2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship odds
A Vegas-based betting company has offered its odds as to who will be the NASCAR Sprint Cup champion in 2008.If they're right, it's a two-man race between the usual suspects. Do you think they're right?
From Micah Roberts // Station Casinos:
"Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon find themselves at the top again favored at 4 to 1 and 9 to 2 respectively to win the Championship. The Hendrick teammates were equally consistent using the "Car of Tomorrow" and the "Car of Yesterday" last season. No other team was close from start to finish on the season. Because the Hendrick team appeared to have such an edge in the COT last season, and the fact they'll be using the model for all 36 races this season, the question of the season will be, "Who can compete in the COT with Johnson and Gordon?"
To win 2008 Sprint Cup title...
Jimmie Johnson 4/1
Jeff Gordon 9/2
Matt Kenseth 8/1
Dale Earnhardt Jr 8/1
Tony Stewart 10/1
Clint Bowyer 15/1
Carl Edwards 15/1
Kurt Busch 15/1
Martin Truex Jr 17/1
Denny Hamlin 20/1
Kyle Busch 22/1
Kevin Harvick 22/1
Jeff Burton 25/1
Casey Mears 28/1
Greg Biffle 35/1
Ryan Newman 35/1
Kasey Kahne 38/1
Jamie McMurray 50/1
J.P. Montoya 75/1
Field - All Others 50/1

Dodge Charger to race in NASCAR Sprint Cup in '08
(editor's note: Not sure how this impacts the Dodges on the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series. However, through their history they have branded their cars (in CASCAR and NCATS) based on what happens on NASCAR's top circuit (Winston Cup, Nextel Cup, etc.) Last season, Dodge campaigned both the Charger and the new Avenger on the NCATS tour. - gm)
From Dodge....
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (November 28, 2007) -- Dodge today confirmed that it will race the Dodge Charger in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in 2008 and beyond, continuing to add to its rich NASCAR tradition.
Dodge, which has a storied heritage in auto racing with the Charger, has elected to continue the winning tradition that legends David Pearson, Bobby Isaac and Richard Petty established in the 1970s by designating the Charger as the nameplate Dodge teams will use in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series next year.
"Racing is the core of Dodge's DNA," said Michael Accavitti, Director -- Dodge Brand and SRT Global Marketing. "Dodge has a racing heritage that spans many different nameplates and models, and the Charger is the cornerstone of that heritage. When NASCAR originally announced the phase-in plan for the "car of tomorrow", it made sense for Dodge to race the Charger and Avenger. When the decision was made to race only one car next year, we talked with our partners, the more than 2,500 Dodge Dealers across the country, and they expressed overwhelming support for Dodge to continue its motorsports heritage with the Charger nameplate. NASCAR rules permit Dodge to use either nameplate in 2008.
"Since 2001 when Dodge returned to NASCAR, the goal has been to win races and ultimately the championship. Those goals have been accomplished with the Charger previously and we are committed to make it happen again."
The 2008 Dodge Charger lineup will feature five teams with 12 drivers that are a mixture of seasoned veterans, experienced young talent and champions from other racing series that are newcomers to NASCAR.
Dodge Charger Racing Heritage
The Dodge Charger has recorded 136 wins in NASCAR's premier series with 124 coming during an 11-year span, 1966-1977. Three drivers -- Pearson, Isaac and Petty (3) -- combined for five championships during that period driving a Charger.
After an absence of almost 30 years, Dodge returned to NASCAR competition in 2001 with the Charger returning to the track in 2005.
