The Sprint Cup Series begins its playoffs on Sunday, as the Chase for the Sprint Cup launches with the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Denny Hamlin sits atop the reconfigured driver standings heading into Sunday’s race, and he’s the 9/2 oddsmakers’ co-favorite along with Jimmie Johnson to take the checkered flag. Johnson won the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at New Hampshire back in June, while Hamlin won that race back in 2007. Kyle Busch is pegged at 11/2 odds to win the Sylvania 300, with Kevin Harvick and Tony Stewart both at 10/1, Jeff Gordon at 11/1, and Kurt Busch, Jeff Burton, and Clint Bowyer at 12/1. Defending race champion Mark Martin is at 50/1 odds.
