Stewart Favored to Win UAW-DaimlerChrysler 400
Micah Roberts, oddsmaker for Station Casinos in Las Vegas, has chosen Tony Stewart as his favorite to win the March 11 UAW - DaimlerChrysler 400 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Jimmie Johnson, defending NASCAR Nextel Cup Series champion and a two-time winner in Las Vegas, is a close second. Stewart is favored at 6-to-1, while Johnson’s odds to win have been set at 7-to-1.
Dale Earnhardt Jr., who has yet to visit victory lane at LVMS, is next at 8-to-1. Matt Kenseth, who won here in 2003 and 2004, also is set at 8-to-1.
On the other end of the spectrum, Michael Waltrip - who struggled at Daytona and failed to qualify at California - is saddled with odds of 555-to-1.
