Wed, 27 Oct 2004, 10:17 AM Odds to Win the NHRA ACDelco Las Vegas Nationals

Courtesy of John Bisci Force, Schumacher, Anderson Favored in Finals

LAS VEGAS -- Oddsmaker Micah Roberts of Station Casinos in Las Vegas today set the odds for this weekend's NHRA ACDelco Las Vegas Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and the usual suspects are at the top of his list. Tony Schumacher, who recently clinched the 2004 NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series Top Fuel title, heads the list at 5/2. John Force leads the Funny Car parade at 3/1 and 2004 Pro Stock champ Greg Anderson's odds are a decidedly unattractive 1/2. (That's correct: bet two, win one.) Roberts' pick to win Saturday's Bud Shootout for Top Fuel Dragsters is a toss-up: both Schumacher and Doug Kalitta are favored at 5/2.
