I think Mark Martin is a great play going from 25/1 now up to 18/1... And after qualifying new odds for my newest eligible Longshot... Paul Menard (60/1) He looked great in practice and started at 50/1 and was just bumped up 10 more.. I wish I could find a book. that would allow to pick the top 10, and sorta like the lottery the more amount of cars you get right the more money you get.
