain Relief 500 might be just what he needs to start to turn the corner again. Qualifying well would help, and he hasn’t started in the Top 20 since March 20th.<\/p>\n One man really hasn’t snapped his horrendous losing streak at this point, and that is Dale Earnhardt Jr.<\/strong> (Current Aaron’s 499 Odds: 11.50 to 1 at Hollywood Sportsbook<\/a>)<\/em>. Both Little E and his daddy have a great history here on the high banks of Talladega Motor Speedway. Earnhardt Sr. won this race in 1990, 1994, and 1999, and Earnhardt Jr. took down the title in 2002 and 2003 in back to back seasons, making him one of the few back to back champs of this race. Don’t be surprised if Little E has something up his sleeve for his losing streak that dates back to 2008.<\/p>\n Aaron’s 499 Odds @ Hollywood Sportsbook<\/a> (as of 4\/12\/11)<\/em>:<\/strong><\/span> Kevin Harvick 7 to 1 Ready to beat the Aaron’s 499 lines, then you won’t want to miss our 2011 Aaron’s 499 picks from our expert NASCAR handicappers at Bankroll Sports!<\/p>\n
