This Sunday marks the 96th running of the Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, otherwise known as the Brickyard.<\/p>\n
2012 Indianapolis 500 Betting Preview While the growth of NASCAR\u2019s popularity over the years has replaced open-wheel racing as America\u2019s No.1 racing series, the Indy 500 is still one of the most popular and entertaining races in the sport.<\/p>\n The following is a look at my top three favorites to win Sunday\u2019s race along with their current odds as provided by Bovada.<\/p>\n Pole sitter Ryan Brisco is the odds-on-favorite to win this race at 7\/2, but veteran driver Castroneves offers better value as the second-favorite at 11\/2 to win at Indy. He already has three top-10 finishes in the first four races this season, including a victory at St. Petersburg and a third-place finish in the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama.<\/p>\n The No.3 car is currently second in the Izod Indy Car point standings. He is coming off a disappointing 2011 campaign where he went winless in 18 races including a 17th-place finish at Indy. However, given his current form coming into this year\u2019s race, Castroneves is in great position to capture his fourth career Indy 500 championship after winning in 2001, 2002, and most recently in 2009.<\/p>\n He will start this year\u2019s race from the sixth position; on the outside of Row 2.<\/p>\n There is no Indy series driver hotter right now than Will Power. He comes into this race ranked first in the standings with 180 points after winning three of the first four races, which adds a tremendous amount of value to his 6\/1 odds. The No.12 car started last year\u2019s race from the middle of the second row but could only manage a 14th-place finish.\u00a0\u00a0[ad-8757089]<\/p>\n While Power is still searching for his first career win at Indy, he has come close in recent years with a fifth-place finish in 2009 and an eighth-place finish in 2010. He will once again start this year\u2019s race in the middle of the second row.<\/p>\n The Andretti name has long since been synonymous with Indy car racing and Marco continues to carry this tradition on as one of the top drivers in the series.<\/p>\n The No.26 car has gotten off to a slow start this season; finishing out of the top 10 the first four races. He is coming off a solid 2011 campaign with a victory at Iowa to go along with four other top-five finishes.<\/p>\n Last year at Indy, Andretti was forced to start 26th due to a poor qualifying time but still managed a top-10 finish in ninth place. He already has a second-place finish in this race in 2006 and two third-place finishes in 2008 and 2010 on his resume, so at 10\/1 odds, 2012 could very well be his year to break through with a victory.<\/p>\n He will start this year\u2019s race on the inside of Row 2 in the fourth position.<\/p>\n Indy 500 Lines<\/strong><\/p>\n Ryan Briscoe – – 15\/4 Betting ON Indianapolis 500 Gambling Odds This Sunday marks the 96th running of the Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, otherwise known as the Brickyard.
