Alright guys we are off to the paperclip at MARTINSVILLE this weeeknd for Trucks and Cup action. TRucks are back after almost a month off and the Xfinity series gets its 1st race of the new season off this week. Sorta sad since we have been killing it on the lower series, but trucks have been good too so hopefully we can start the weekend off right with them Saturday afternoon. Finally the Cup race I'll also have an earlier start time thankfully this week since the west coast swing is officially over

Looking over my books for Mville, I'll be surprised if we don't see a few of the vets get on track and have better runs this week. Still have things to look over and deleting on odds of course but probably have a few plays I haven't bet yet all season.

This racetrack is bumper to bumper all race long and feathers will def be ruffled all race long. Passing means u have to pretty much move cars out of the way. Speed is not even half the equation here, brakes are probably more important than anything.
MARTINSVILLE is a short "paperclip" shaped FLAT racetrack, measuring at 0.526 miles. One of the shortest 2 tracks on the circuit. with only 12-degrees of banking in all 4-turns and NO banking at all in the straights that are only 800 feet each.

As always everybody's opinions and picks are always welcomed. Let's get them again this weekend!!!!


GOODLUCK!!!!!

I can't post links, but here's last few years winners @ Martinsville (spring race listed 1st):

2014: Kurt B, Dale Jr

2015: Hamlin, Gordon

2016: Kyle Busch , Jimmie Johnson

[Optional]

Ha.. well there are 6 I'd like to all have on the roster.

[5mike5]

Yeah this is probably gonna be a tough week filling out a roster with the odds I'm expecting

[hawk 5]

Yeah this is probably gonna be a tough week filling out a roster with the odds I'm expecting

odds are going to suk. Going to find out if Jimmie's done.

[5mike5]

Yeah I'm expecting 18/11/48 all in the 6- 1 range. Hopefully I'm wrong

[5mike5]

Odds are posted.........

[5mike5]

Early plays:

Kyle B (+650)
jimmie (+750)
Bowyer (+2750)

**id inuse a cover at this point could use any early plays depending on the #s after I add to roster and depending on any parlay I can get from qualifying and trucks sat. Just know these numbers maybe best of the week so I jumped on them. I will add anyways to them probably.

Bowyer is good on these short flat racetracks, when he has the equipment, and has been very strong early so thought he maybe worth a chance as my only longshot as they historically are a waste of money here

[hawk 5]

Took Larson +1350, BK +750, Jimmie +650.

[5mike5]

I like BK too Hawk. Just couldn't take more favs early or I would have, had I took him would have been way boxed in taking 3 low early favs. Hoping to have a parlay to close or maybe just take him as last play on raceday. This week is gonna be so hard with these odds. And have to make split second choices since openers last just minutes on some

And hard not to like Larson every single week!

Like ur early plays for sure.

[5mike5]

Trucks:
Crafton (+450)

**will be taking 1 more single probably and parlay chase Elliot on when parlayables post on raceday

thanks. Like Boyer but not enough. see how qualifing and practice goes

[5mike5]

Yeah I'm done til practice and qualifying too

[5mike5]

The weather forecast looks terrible for practice session and Cup qualifying tomorrow, maybe it changes

been nailing qualifying bet open parlays last few weeks, and of course they aren't offering them this week for some strange reason. Unreal

[Optional]

Just late going up at a guess.

[5mike5]

Hoping so opti...

[turbobets]

Actually found some match up odds better than 5D this week.

Kevin Harvick +1400

Kyle Busch +100 Denny Hamlin
Brad Keselowski +100 Jimmie Johnson
Ryan Newman +125 Clint Bowyer
Erik Jones +100 Austin Dillon

[turbobets]

Guys on siriusxm radio were hoping for rain tomorrow so they could watch qualifying under the lights.

[turbobets]

Books seem to like Hamlin this week. A win and 3 top 10's over four races but Kyle Busch same record over three races and higher average finish so why is Hamlin favored?

[Optional]

Is it a secret book Turbo?

harvick +1400 at bookmaker

...but 5D has busch -120 vs hamlin -110 and +600 for the race so book dependent I guess.

[Optional]

Those early lines, especially at 5D get moved around a lot by action.

I used to look for a 5D lean on anyone but they dont seem to do that anymore. Just adjust to action.

Watch for laps led and if u go back further Hamlins won here 5 times while Kyle's won once.

THIS^^^^^^

hamlin is a flat out MASTER at this racetrack. 1 reason he hasn't won here more LATELY, is pit road speeding and other goof ups. He and Jimmie should be the favs. Easily

not taking anything away from Kyle, but he use to be less than average here and has turned it around recently. Hamlin being a big reason why. But as Hawk said 1 Win is 1 win. Kyle isn't even close to Hamlin's territory overall at Martinsville Actually wish I took Denny early but maybe I will later

[5mike5]

Guys on siriusxm radio were hoping for rain tomorrow so they could watch qualifying under the lights.

would be fun to see them before the fall race, but would rather make sure we get in the session

the weather here is rainy as hell he last 12 hrs and continues as I post this. Which is moving north to Va. I haven't looked yet but I'll be shocked if it isn't already a mess there. Just hoping it clears up by this evening because I would hate to see this qualifying session cancelled

[turbobets]

ok makes sense thanks for the info hawk and mike

[5mike5]

CUP qualifying was cancelled

Starting lineup to be set by owner points

Bummer. Just tuned in and saw too :\

[5mike5]

Sucks I have nothing to watch now this evening. Ahhhh

[hawk 5]

CUP qualifying was cancelled

Hamlin starting 12th. might be good.

[hawk 5]

Jimmie starting What 16th? Not good.

[hawk 5]

Bowyer starting 8th ain't bad for the price u got him for. Larson getting P1 pit box makes me happy.

[5mike5]

yeah pretty good for bowyer and absolutley HUGE for your Larson grab early bud.

Agree, our JJ play didn't need to see 16th

hoping Hamlin outside top 10 may help his odds like u said, doesn't look like they will repost them b4 sessions though . Only have 1 play to add im guessing (unless truck race gives me a parlay to work with) so I will be giving Denny a hard look late tonight when odds come out. Penske in my radar too. Tough decision
