The Station Casinos in Las Vegas take action on both the Summitracing.com Nationals in April and the AC Delco Nationals in October. Since the wagering pool is miniscule compared to the amounts bet on stick and ball sports, it takes very little to move the odds. For example, when Jerry Tolliver was running the WWF car some years back he was listed with prohibitive odds prior to the start of qualifying, so stopped by on his way to track in an effort to plunk down something like ten grand. They refused to take his bet (they should have. He lost early!)

This time around the Field bet in Funny Car, meaning every competitor other than those listed by name with specific odds, opened at 15 to 1. Among those not listed by name was hotshot Robert Hight, and someone apparently liked what they saw on the board, and plunged fairly significantly on that bet. By Thursday afternoon the odds had dropped to 5 to 1, and by Friday the Field bet was down to 4 to 1.
