Logono and Menard only real big names. Poor dave blaney has no backup car, hopefully hes gets something out there too at least try and make the 500

Read Gordon possibly to backup. Did Kenseth have damage too?

Kenseth very little if any. Gordon had a piece of metal stuck in his hood, but pretty sure they just patch that up.

Nascar.com said backup but that means fixable

was ironic, surprised he didnt have something smart too say about Matt. On gordons twitter he posted a picture that said minor damage.

**Vegas39** · 02-19-14, 05:36 PM

I misread statement. Said no move towards backup

Piece of metal from Brian Vickers' car stuck in front end of Jeff Gordon's car, in crease where hood meets grille. No move to backup for 24.

All toyotas look solid...bowyer is very stout...8/1 in his duel

**5mike5** · 02-19-14, 07:31 PM

These practices are about as meaningful as watching my ass hair grow

too much info buddy

**5mike5** · 02-19-14, 07:39 PM

Yeah that was

**5mike5** · 02-19-14, 07:39 PM

Fukkin duel #1 is stacked

Last night without a race til Monday

**5mike5** · 02-19-14, 07:49 PM

Eric McClure and Kurt Busch could pass for brothers

**5mike5** · 02-19-14, 08:49 PM

I've got the itch to gamble on racing so bad I can't stand it. I'm fired up. Like a heroin addict needing a hit straight out if rehab

**Vegas39** · 02-19-14, 09:32 PM

Oh lord Stewart

Stewart: Danica should race Petty, shut him up

http://espn.go.com/racing/nascar/cup/story/_/id/10485750/tony-stewart-says-danica-patrick-race-richard-petty-get-shut-up

It took Tony Stewart a while, but his feelings about Richard Petty's comments that Danica Patrick could only win a Sprint Cup race if "everybody else stayed home" finally bubbled over.

**5mike5** · 02-19-14, 09:51 PM

God I love Stewart when he gets on a rant. LOL. Halarious

In tired I hearing about it too to be honest. Both the pettys talking about her. Even though I love Kyle's commentary on TNT. Only good thing about TNT. Coverage actually

**Vegas39** · 02-19-14, 09:53 PM

At 76 I'd still bet on Petty

**Slimpickens** · 02-19-14, 11:02 PM

Why is Danica Patrick favored over Paul Menard in a h2h for the 500?

Probably because 500 was only top 10 last year

**MatI** · 02-20-14, 12:53 AM

Apart from liking the idea of fading Danica, I have absolutely no idea about who I am going to take for Daytona.

I've taken a few longshots early I knew would drop (and did) but I'm in the same boat really til I see final odds and the overreactions to starting lineup, duels, and practices.

Damn crapshoot. I'll probably mostly just go off my notebook for Daytona lineups and pick a few off there and enjoy it and hope to have a chance on the last lap. Or at least have a car left. Lol. Plus I'll play 1-2 longshot parlays or extra entertainment

The real work starts next week in Phoenix.

Menard has gone to a backup car, I think. Could be a factor.

Yeah, complete crapshoot this weekend. You could handicap this like a normal race, but I think the lucky horse shoe is more useful than anything else at plate tracks.

Im going to be at work during the duels

GL with whatever you take. I was just thinking about how they will pan out tomorrow and I think they could actually be mostly uneventful. Nearly everyone will need to race their way into the 500 this year so I dont think many will be racing too hard (except maybe Logano!) until right near the end. Will probably be a chaotic last 15 laps though.

Menard +3300

GOGOGO!

I got menard @ +4000 at Bovada the other day, odds are off right now...Im assuming cause the duels are today/tomorrow...

**pigpenII** · 02-20-14, 09:34 AM

Hi all. so happy we are back! Starting with Biffle and Kurt in Duel tonight. Probably do one more each based on leans here. Good luck all!

**sweep** · 02-20-14, 09:42 AM

nationwide practice starts in 20min on FS1

**JayHorne3** · 02-20-14, 09:44 AM

I don't know about you guys but I may not place any more wagers on the 1st duel. I have Biffle at +1650. The rest of the field has horrible odds and it is damn near an All-Star lineup

For the 2nd duel, I have McMurray +1100, Bowyer +825, and Kurt B +850

Dual 1 is more stacked, but I had a lot easier time making my selections in that one than dual 2.
Khanes never been good at this kind of racing, Logono has no friends,
dillion on pole already, and stewart has to go to the back anyway.
So that left me with the Biff and Kyle as my selections with Matt as my break even bet.
I thought Kyles odds were better than expected when they first open at +750.
In dual 2 my only pick so far is Brad

**sweep** · 02-20-14, 10:23 AM

sorry guys my local paper had 10am,, noon is correct

No worries man the last few years i remember thursdays practices starting around 9-10 am, but I guess with the night races they got more time.

**5mike5** · 02-20-14, 10:38 AM

Fukkin sweeper is getting into it isn't he? Yes sir. I love it.

Yeah I'm not sure what I'm doing. Maybe not much with the duels I'll just decide later. I never like the odds on them but usually have to have a little something. Longest stretch of racing all year starts tonight, id like not to lose 2-3k b4 the big money race even starts Sunday. . Lol. I'll have way to much on a crapshoot cause I can't help myself on the 500
