NASCAR Sprint Cup 2012 Subway Fresh Fit 500 Odds: After a rain-soaked Daytona 500, NASCAR owners, crews and drivers will be happy to see Florida in their rear view mirrors as they head to Avondale, Arizona for the running of the Subway Fresh Fit 500 Sprint Cup Race at Phoenix Motor Speedway this Sunday (March 4) with Green Flag racing set for 2:30 pm ET. Daytona always provides surprising results and 2012 was no different. Aside from the weather, bad luck hindered a number of NASCAR ODDS favorites including traditional leader Jeff Gordon, who because of a blown engine, finished 40th. Gordon’s teammate Jimmie Johnson suffered his worst career finish (42nd) after crashing his car barely into lap two. Of course where some have bad luck, others found plenty of good luck. Matt Kenseth had the strongest car as he took the checkered flag. All the calamity aside from the weather probably helped some drivers, most notably Carl Edwards who was able to pull out a 10th place finish in spite of not having the best car that day.
With Daytona now history, teams will be looking forward to settling into the Sprint Cup Series points battle, currently led by Daytona winner Kenseth. However, Kenseth is not the favorite for Phoenix, according to oddsmakers at TopBet.com. That honor goes to Jimmie Johnson, coming into the race getting +400 odds followed by Tony Stewart getting +700. Gordon is expected to be in the mix getting +800 followed by Kasey Kahne (+1000) and Kenseth (+1,200).
