With many of the other major sports in a bit of a lull right now the biggest event right now in NASCAR betting is the Daytona 500.Daytona 500 betting odds are hot commodities in the betting world right now. Millions of NASCAR fans will be scouring the Internet for Daytona 500 odds and looking for their favorite drives, many of whom will be looking Jeff Gordon in particular. But for all the Daytona odds fans that love Gordon, there’s just as many that can’t stand him.
Daytona 500 betting odds fans can be a fickle bunch. When they love someone the love is almost unconditional and for these NASCAR betting fans a driver can do no wrong. Take for example Junior, the most popular driver in the Daytona 500 betting odds by a country mile. He can do no wrong in the eyes of most NASCAR betting fans. The guy is a hero to millions and wildly popular with the majority of Daytona 500 odds fans. And why shouldn’t he be? He’s well spoken, humble, comes from great racing blood lines and has enjoyed moderate success in the Daytona 500 betting odds and in NASCAR betting in general.
But take for example a driver like Gordon, while quite popular among many sectors of the Daytona 500 betting odds crowd, he’s also despised by a great number of Daytona 500 odds fans as well. To an outsider it might seem very strange that Gordon isn’t more popular with NASCAR betting fans and racing fans in general, and perhaps it is. But in order to understand why such a seemingly likeable driver should attract the scorn of so many Daytona 500 fans you need to understand a bit more about he sport of stock racing and world of Daytona 500 odds.
Stock racing is blue collar sport with its roots in the south. The majority of Daytona 500 odds fans can somehow be labeled as such in this equation. The problem is that Gordon is not blue collar, nor from the south and so a great many Daytona 500 betting odds fans have a difficult relating to the driver and vice-versa. This in itself is one of the great obstacles for Gordon among NASCAR fans and perhaps one of the reasons why he’s not more popular in the Daytona 500 odds.
Gordon prefers Armani to Levis and that’s not something that is popular with most Daytona 500 odds bettors. And worst of all, he’s from California! That in itself is almost unforgivable in its own right for many bettors on Daytona 500 betting odds. But despite these ‘flaws’ Gordon still possess a sizeable allegiance of fans and come February 17th, he will be likely be out there among the race leaders trying for yet another win against he Daytona 500 odds.
