INDIANAPOLIS (the brickyard)--

**docwatson** · 07-18-17, 03:42 PM

Okay 5Mike5, I'll be on a getaway this Sunday but the laptop will be up and running.

Kyle Larson is probably the quick go to here. In 3 starts he has finished in the top ten all three times with a 5th spot last year. I don't think but CAN'T count out Kyle Busch's bid for three in a row here.

Most time this race is won by the teams running the best, and no one is doing much better than the 78 of Martin Truex or Kyle Larson.

Longshot if there is such a thing with this guy would be Matt Kenseth. Never won here, but through his career 47% of the time he has finished in the top five. Gibbs getting stronger and he has gotten better, ad this might be his last best chance at kissing the bricks.

Best of Fortune Men!

Doc

**5mike5** · 07-18-17, 05:42 PM

Good stuff Doc!

I agree Larson and Kyle B also the guys I think have a great chance. And Truex u can say everybweek loke larson. Just hope the odds aren't as god awful as I'm expecting. KENNSETH is a good choice as an outsider hoping his odds are decent on openers

You're a savant with the head to heads Mike

**5mike5** · 07-20-17, 05:17 AM

***** Disclaimer******

keep in mind that i won't be playing Larson, Kyle B, or Truex early because I already have a big parlay on last-slot to fill from the truck race last night that will give me massively better on odds them on raceday when parlayables post. So it's not that I won't have 2 or all 3 of them, it's just i am waiting on parlayables to close the parlay, which don't post til raceday

**5mike5** · 07-20-17, 04:22 PM

Kennseth(+1650)

blaney (+3300)

**will for sure have 42/18 and maybe 78 because of my big longshot tparlay from trucks on last-slot I'll close on Sunday. I'll get amazing odds on any or combo of them

**5mike5** · 07-21-17, 04:25 PM

Xfinity reminder:

im not paying much attention to practices from today (I rarely do anyway), but they are running a retricor plate in Xfinity for the Indy race tomorrow. So that should prevent anybody from getting a huge lead and drafting is probably gonna be a big factor. Won't know how it all will work til the real race starts of course. So this isn't gonna look like anything we have seen on a non Daytona/dega race before. Still think any change always leans toward experience more than anything but it's def not gonna be boring. Maybe add a longershot to 2 picks roster IF I think any longshots are worth it tomorrow.

**CUP cars will NOT running restrictor plates btw

The Xfin cars have body mods too. A larger spoiler is one of them.

Which sounds like it will make drafting more important too.

agree

tbis is gonna be a wild and cray race/experiment. Lol

drafting down the straights but it's so flat in the corners they have to back off the bumpers there. I didn't realize it was gonna be this crazy, maybe longershots do have a better chance since a lot of this is momentum and drafting?

well I already got Joey and parlaying Kyle. I might add a longshot if the odds are right

Not sure. JrM team looks like they have their act together though.

I tried parlaying Kyle with Cubs, but they were blown away so have nothing for now.

**5mike5** · 07-22-17, 01:57 PM

No idea what to expect in Xfinity race since first time they are ever running restrictor plates. Should be wild

**5mike5** · 07-23-17, 02:02 PM

Huge storm here

2-hour delay coming if it pours.

**shaunovery** · 07-23-17, 02:10 PM

Why start the race if they knew we were getting a storm

Looks like 1 hour of hail and rain with 2 hrs to dry ( 3 hour delay )

**5mike5** · 07-23-17, 03:34 PM

Drivers called to their cars!
