After taking down the first two races in the Chase for the Championship, there is just no way that we can ignore just how good Tony Stewart (Odds to Win the AAA 400: 8 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook) has truly been. “Smoke” still probably doesn’t believe that he is the driver to beat in the Chase for the Sprint Cup, but he definitely has done well enough in these first two races to be considered a legitimate threat when push comes to shove. The problem for Stewart? He has only averaged finishing at 12.5 at this track in his career, and though he has a pair of wins at Dover, that isn’t nearly as good as some of the other contenders around him.

For example, there’s a reason why Jimmie Johnson (Current AAA 400 Odds: 6 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook) is the man that is favored to win this race. He was not just the winner of the AAA 400 last year, but he is the two time defending champion. In total, Johnson has won six races at Dover dating back to 2002, four of which have come in the race late in the season. We keep waiting for the No. 48 to wake up and take his place near the top of the Sprint Cup standings, and it has yet to happen. Though the No. 48 won’t be on top when this weekend is all said and done with, he can really put the threat into the rest of the drivers in the field by taking the checkered flag at a racetrack he has dominated over the years.

2000 AAA 400 Winner: Tony Stewart

And then there’s Brad Keselowski (AAA 400 Lines: 15 to 1 at 5Dimes Sportsbook)… We still think that the Jet Ski has a legitimate chance of winning the Sprint Cup this season, and we know that he has some real potential at this track. Sure, he only has an average finishing position of 17.7 in his races here, and he did only finish 13th in the May race here, but we just can’t ignore this man’s form right now. Keselowski has had nine straight finishes in the Top 12, and he darn near won again last week at the Sylvania 300. Don’t be surprised if the shocker heads to Victory Lane again this week.
