KANSAS--5mike5

[5mike5]

thats the best lane by far on restarts, but for some reason he just isnt set up for restarts..its odd

my god if he doesnt win this race with the competition today and the best car then hes in trouble...no1 has the speed that car does

but strategy might win this thing

[shaunovery]

Every bloody restart jinmie starts outside

[5mike5]

Jamie McMurray's team has really stepped up lately

his car has lived in the top 10 lately it seems

[Vegas39]

Was robs BBQ cause of that caution

[5mike5]

just when i thought i had seen it all in nascar

a fukkin bush fire causes a caution!!!

[5mike5]

every single driver i have has had brutal luck...guess im due for it like this

looks like im cheerleading for the forum team this week

and hope logano/Jr. dont bury everybody

[shaunovery]

Looks like Dario Franchitti might be badly hurt in Indycar race.

Waiting for news...

Just watched it think he is ok

[5mike5]

just heard he's ok

car looked destroyed but not like i was watching indy so didnt see the wreck

[Optional]

False alarm. he's ok.

1/2 way now, so we should start seeing more and more engine trouble

[yisman]

Danica is 28th in the cup standings, behind Mark Martin and Denny Hamlin, who have missed multiple races (and have done very poorly this season even when they have raced).

[5mike5]

Jimmie Johnson has the class of field by a LONG margin again this week again

no1 but themselves could blow this win

[yisman]

time to review Danica's performance:

she regularly has the longest odds (or close to it) for non-parkers, meaning the books know she has no chance in hell

her last time finishing 19th or better was July 6 at Daytona

since then (she managed 14th there):

37
30
35
20
23
26
21
30
20
27
29
29
43

Seven times finishing 29th or worse in that span.

[5mike5]

impressive job

[yisman]

impressive jobs done by reutimann, patrick, and whitt

Whitt at least got back on the track

[5mike5]

cautions always fall at the worst times at this racetrack

thats gonna mix things up again

more bad luck for jimmie

[Optional]

For the 2nd week in a row I've taken the #51 with the wrong driver as part of my roster

[5mike5]

got HAMMERED late

i didnt even notice that

[yisman]

Stenhouse was the biggest odds mover but Harvick must've been second biggest

he opened low after winning the pole and got bet down anyway

[5mike5]

keslowski in driver meeting this morning:

" does wrecking some1 on purpose break the nascar 100% racing effort all the time rule?"

[shaunovery]

Enjoyed paint scheme on the #10 while it lasted

[5mike5]

btw i wasnt fading Marcos, just only H2H they offered with Menard

as long as Kennseth doesnt win it will be a scratch play anyways

[flyboy]

I think David Ragen> David Reutimann -130 is a winner also.

Looks like this one is money in the bank already!!

[Optional]

Good luck all!

Well except you Mike with your anti-Ambrose H2H!! ;-)



Got organized too late to add to my early Harvick bet.... so Go Kev Go.

I had an interesting conversation with a crew member for Ambrose last night. He's been with the 9 for 2 years, was with the 43 the year before that and was with the 16 for several years.
He said that the performance of RPM (43 & 9) generally mirrors that of the Roush cars. Their season hasn't gone really well since the Roush cars have kinda struggled. He told me that since RPM gets pretty much all of their stuff from Roush and and since RPM is a second-tier team $-wise, they really can't expect to generally perform much better than the worst Roush car.
He's a bit optimistic about the future for the Fords because Ford will be leaving drag racing after 2014 and it's expected that they'll start putting more money into NASCAR. He said they've recently seen a bit more help on the engineering side from Ford.
He said no one likes the "new" tire they're running this weekend, but you probably won't hear anyone telling the media that. Most everyone appreciates what Goodyear does for NASCAR and they're reluctant to say anything bad about them.
He also said that there is a special test session coming up at Charlotte, where NASCAR is going to try a number of changes such as a wickerbill and different spoilers in another attempt to make the cars less aero-sensitive for 2014.

Great info. Thanks Rob.

fading edwards is always a smart bet imo, much less at +odds

found some really good ones

I really like Hamlin over Newman at +odds


finished with HTH above.

field 22/1

You get Stenhouse, JPM, Burton, and Martin

I think I'll pass on that. Have 7165 Roush Fenway car wins Hollywood 400 +1375*

instead in case Stenhouse wins

other guys are just the usual dregs with a field SC bet
