Kyle Busch is starting to make his presence felt with a second-place finish and Brad Keselowski made it four-straight top-five finishes this season after ending-up third.<\/p>\n<p>The following is a closer look at our favorite, contender, and longshot picks for this Sunday\u2019s race with odds provided by WagerWeb<\/p>\n<h3><b>The Favorite (odd of less than 10\/1)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>Jimmie Johnson<\/b> started this season off by winning the Daytona 500 and followed it up with a second-place finish at Phoenix. Despite a poor showing last week at Bristol, he has been opened as this week\u2019s favorite to win at +575. These odds have also been heavily influenced by the No.48 car\u2019s past performance at this track.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson has won at Fontana four previous times and boasts an average finishing position here of 5.4.<\/p>\n<h3><b>The Contender (odds from 10\/1 to 19\/1)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>It has been a season to forget so far for 2011 Sprint Cup Champion <b>Tony Stewart<\/b> after posting just one top-ten finish in the previous four point races. However, the No.14 car still offers some solid value in its +1200 odds to turn things around this Sunday with a win.<\/p>\n<p>Stewart is no stranger to the winner\u2019s circle at Fontana in recent years with a victory in last season\u2019s race and a first-place finish in the second race at this track in 2010 when Auto Club Speedway use to host two Sprint Cup races each season.\u00a0 [ad-8757089]<\/p>\n<h3>The Longshot (odds 20\/1 or greater)<\/h3>\n<p>The value in the odds drop off rather quickly once you start looking for a longshot to win this race, but if you are still interested in taking a flyer on someone then consider a small play on <b>Joey Logano <\/b>at +4000. He has yet to finish in the top 10 in the first four races, but by keeping the No.22 car in the mix all season long, finds himself in 12<sup>th<\/sup>-place in the Sprint Cup standings with 104 points.<\/p>\n<p>He finished 24<sup>th<\/sup> in last year\u2019s race and his best career finish at Fontana was fifth in 2010.<\/p>\n<h3>Odds from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/go\/bovada\">Bovada<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><b>Odds to win the Auto Club 400 &#8211; Sunday, March 24<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jimmie Johnson 6\/1<br \/>\nBrad Keselowski 8\/1<br \/>\nKasey Kahne 8\/1<br \/>\nMatt Kenseth 8\/1<br \/>\nKyle Busch 8\/1<br \/>\nDenny Hamlin 10\/1<br \/>\nGreg Biffle 12\/1<br \/>\nJeff Gordon 12\/1<br \/>\nDale Earnhardt Jr 12\/1<br \/>\nTony Stewart 12\/1<br \/>\nKevin Harvick 12\/1<br \/>\nCarl Edwards 12\/1<br \/>\nClint Bowyer 20\/1<br \/>\nMartin Truex Jr 20\/1<br \/>\nBrian Vickers 25\/1<br \/>\nJoey Logano 40\/1<br \/>\nRicky Stenhouse 50\/1<br \/>\nRyan Newman 60\/1<br \/>\nKurt Busch 100\/1<br \/>\nPaul Menard 100\/1<br \/>\nJeff Burton 100\/1<br \/>\nMarcos Ambrose 100\/1<br \/>\nAric Almirola 100\/1<br \/>\nJuan Montoya 100\/1<br \/>\nJamie McMurray 100\/1<br \/>\nDanica Patrick 300\/1<br \/>\nAJ Allmendinger 300\/1<br \/>\nBet on the Field (Any Other Driver) 50\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/go\/bovada\">*SPRINT Cup Odds provided by Bovada<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"\/nascar\/sportsbooks\/\">CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT OUR TOP NASCAR SPORTSBOOKS &#8212;&gt;<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2013 Auto Club 400 Predictions NASCAR\u2019s Sprint Cup series returns to the West Coast this weekend for the running of the Auto Club 400 in Fontana, CA.
