    Anybody lookin' at manufacturers?

    1.80 for Chev looks a little weak...if it climbs ill maybe take it.

    i'm looking at Ford @ 3.40, just have a feeling and will play it in a small parlay with soccer picks.

    any thoughts?

    I was very keen on Ford early. Took it at +385

    Logic was all based around them already enjoying a cooling advantage, and NASCAR decreasing the grill air inlet size. So teams like Hendrick and RCR (and all the Toyotas) who had probably been running right on the limit cooling wise to compete with Ford already, might be disproportionately hurt.

    Plus, the last few laps is when having power really counts, and I believe the Fords are a little more likely than others to be able to maintain their power when pushed to red hot for the last 5-10 miles.

    Night race obviously takes away some of that advantage though... possibly just about all of it.

    The Fords are still the fastest though, and their secondary level teams are all looking racy too, which makes up for the extra Chevy numbers I think. So I'm still happy to be on Ford at +385, just not as excited about it as yesterday.
