Odds to win the NHRA ACDelco Las Vegas Nationals at The Strip at LVMS Oct. 31:

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.
