Sour Cream Dips 400 Predictions \u2013 Betting Preview + Picks + Odds<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Preview<\/strong>: While the NASCAR Nation is still buzzing about last weekend&#8217;s dust-up between veteran driver Kevin Harvick and young gun Joey Logano, there are two other stories to keep an eye on as the circuit heads to Michigan this weekend.        <!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Race<\/strong>: Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400 &#8211; Michigan International Speedway<br \/>\n<strong>Date<\/strong>: Sunday, June 13, 2010<br \/>\n<strong>Time<\/strong>: 1:16 PM EST (scheduled green flag)<br \/>\n<strong>TV<\/strong>: 1:00 PM EST on TNT    <\/p>\n<p>The first, unfortunately, is the weather.  Although rain held off long enough on Friday to get the full qualifying session in, the weather forecast is calling for a 50% chance of rain and thunderstorms for the weekend.  <\/p>\n<p>This could result in Saturday&#8217;s Happy Hour being rained out and\/or a green track to start the race Sunday.  <\/p>\n<p>Another storyline is the possibility of Ford finally breaking into the win column in 2010, as Michigan is considered a Ford-friendly track.  Ford teams won 7 of 11 races here between 2002-2007, but have only been to victory lane once in the last five MIS races (Carl Edwards in August 2008).  <\/p>\n<p>Still, with Ford winless in 14 Cup races this year, they will take a win any way they can get it.  <\/p>\n<p>Eight Ford teams will be running the new FR9 engine this weekend.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Safe Bets:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Denny Hamlin (7\/2):  <\/strong> Hamlin&#8217;s got the hot shoe in NASCAR right now, with a series-leading four wins including the victory last week at Pocono.  Although he has not won a race at MIS yet, he did finish third in this race last year and has the fifth-best average finish overall.  <\/p>\n<p>Hamlin qualified 7th.<\/p>\n<p><strong>. 2. Kurt Busch (6\/1):<\/strong> Busch is the polesitter for Sunday&#8217;s race and has two wins already in 2010.  <\/p>\n<p>Busch finished eighth in this race last year and has won twice at Michigan in 18 starts, once in a Roush Ford and once in a Penske Dodge (August 2007).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dark Horse:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Kasey Kahne (20\/1):<\/strong> Kahne won this race in 2006, going from flag to flag for the victory.  He has also finished second twice and qualified fourth for Sunday&#8217;s race. <a href=\"http:\/\/record.partners.betus.com\/_zzar6WLC4ykDVkvPM80nyagaAKfXWndM\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"width: auto; height: auto; margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/media.partners.betus.com\/BANNERS\/racing\/sportsbook_AutoRacing_250X250_mybanner.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Summary<\/strong>:  Although he&#8217;s had a bit of an uncharacteristic struggle the past few weeks, don&#8217;t rule out a strong run by Jimmie Johnson this weekend, who won in February at Auto Club Speedway, sometimes known as Michigan&#8217;s sister track.  <\/p>\n<p>Johnson qualified third and currently has 9\/2 odds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Race: Heluva Good!
