In last week's Nextel Cup victory. The win also proved that drivers of Hendrick Motorsports are the best in the business who've been dominate this year.

Hendrick drivers have won nine of the first 12 races this season, and all five of the COT (Car of Tomorrow) events thus far. Jimmie Johnson leads the way with four checkered flags, Jeff Gordon has three, Kyle Busch and Mears one.

The Hendrick speedsters will again be strong this weekend in the Autism Speaks 400 at Dover. The team has won the last five races and enters Dover rolling in momentum. The dominance has made it difficult for bettors to stray outside of the Hendrick four-fleet circle and understandably so.

However, gambling is all about risk taking and potential big payouts. A driver who fits the bill is Tony Stewart. After leading several races and appearing headed for victory several times in 2007, Stewart has been shut out through 12 races. To say he's due would be an understatement. Dover is a fast, aggressive race track, which compliments Stewart's style of racing.

Stewart has finished 15th or worse in the last four Dover races but expect a different outcome on Sunday. In his 12 starts prior to that, he had 11 top-10 finishes and two victories.
