Such a toss-up for me this week, in contrast to last.

Jimmie looks the man on stats. I agree the Gibbs cars should do well, but think Kyle should be +550 and Denny +800 instead of other way around. Hard to ignore the way Bowyer dominated here last race too, even if the points were stripped, I think it shows the team knows exactly what is needed to be extra fast here.

Of the long shots, I'm really impressed with the improvement the #00 team has been showing and think Reuti might go on a bit of a roll soon. He was 7th here last time out and always had solid top 15 finishes. Same as last week I'll probably take him for a Top 10 or Top 5 if anyone offers him.

Brad K started on pole last race here and pulled the Finch #09 car to a 6th place on debut a year earlier. Plus like Reuti he has been on a sharp improvement curve last few races.

Think I just talked myself into taking a little of that +4500 on Brad K right now.

Logano and Kyle for Nationwide. Whitt and Dillon for trucks.

What's everyone else thinking early?

[avssakic]

Like 45-1 on brad k for a little something

[MysteryMung]

I also like the 00 car, been pretty solid the last few weeks - and a definite competitor.

Hard to ignore the Gibbs team this weekend - I like Hamlin this week, hopefully they'll try too look out for their bubble teammate, 5dimes has Hamlin +600, and KyB +850, with the 48 car at +575. I think I'm going to put a unit each on Hamlin, Kyle and Jimmie.

Going to go with you and sprinkle a little bit on the 2 and the 00, maybe also Stewart +1250 and Newman +4300.

Will check back later in the week

[avssakic]

Have a feeling Hamlin might be real strong this weekend

[hawk 5]

It's getting to be Jimmie time.

[StanleySharp]

Before I looked at the lines this week I liked Hamlin (although I planned on playing him for a top-3 finish)

Might throw a small amount on Brad for the Nationwide race

Field is way to open......No h2h picks for me this week

[theMARTY]

Let's go racing boys, Loudon style.

[avssakic]

I think happy hour will show us who the real contenders are

[WolverineFan]

gonna n interesting 2 c if 11 and 48 can have strong races when they need 2

[theMARTY]

Newman, Army Strong on the pole. Bowyer, has a nice car too, going to be in the 90s this weekend, slick.

[WolverineFan]

Hey guys my local gives me matchups on the races..If u guys would give me some ideas of would u would take i would graetly appreciate it....Here r Nationwide matchups

22-33 60-18 20-7 6-16 88-31 2-32 11-38 09-66

[Optional]

Funny set of matchups I think.

22-33 too tough to call
60-18 anything better than -140 on Kyle is good value I think
20-7 Is that a mis type? Logano should be about -350 against Wimmer in the #7
6-16 But only because Ragan has been struggling worse than Biffle in practice.
88-31 Before practice I would have called Junior. But Burton looks genuinely up there top 5 fast to me.
2-32 Another mistype? Kesolowski should be near -500 to beat Bliss
11-38 Same as above for Hamlin to beat Yeley
09-66 Lock of the week. No 09 starting the race.

I'd probably parlay 20 + 2 + 11 they are such sure things.

09-66 Kenny's on a roll and Steve is an idiot.

Listen to Rusty trying to find anything to say other the obvious truth. Steven Wallace is an effing idiot.

The silence from the other commentators, waiting for Rusty to say something, was funny though.

Yea I was thinking the same thing that was some funny stuff...they was silent 4 a long time

Hope 6 runs out of gas and I will sweep my H2H

[WolverineFan]

come on 88!!!!!

[Optional]

Restarting in 11th and 12th with 30 to go. This is going to b a nail biter!

We need some luck Wolverine. Sorrenson looks a little stronger right now eh.

[WolverineFan]

ouch those late caution hurt but look good on 88

[WolverineFan]

stupid old 66..that bastard i wish some1 would kick his ass..it helps some on ur bet but had alot more on H2H

[Optional]

There was the needed luck. Bad luck for Sorrenson.

And good luck for us.

What are you still riding? Just Bayne to somehow miracle it past Stenhouse for a sweep?

[StanleySharp]

Good hit guys

Opti, you still think Brad is worth a small amount for tomorrow's race?

[WolverineFan]

well i wish i would have got ur picks earlier opti u would have done good with those h2h..i appreciate ur parlay it helped me come back and just about get even...c ya 2morrow bud

[Optional]

@Stanley Penske cars both look awesome but have to admit I'm much less sure about Cup than NW or Trucks this weekend. But am glad the punters club is on Brad still. I'm leaning Stewart and Gordon right now though. And back of my mind Jimmie keeps nagging at me too.

@Wolverine. It was such a shitfight at the end I think it was mostly luck picking those H2Hs today.


I've backed Austin Dillon and Cole Whitt to win the truck race if anyone cares.
