Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon are expected to lead the way when NASCAR hits Watkins Glen International on Sunday afternoon. Here's your Daily Sports Roundup ...

Event of the day . . .

Stewart and Gordon each have four career Cup wins at the road course at Watkins Glen, the site of this week's Sprint Cup Series event, the Centurion Boats at The Glen. Stewart took the checkered flag last year, as well as in 2005, 2004, and 2002. Gordon visited victory lane at Watkins Glen in each of 2001, 1999, 1998, and 1997.

It should come as no surprise, then, that those two drivers are the Vegas favorites to pick up the win this weekend. Gordon leads the odds list at 5/1, with Stewart just behind him at 7/1. Kyle Busch, who still has a sizeable lead in the points race, and Carl Edwards, who won at Pocono last weekend, are tied back at 8/1 odds.

Road-course specialist Boris Said is then pegged at 10/1 odds, with Jimmie Johnson and Robby Gordon both at 12/1, and Juan Pablo Montoya and Denny Hamlin sitting at 15/1. Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kevin Harvick, and Ron Fellows (another road-course ringer) are all at 18/1 odds. Harvick got the win at Watkins Glen back in 2006.

Non-event of the day . . .

The Chinese men's basketball team has one of the best players in the Olympic tournament in Yao Ming, but the oddsmakers still expect them to get blown out by the powerful American team in their opener on Sunday morning (10:15am ET tipoff). The United States has been pegged as a huge 33-point favorite in the expected laugher, while the game's total is on the high side at 183 points.
