Pennsylvania 500 Predictions

• Sponsored by Sunoco Red Cross
• Race Date: July 31 - August 2, 2009 -

After packing in their gears and tires and mobile homes from the Brickyard 400, the good ole’ boys are now heading to the mountains in Pennsylvania for the Sunoco Red Cross Pennsylvania 500 at the Pocono Motor Raceway or otherwise known as “The Triangle”. No kidding, this track is one corner short of a square!

The Brickyard 400 was won by the #48 car, but it comes with a bit of controversy, as the leader for most of the race Juan Montoya was penalized for speeding on Pit Road and it cost him big time, like $448,001 dollars! Rules are rules and if he crossed the line and sped on Pit Road, it sucks to be you Juan! Everybody knows the rules going into the race, and it’s something you can overlook or just close your eyes. Technology is there to prove it and you will be a better race car driver for it down the road.

However, it’s time for Montoya to look forward and take that anger and channel it into the Pennsylvania 500 this weekend. The offshore oddsmakers have made Jimmie Johnson the favorite to win this race at 5 to 1 odds, followed by Tony Stewart (6/1) and the 50 year old Mark Martin (7/1).

If you followed my Brickyard 400 predictions, you made money betting on Jimmie Johnson, as I gave him out as my Bronze pick to win and he made us some money.

Lifelock 400 Betting Odds

July 9 - 11, 2009 -
Driver to win the Lifelock 400

• Venue Chicagoland Speedway
• Corporate sponsor LifeLock
• First race 2001
• Distance 400.5 miles (644.5 km)
• Number of laps 267
• Previous names USG Sheetrock 400 (2005-2007)
• Tropicana 400 (2001-2004)

As described above, The Lifelock 400 will take place at Chicagoland Speedway, it’s formally known as the USG Sheetrock 400 and the Tropicana 400. Obviously, when you’re in a recession, it’s difficult to keep sponsors and because Nascar is a weekly event across the United States, it’s pretty amazing they can get a sponsor for each event during the summer and keep Nascar fans interested. Let’s face it, it’s not everybody now a day who can fork out $500 bucks a weekend to go watch auto racing and with the way jobs have left the automotive industry, it’s amazing how the current sponsors are keeping the ship afloat.

Congrats to the sponsors who are loyal to their events and support something they believe in. It’s too bad we live in a society where most people can’t understand how loyalty from sponsors who support these events are generating jobs and keeping the working cycle from crumbling.

Nevertheless, we had a great finish again last weekend at the Coke Zero 400 and aggressive driving from Kyle Busch cost him some points, as he tried to block Tony Stewart from taking the outside.

Being involved in sports, NASCAR is no different then NFL Football, NBA Basketball or NHL hockey when it involves emotions and one thing I’ve learned in betting, after an emotional weekend like we just witnessed at Daytona; look for a longshot to take the Lifelock.com 400 this weekend. Just part of the game!

My Lifelock.com 400 longshot prediction this week at Chicagoland Speedway is the #99 car, Carl Edwards at +1000.

Here are the Lifelock.com 400 NASCAR Racing odds for this weekend.

• Tony Stewart +600
