Nascar betting is almost over for 2008, there are only 4 races left and unless some miracle happens, Jimmie Johnson will win his third NASCAR Cup in a row.  It’s amazingly impressive considering how difficult it is to win a single NASCAR race much less the championship three years in a row.  That makes him one of the single most dominating athlete in all of sports right now.  The nearest competitor, Greg Biffle, is 149 points behind. Jeff Burton (-152) is the only other driver within a race’s worth of points of Johnson.

All this scenario makes 2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship Odds not too interesting, because we have only one big favorite, it really doesn’t worth to take the chance for almost nothing.  Instead Nascar fans still could place a bet on a single Nascar race.  Therefore we bring you a Nascar betting preview for this weekend Pep Boys 500 race betting.

Here are your Nascar PepBoys 500 betting picks.

Carl Edwards - nascar betting odds + 450 - Won the 2007 NASCAR Busch Series championship and is in contention to win the title again this year; ran second at Atlanta last year.  He could win this, though, which would definitely take some of the sting away.
