The 100th Indianapolis 500 brings with it much anticipation. The 2016 race is a bit unique given there is not one driver everyone is attempting to stop on Sunday.

Simon Pagenaud comes in as the points leader with three wins this season, but he shares the top odds for Sunday’s race with two other drivers. According to OddsShark, Pagenaud is joined by Juan Pablo Montoya and Will Power at the top of the Vegas odds.

Montoya will look to become a back-to-back champion in Indianapolis. In 2015, he narrowly edged out Power by .1046 of a second to win the race.

The three favorites are joined by 30 other drivers who will look be victorious in the marquee race of the year.

Prediction

Power lost the 2015 Indy 500 in the fourth-closest race in its history. While Pagenaud brings a lot of momentum into the race, Heavy likes Power to find the Winner’s Circle on Sunday as he makes last year’s second place finish a bit more palatable.

Heavy’s Pick: Will Power wins the 2016 Indianapolis 500.
