Danica Patrick Head-to-Head Odds and Analysis

Sportsbooks have established Helio Castroneves as the +350 favorite to win Sunday's race, and rightly so. The Brazilian is the only Indy Racing League driver with top 5 finishes in all three races in 2006, with two wins and a second-place finish. Sportsbooks are also bullish on Dan Wheldon and Sam Hornish Jr., each currently sitting at +450.

But racing legend Richard Petty's comments to the Associated Press this week underline why most of the betting action will center around Patrick, whose odds to win the race outright lie between +1200 and +1600.
