never a bad move @ DAYTONA to just chill and watch til the real season starts @ PHOEXIX next week...I couldn't do it, but ...its not a week tp be blind;y tailing anybody cause were are all the darts here..even the sharpest fukker here (opti)

IMO, TALLADEGA is the much better of the 2 restrictor plate plate tracks...lots more action and so wide racing is great and literally any1 can win at that track...

but DAYTONA brings the best and most exciting finishes...both this weekend was amazing...few other other exibition races were too !

and lets face the facts, its DAYTONA, and not only that today is the DAYTONA 500 STARTING IN JUST 15 MINUTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

whats the deal with the cars that have to go to the back?? The line up in qualifying position but have to let everyone pass them from the start?

For instance, Truex lines up in row but has to lag back?

Forgive my ignorance lol

Back up cars, engine replacement, etc.

If something major changed on the qualifying car, to the back you go.

Back up cars from wrecks or engine changes

I get that but they actually start in their original postions right? Just have to let everyone pass from the start??

They will fall to the back before the start.

[yisman]

no they kick them to the back for the opening position. the original position is out the window if you change the engine, you start at the back

if u have to use a back-up car OR change engines after qualifying, then no matter if you were suppose to start 1st,

u go to the back of the field after lineup and b4 the green flag is thrown...

BUT don't worry if ur driver is going to the back of the field, that means absolutly NOTHING at this race...ALOT of the best drivers and champions will drift to the back on purrose to try and avoid the "BIG ONE" wreck of the day

as long as your ur doesn't wreck or blown-ups its engines and is on the lead lap within top 20 or so seconds with 10 to go, u have a chance to the 500...

Just keeping that car clean and out of trouble ALWAYS my main #1 objectives on all the drivers i bet on every plate race...

cause if u only lose 1 pick by halfway, ur doing GREAT

[Vegas39]

No to rear to start. Same with Harvick for failing inspection after duel race

[shaunovery]

Enjoy the race every1

[yisman]

I usually like to look at the field odds. This week, not so good. 12/1 and you get Ambrose, Vickers, Danica, Ragan, and Waltrip. All 55/1 or worse.

actually, youwager offering 15/1. I'll try that for a little, not sure if worth it

they also have kenseth 10/1 so I'll add him

and jamie mac 25/1!

a lot of bets this week

[5mike5]

and STATS are alot of the time USELESS in NASCAR handicapping..at least for me

he has been top 5 last few laps and 1st on another and wrecked or blrew his engine...so the stas dont always tell the true story for him or the car that day

1 of his best racetracks overall, always has a good chance usually imo here...

that said i did not bet him either

just a friendly reminder

[Optional]

Woo Hoo. We are away.

[MatI]

Enjoy the race guys, tried to sneak in a few hours sleep. Almost missed the bloodt start, im glad I put in my bets early!

a little late but my roster:

Dale Jnr +1200
Kenseth +1200
Hamlin +1400
Kahne +1600
Edwards +2500
Gilliland +12000

Ambrose +100 vs Menard



GL!

[5mike5]

My dark horse is Paul Menard

lots of guys i have seen like him this week...

GL (if i cant win that is)

[yisman]

mike, I wonder if you saying a driver is ON FIRE or flying will still jinx the heck out of the guy this year

[MOOCH14]

Good luck to everybody. Race season is here!!

[Dirty Sanchez]

lots of guys i have seen like him this week...

GL (if i cant win that is)

I guess dark horse in regards to odds! 40-1

[5mike5]

mike, I wonder if you saying a driver is ON FIRE or flying will still jinx the heck out of the guy this year

id guess the latter statement...

JINX it

sad truth is i get excited and type it though anyways!!!!

[5mike5]

I guess dark horse in regards to odds! 40-1

yeah on any other week would be a HUGE HUGE underdog...still a big underdog no matter what when u get 40-1 in my book!

Its just this track REALLY any1 can win....only 4 races u can really say that about all season long, and this is 1 of the 4 of 36 races of the entire season ANY1 can really win at

[rickie65]

sped thru some sites to get the contest picks done and some bets in.

had to have action so got small win$ on: Jr, johnson, dillon, stewart, Vickers, Harvick, Kurt B, Ragan.

wanted Hamlin but at +650 on DSI had to pass.

Hamlin H2H over Kez and Stewart.


GL all!

[5mike5]

BIFFLE hits the wall..not sure if any damage done

[yisman]

they said kyle picked up 25 spots


well yeah that's what happens when he starts 37th!
