HOMESTEAD--finale--5mike5

[5mike5]

Couple of tit bits

Pastrana not returning to nascar nxt yr

And 103 days left till the daytona 500

it WAS sponsorship actually, and not by his choice according to ESPN article i read this morning

he said all his critics were right about him being a nascar driver.."i proved them all right"..."i just never got to understand how to race on pavement"

WOW

but his results were beyond awful and that's just the facts.

[5mike5]

Was his choice

read post above, did u hear different somewhere?

he said it was not his decision at all...he said he never could get pavement racing at all

[5mike5]

also JEFF BURTON has announced he will be at least running a part-time schedule next season in 2014 and alsdo already knows where , but the plans aren't ready to be announced just yet...also said he could be racing the next 5 years even though i don't see that....

call me crazy, but i also think he will be in a MAJOR tv broadcast booth as well, maybe even starting next year when/if not in a racing car and full-time when hes done racing...

he is just too damn good at it not to be and says he always wants to be involved in the sport in some way

the short blurb on jayski led me to believe he wanted more time with family

[Optional]

The injury mid season set him back or it may be a different story i think.

Same with Carpentier a few years ago.

[5mike5]

the short blurb on jayski led me to believe he wanted more time with family

well he did say at the end of espn article now he will get to spend more time with them and his other stuff he always loved to do like nitro circus, rally cars, ect ect....his real passions in life

i mean he just flat out admitted i could not get racing on pavement, and the finesse it takes to be successful at it...pretty honest and humble...

not sure why i just thought the guy would really catch on and was rooting him on...he just coulsnt do it though

[Vegas39]

It definitely is hard and can take time. Look at how some good open wheel drivers have struggled

[Vegas39]

Like you mike I was hoping he'd do well

[JayHorne3]

glad you came along so I'm not only nut betting qualifying

Maybe more control for him or he thinks smokes an ass ( bet yisman agrees )

Fire rusty hire Burton

[JayHorne3]

Off topic but my biggest college football play of the year is Auburn -4 this weekend

[yisman]

fire the guy who spent a half an hour pleasuring himself to Danica on the pre-race

I think that was Rusty

[SubjectMatterExp]

I'm formerly known as bmansell33 just changed name due to fact it was to close to real name anyhow. I'm coming out of the closet and betting Carl this week for everyone to know haha

Took him early too.

[5mike5]

Fire rusty hire Burton

I agree

[5mike5]

I've never seen all odds between 5-19 to -1 on the board besides a longshot single driver. Maybe the hardest race for the books and us to cap being the senarios in place.

And a track that only runs the final race every year

[yisman]

It was last year.

I normally don't watch the pre-race.

[5mike5]

[5mike5]

Damn I just saw that franchitti is retiring from Indy because of that crash

[DiggityDaggityDo]

[5mike5]

In on Edwards!

Gonna try and ride or die with you on this last race, Mike!

Not shocked between seeing his best friend Wheldon killed. And this wreck. Probably best thing

[yisman]

I bet Edwards 16/1 at youwager

[hawk 5]

I took Edwards early at 1625. Go check the driver vs driver and Carl is +100 against Hamlin.

[Reno Paul]

I just jumped on Jimmie Johnson @+1400......He's running the same chassis as where he won at Texas and Dover........I'm just worried that he may run too conservative only to win the chase.

[5mike5]

not liking his price, but im also taking a hard look at GORDON this week too to WIN

might grab some now and some later on raceday haven't decided just yet though

yeah great price, almost seems like a very bad line to me honestly...

but he wont be pulling to win this 1 imo...he never does with this lead....

defensive driving all day imo for the #48 ....

but @ 14-1 worth the risk why not

I think he plays it conservative

What's not to like about +1400 on JJ.....I don't get it!!!!

[5mike5]

easy anwser there...price is great, almost seems like a VERY BAD LINE by the book...like the book not paying it bad is what i mean

i like #24 way way more than #48 this week...jimmie would be toward end of my top 10 list....but like i said its a good price and worth the risk

The price was +800 on the 48 yesterday.....I went to re-deposit for the last race, and I almost $hit my pants when I seen the line jump to +1400.....Was going to do it for yesterday's price.
