Race<\/strong>: 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup All-Star Challenge at Charlotte Motor Speedway Among the other criteria to make the race are drivers who’ve won a race this year or last, Sprint Cup champions from the past ten years, and All-Star Race winners from the past ten years. <\/p>\n Among the drivers *not* currently in the All-Star Race, but hoping to make the field either through the Showdown or the fan vote, are Greg Biffle, Clint Bowyer, Jeff Burton, Carl Edwards, Juan Pablo Montoya, Elliott Sadler, and Martin Truex Jr. <\/p>\n 1. Jimmie Johnson (9\/2): <\/strong> Charlotte Motor Speedway has been called “The House that Jimmie Built,” because of the way Johnson dominated this track from 2003-2006 in the regular Cup Series races. <\/p>\n He won the All-Star Race in ’03 and ’06 and won segment one last year.<\/p>\n 2. Kyle Busch (9\/2): <\/strong> Though Busch has not won the All-Star race yet, he has won at least one segment of it in each of the past four All-Star races. <\/p>\n Busch is known for his strong restarts and that, along with a strong pit crew, may be his strong suit in this short race. <\/p>\n 1. Jamie McMurray (25\/1):<\/strong> McMurray started this season right with a win in the Daytona 500, and he has also won a Cup race at Charlotte in the past (2002). <\/p>\n Though he hasn’t been strong in the All-Star Race itself, he also hasn’t run it with the confidence he’s showing this season. Summary<\/strong>: This year’s race could be decided on the final pit stop, as NASCAR has added a mandatory four-tire pit stop before the final ten-lap shootout. If they’re still contending for the win at that point, the benefit of the doubt goes to the pit crews of Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch, and Jimmie Johnson. <\/p>\n Jeff Gordon leads all drivers in All-Star wins with three, though his last win was in 2001. <\/p>\n Weather may also be a factor, with rain and thunderstorms in the forecast both Friday (qualifying day) and Saturday (race day).<\/p>\n Sprint All-Star Race Odds to win 2010 Sprint All-Star Race <\/strong><\/p>\n Jimmie Johnson 9\/2 <\/strong> 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup All-Star Challenge betting preview and racing picks from motorsports gambling experts at capperspicks.com nascar betting site for the upcoming Nascar race at Charlotte Motor Speedway…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":22745,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[10330,29336,29343,24184,29342,24185,13881,13882,13883,10364,29341,29337,10358,10643,29339,29338,29340],"class_list":["post-22743","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nascar","tag-10330","tag-2010-all-star-challenge","tag-2010-nascar-odds","tag-2010-nascar-picks","tag-2010-nascar-race-schedule","tag-2010-sprint-cup","tag-all-star-challenge","tag-all-star-challenge-gambling","tag-all-star-challenge-lines","tag-becca-gladden-articles","tag-bet-the-sprint-all-star-race","tag-charlotte-motor-speedway","tag-free-nascar-picks","tag-free-nascar-predictions","tag-nascar-sprint-cup","tag-odds-to-win-2010-all-star-challenge","tag-odds-to-win-the-sprint-all-star-race"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22743","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/54"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22743"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22743\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22748,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22743\/revisions\/22748"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22745"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22743"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
