I'm a Kyle Busch fan, but he couldn't win in his own equipment in Nationwide. That's why he moved back to JGR.

So it is about the car and equipment, along with driver and crew chief. It all has to add up.

theres alot more capable teams and cars in cup....but of course its everything, i just said its not all about the car... but the driver is most important in any decent ride...imo...but u cant drive junk of course which is what kyle was driving last season in nationwide

i didnt think so, not sure why that crossed my mind..

must be tired

5mike5 · 08-02-13, 10:41 PM

Same reason dale jr never wins races in the best equipment. He's not a very good He actually use to be pretty good, but that was a very long time ago. Not sure he even gives a rats ass to be honest

Both McMurrary & JPM free agents at the end of this year. I would be very surprised if Chip made any changes but who knows hey.

Thought I heard something about JPM being a free agent after this year.

Chip loves McMurray I know he isn't going anywhere.

He is a average driver.

Everything has to be in place. Good driver, good crew, and good equipment. Period.

Jimmie can't jump into the 87 car with the 87 crew and dominate like he does.

Nemechek can't jump into the 48 car with the 48 team and do what Jimmie does.

5mike5 · 08-02-13, 10:53 PM

Jimmie reopened at the Greek at +275. Yikes

5mike5 · 08-02-13, 10:54 PM

We disagree. He's far from average. That's crazy to even say. Period.

i plainly said u couldn't drive junk. Like the 87. And never said u didn't need other things either. But is alot more than a good car. Plenty have good cars and can't do anything

I think you misread me again.

You think I'm calling Jimmie average?

A TON of drivers are gonna be ALOT better too. Kennseth, Stewart, Gordon

only drivers that gained much were Kurt, kyle, newman and Logano that I can tell. Gonna help Jimmie such a huge fav.

Of course these are Greeks odds. No dimes til early tomorrow I'm guessing

I was calling Dale Jr. average.

5mike5 · 08-02-13, 11:04 PM

I didn't even look at practice or qualifying from today besides saw Jimmie got the pole. But there are some serious overreactions or just most dropping alot from a big fav?

we disagree still. He's below. Lol. Just kiddin yeah he really is average.

I gotta get a new pair of glasses. I've misread too many posts this week. Mostly urs. Lmao

5mike5 · 08-03-13, 05:53 AM

added cup plays, but still have eye on a few that odds keep getting better...might jump now on those just in case, but still debating on who ill use as a cover or if ill use 1 at all..leaning yes since odds are pretty good...cant wait on rowdy though

shocking at how much better dimes has been reposting then even greek...messes up my plans...lol

same with nationwide, got dillon already, undecided on any1 else at the moment...might look to use open parlay as well

stayed with original 3 truck plays

5mike5 · 08-03-13, 06:04 AM

finally looked at qualifying, gotta love all 3 early plays all qualifying top 11...

5mike5 · 08-03-13, 07:00 AM

Strange to see kennseth at 20-1+ this season isn't it

It isnt always about driver talent anymore. Get rid of Newman and keep Danica? Get rid of Kyle and add JR. All about sponser money.

5mike5 · 08-03-13, 07:39 AM

Ur right about thar hawk. Only reason menard and Danica have a ride in top teams is sponsorship.

U know its bad when jr can't find sponsors. Lol. Least I think I heard that he was short a bunch

hawk 5 · 08-03-13, 07:42 AM

Only reason. Newman has more talent in his pinki than Danica has or ever will have.

Hahahahahaha. That's a fact

Slimpickens · 08-03-13, 09:05 AM

There should start being bet the winner without Jimmy, like they have in golf without Tiger. Im not throwing anymore money at this race as I think we know whats coming tommorow.

5mike5 · 08-03-13, 09:07 AM

I hope ur right slim! But Jimmie has what 5 or 6 wins all year? Not like he's winning a ton of races or close to a lock every week. Be easy $ if that was the case. Underdogs have been winning most of the races the last few months.

if the best car won all the time he would have 10+ wins I'd say though'. But they rarely do

i just hope its any of my plays. Lol

5mike5 · 08-03-13, 09:13 AM

Kurt b. did his part for us too. He won't be at those odds again

Slimpickens · 08-03-13, 09:20 AM

Yea, got good numbers on 2 of my 4. Its just tough for me to invest serious money right now knowing how superior the #48 team has been lately.

Optional · 08-03-13, 09:30 AM

oh damn... rain delay at Pocono

5mike5 · 08-03-13, 09:37 AM

Just morning showers. Good to go after that and tomorrow. Least that's the forecast. Only 20-30% chance after morning today

Optional · 08-03-13, 09:41 AM

I think so.

Optional · 08-03-13, 09:50 AM

They just said grid set by practice times.

good for the Turner trucks I think. I have a feeling Beuscher might get noticed today.

Optional · 08-03-13, 09:51 AM

Hope that isnt live pics we just saw. Looked still raining there if so.

5mike5 · 08-03-13, 09:52 AM

Oh I didn't know truck series did that. Good catch
