Sportsbook Website – J.J. Takes over Chase Lead. This should come as no surprise if you follow the odds at the sportsbook website but Jimmie Johnson has the lead in the race for the Sprint Cup Championship. Johnson is the four-time defending champion and he now has the lead after the third race of ten races for the championship. He didn’t get the win on Sunday at Kansas but his second-place finish was good enough to move him into the points lead. Greg Biffle was the winner and he paid off well for Sbg global gamblers who bet him at the sportsbook.
Closest Chase Battle in History – After three races the chase for the Sprint Cup is the closest in history. A total of nine drivers are separated by 101 points as everyone heads to California this week. Biffle is in the mix after getting the win against the sportsbook odds this past week at Kansas. He is now within 85 points of Johnson for the lead. While Biffle was the winner of the race, the winner in the standing was Johnson who finished second despite a car that wasn’t that good.
Kyle Busch is Stupid Again – Is there any driver in NASCAR that has more talent but is more of an idiot than Kyle Busch? He has had an issue with David Reutimann this season and it flared up again this past Sunday at Kansas. Busch spun out Reutimann early in the race but karma is a funny thing as Reutimann appeared to intentionally wreck Busch with 112 laps left. The wreck dropped Busch way back and he finished 21st. Fans at the sportsbook website don’t like Busch anyway so they are happy to see him get a little payback. When all is said and done the loss of points in this race could cost Busch if he is in contention for the title.
