    Sprint Cup 2010 - Samsung Mobile 500 - Texas

    Well we are at mid week and it is time to start looking at NASCAR. Things move to Texas this weekend. Practices are back to normal, with them being on Friday and Saturday.

    14 of the 18 races at Texas, have been won by drivers that qualify in the top 10. Jimmie +550 and Gordon +750. Might just as well get that out of the way. Will add 2 more.

    Weather is not cooperating. Looks like a rainout.

    Yes, this sucks because I use practices to gauge my picks.

    JR over Newman looks solid to me whenever they get this in.

    I know I should leave this race alone, but I won't.

    Jimmie Johnson +450
    Tony Stewart +800
    Kyle Busch +1025

    SBRbook

    Jimmie Johnson +350
    Tony Stewart +800
    Kyle Busch +900

    I left Greg Biffle off of my card, lets hope he don't screw me and win the damn thing.

    Good luck everyone.

    Ain't messing with ya looker, but have to take the Biff at +1300. Final spot goes to Burton at +1995. Wanted Stewart but took Gordon early. K Kahne may be tuff today too. Anyway, taking a chance on higher odds on Burton. GL looker.

    Man, I have a bad feeling about these two races. Something in the back of my mind wishes these are rained out all week, so they can be moved to another weekend or something.

    Has that ever happen? What would they do if it was rained out more then a few days?

    Matt Kenseth's Finish

    OVER 8.5 -145
    UNDER 8.5 +115

    That seems like a really good play to me with his record on this track in the last four tries. I live about an hour southwest of Ft.Worth and it's cloudy and cool, but just a light mist this morning that is mostly gone. They should get it in.

    Took my shot with this. He has 10 Top 10 finishes at Texas and the odds on him finishing in the Top 10 are -135, so finishing up two spots at +115 seems like a no brainer pick for a dumb ass like me.

    Gordon again had the best car and failed to win. That's racing.

    Maybe post in a up to date thread, so these old ones don't get mixed in.

    Oh yeah, welcome to the NASCAR forum.
