YOUR
BETS
If there’s ever been an
Indianapolis 500 that seems
destined for a blanket finish,
the 92nd might well be it. The
40-car entry is loaded with
quality and, with five winners
in as many races so far in
2008, handicapping the 500
is no easy task. But there are
some indications as to who
the odds-on favorites are,
and who might have a shot if
everything goes their way.
We’re betting that you’ll
disagree with a few of our
choices (surely, not all?),
but that’s half the fun.
