NASCAR betting fans: We’re back with another fantastic race this weekend at Chicagoland Speedway, as 43 of the best drivers in the world look to make for great GEICO 400 picks and the Chase for the Sprint Cup begins!<\/p>\n

2012 GEICO 400 Odds, Picks & Info<\/span><\/strong>
\n2012 GEICO 400 Date<\/strong>: Sunday, September 16th, 2012
\n2012 GEICO 400 Green Flag Time<\/strong>: 2:14 ET
\n2012 GEICO 400 Location<\/strong>: Chicagoland Speedway, Chicago, IL
\n2012 GEICO 400 Favorite<\/strong>: Jeff Gordon and Matt Kenseth (+800)
\nDefending GEICO 400 Champion<\/strong>: Tony Stewart
\n2011 GEICO 400 TV Coverage – Network: <\/strong>ESPN<\/p>\n

But of course, the man that is going to be the favorite here in the Windy City is Jimmie Johnson<\/strong> (Current GEICO 400 Odds: 11 to 2 at Bovada Sportsbook<\/a>)<\/em>. The No. 48 hasn’t won at this track in his career, but he does have eight Top 10 finishes in his 10 career starts. There aren’t many drivers that are in the Chase that have all that much success at the GEICO 400, and we aren’t all that surprised that Johnson hasn’t done all that much either. However, he is still one of the drivers that has historically raced incredibly hard here in the opening few races in the Chase, and this could be yet another great time to back JJ to win this race.<\/p>\n

List Of Past GEICO 400 Champions (Since 2000)<\/strong>
\n2011 GEICO 400 Winner: Tony Stewart
\n2010 GEICO 400 Winner: David Reutimann
\n2009 GEICO 400 Winner: Mark Martin
\n2008 GEICO 400 Winner: Kyle Busch
\n2007 GEICO 400 Winner: Tony Stewart
\n2006 GEICO 400 Winner: Jeff Gordon
\n2005 GEICO 400 Winner: Dale Earnhardt, Jr.
\n2004 GEICO 400 Winner: Tony Stewart
\n2003 GEICO 400 Winner: Ryan Newman
\n2002 GEICO 400 Winner: Kevin Harvick
\n2001 GEICO 400 Winner: Kevin Harvick<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the men that the media is hyping up as a driver that could win the Chase for the Sprint Cup is Dale Earnhardt, Jr.<\/strong> (GEICO 400 Lines: 12 to 1 at Bovada Sportsbook<\/a>)<\/em>. Little E isn’t exactly one of the immediate favorites to win the Sprint Cup or this race at Chicagoland, but he is going to be a force to be reckoned with. Unlike most of the other drivers in the Chase, at least Earnhardt Jr. knows how to get to Victory Lane here in the Windy City, having won here in 2005.<\/p>\n

\"\"Last year was one of the first times that we have seen a driver come from the Chase for the Sprint Cup to win the opening race of the Chase. The man that claimed that title was Tony Stewart<\/strong> (Odds to Win the GEICO 400: 17 to 2 at Bovada Sportsbook<\/a>)<\/em>. The man they call “Smoke” is really getting disrespected as one of the middle of the road drivers on the odds to win the Sprint Cup, but he is surely going to be one of the favorites after winning here at Chicagoland last year. The problem that we have backing Stewart right now though, is that he only has one finish better than 19th since the August 5th Pennsylvania 400. The good news though, is that that solid finish came last week at the regular season ending Federated Auto Parts 400, so perhaps there is better coming here for Stewart as we start the postseason.<\/p>\n
