5mike5 · 03-22-14, 06:32 PM

that was just amazing....this track just has it all fellas

good grief what a race the last 50 laps were unbelievable

damn CUP boys gonna have to do something special to beat THAT

Optional · 03-22-14, 06:42 PM

Exciting finish with Harvick doing all he could think to get around for those final laps.

Thought Larson had blown it when he went defensive on last lap. Thought he just needed to do what he done every other lap.

Did anyone back him? After all the money we have lost on that bugger as a group over the last 4 weeks I almost feel like slapping the little bastard! If the racing wasnt so good.

5mike5 · 03-22-14, 06:44 PM

not to mention we all rode his tailpipe last year a longtime too...

he was always 2x the odds he was today though

Think it was just last week i said to you "I think he will win in Cup before NW. That turner/scott nationwide car just isn't good enough to win a battle for the win"

Only the two where I bet Kenseth lost.

5mike5 · 03-22-14, 07:28 PM

talk about a wide open race for tomorrow....

....time to fire away

could even be a nice underdog loading roster day besides the few earlys

DiggityDaggityDo · 03-22-14, 08:23 PM

Sounds like I missed a good one.

best nascar race of any kind all year imo

Slimpickens · 03-22-14, 08:47 PM

I didnt get a chance to watch any of the Sprint Cup practice guess I missed alot. Logano must be going to a back up car?? I see he reopened at 25-1. Brad k up to 12-1?

5mike5 · 03-22-14, 08:50 PM

odds are gonna go all over the place in this 1 by racetime....

yeah logano going to Back-up car and rear of the field...his odds were shocking to me this week being so low

5mike5 · 03-22-14, 08:51 PM

Keslowski's odds never should have been single digits either

hes never finished better than 18th at fontana

not all his fault but those were really low imo

Oh I agree. Dont know why he was taking so much action pre qualifying. kicking myself for not taking Jeff gordon pre qualifying. I believe he was approaching 20-1 at dimes. Just have to let him beat me now at the odds he will be.

5mike5 · 03-22-14, 09:01 PM

yeah but he might get worse...never know at dimes odds will change a whole lot from when they open again til closer to racetime...

i dont see him getting alot of action, and at single digits its unbettable i agree...

maybe wrong but think he def sees double-digits odds again

Jmac926 · 03-22-14, 09:05 PM

First of all, ive never enjoyed a race more that i didnt win. Man that was exciting! Second why is joey going to a backup? I keep reading hes going to a back up but no where says why. Must have wrecked but i didnt see practice and would like to know what happened?

Slimpickens · 03-22-14, 09:05 PM

Id need 12-1 to take Gordon. Maybe if one or 2 guys get crushed at dimes. We'll see.

DDT · 03-22-14, 09:20 PM

Has anyone else noticed the NASCAR guys kicking ass in the brackets contest?

WolverineFan · 03-22-14, 09:36 PM

L ogano slide up n the wall late n practice ..think he cut a tire or something and he got up against the wall so he having go backup

5mike5 · 03-22-14, 10:54 PM

this is just 1 of the best racetracks we go to all year long...

they can race anywhere

1/2 thru the race cars wake up that havent been up front all damn day

track changes when rubber'd in

tires are questionable it seems

I CANT WAIT....

5mike5 · 03-22-14, 10:56 PM

HARVICK got crushed from +975 early betting...now almost a jimmie type fav

harvick is deserving though imo, he might end up the race fav by closing time

its get those 2 early or not at all...geeeez

5mike5 · 03-22-14, 11:06 PM

not sure how must trust anybody can have in stewart's health yet, but with him and #4 sharing everything, and him winning 2 of last 4 races here, tough to pass on him at those longer-shot odds he is at being in the 20s...

JayHorne3 · 03-23-14, 12:17 AM

Lot of concern about blown tires tomorrow. Not that this race will need anymore excitement but that could definitely be an x factor.

Both Penske cars were blowing out left rear tires after about 10 laps. I mean constantly. Maybe 5 or 6 times between the two cars.

They kept increasing air pressure and trying again but kept not making more than 10-12 laps.

Logano actually blew a left front (not rear) just before practice ended and tagged the wall. Not badly by the looks.

There was a mention during practice they might be swapping the rear end housings on both cars before the race. Not sure if that sends them to the back anyway.

A lot of cars were having similar tread lifting issues, not all of them, but a lot of teams. But Penske was by far the biggest problem with the tires.

Hmmm. Maybe not a bad idea.

I saw him walking on TV yesterday... think its the first time Ive seen them show that this year. And I think there has been a media conspiracy to talk down the injury for months.

So that tv shot makes me think his health may be getting back to near an acceptable level.

hawk 5 · 03-23-14, 07:49 AM

liking the 24 car. hes fast and knows how to take care of his car.

shaunovery · 03-23-14, 08:35 AM

Fontana

Jimmie +600
Harvick +900
Kyle +900

milehigh · 03-23-14, 09:02 AM

Took some picks early in the week--some have shot me in the foot but I still don't feel terrible about them:

To win:

Kenseth +875 (2 units)
Logano +1250 (1 unit)
T. Stewart +2750 (2 units)

Early H2H odds (Hamlin and K Busch hurt me!):

C. Edwards over R. Newman -115 (10 units)
D. Hamlin over J. Gordon -115 (3 units)
Kurt Busch over Bowyer -105 (3 units)
M. Ambrose over Almirola -120 (3 units)

Props:

T. Stewart finishing position UNDER 10.5 -115 (4 units closing parlay from Nationwide yesterday)

I've been doing well on the top 3 finishers bets but haven't done any yet...should have pounced on Harvick earlier as I knew he's good at this track and he's my horse to win the Championship this year. What else do we have out there???

GP · 03-23-14, 10:17 AM

nice plays MileHigh.
i really like the Smoke prop.

mine so far
to win:
#20 +825
#11 +1360
#99 +1575
#5 +2000
#42 +8000

h2h:
#17 +110 > #3

top 3:
#88 +385
#42 +1900

group b:
#11 +350
#99 +375

Good luck!

Royfus777 · 03-23-14, 10:23 AM

Alot of value here today, hope it pans out! Ended up taking alot of under dogs gl everybody!

18 over 20 +105
20 over 4 +135
99 over 24 +120
99 over 15 EV
88 over 2 -130

milehigh · 03-23-14, 10:38 AM

Also like yours GP...I actually added the 88 and 42 for top 3's but hadn't posted yet. Also have Harvick top 3 +165 to close out a parlay from yesterday.

Looking at Vickers top 3 at +1350. He ran really well at Michigan last year (different tracks, I know) and is one of those guys that can drive the high groove. Thoughts anyone?
