2010 AAA Texas 500 Predictions \u2013 Betting Preview + Picks + Odds<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Preview<\/strong>: Three races left, three drivers still in the running for the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup title. Heading into Texas this weekend, four-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson still has the points lead, but only by a slim 14-point margin over Denny Hamlin and 38 points over Kevin Harvick. <\/p>\n

Race<\/strong>: AAA Texas 500 – Texas Motor Speedway
\nDate<\/strong>: Sunday, November 7, 2010
\nTime<\/strong>: 3:19 PM EST (scheduled Green Flag)
\nTV<\/strong>: 3:00 PM EST on ESPN<\/p>\n

There was one practice session here on Friday followed by qualifying, but two more practices will take place Saturday.<\/p>\n

The top-five in practice Friday were Greg Biffle, Carl Edwards, Juan Pablo Montoya, Matt Kenseth, and Elliott Sadler – worth noting for the three Roush-Fenway drivers setting the\u00a0 pace.<\/p>\n

Sadler scored the pole with Biffle in P2.\u00a0 Johnson qualified 17th, Hamlin 30th, and Harvick 26th. <\/p>\n

Safe Bets:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Denny Hamlin (5\/1):<\/strong> Hamlin won this race in the spring, which does not necessarily mean he’ll win Sunday, especially from a 30th-place starting spot.\u00a0 But don’t let that qualifying position worry you too much, because Hamlin won the spring race here from 29th place, while Matt Kenseth won in 2002 from 31st.\u00a0 Hamlin has the best average finish at TMS and ran second in this race last year. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Carl Edwards (15\/1):<\/strong> Edwards is a three-time winner at TMS, making him the only driver other than Jeff Burton with more than one Texas win (Burton has two).\u00a0 Like Kenseth (below), Edwards is hungry for a win before the 2010 season closes.\u00a0 Carl had the second-fastest car in practice Friday and qualified P3.\u00a0 The car Edwards is piloting ran most recently at Dover in September, where it started tenth and finished fifth.<\/p>\n

Dark Horse:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Matt Kenseth (22\/1): <\/strong> Kenseth is a previous winner here and was fast in practice Friday.\u00a0 He hasn’t won a race yet in 2010 and would certainly like to do so before the year is over.\u00a0 Matt qualified 19th for Sunday’s race.\u00a0 He finished third in this race last year and has three second-place finishes at Texas.\u00a0 Kenseth has the second-best average finish here among active drivers.<\/p>\n

Notes<\/strong>:\u00a0 Kyle Busch is running all three races this weekend in Texas and won Friday’s truck race.\u00a0 A polesitter has only won once here in 19 races, while three winners have come from a starting spot of 21st or worse.\u00a0 Jeff Gordon tops the laps-led category.\u00a0 Tony Stewart has the highest driver rating at Texas based on races run since 2005.\u00a0 Jimmie Johnson finished second here in the spring, but 38th last fall.<\/p>\n
