    DARLINGTON--5mike5

    alright boys night racing at DARLINGTON this weekend!!..gotta love the next 3 weeks of night racing starting in darlington, then all-star race, then the great coke 600 on memorial weekend...best month of the year right now imo...hope to keep up the momentum after dega last weekend, now hitting winners in 7 of 10 races this season...only hope it keeps up at this rate...

    remember everything moves up 1 day this week for nationwide/CUP schedules since races are on fri/sat night....going to start my routine later tonight to get an early start since its a day short this week...

    just want to thank everybody (that are useful i should say) for posting opinions/insight last week, and every week this year..i say it all the time, but this group really is great and helps out every single week with great insight and thoughts for the races...personally has made me a better capper thats for sure

    DARLINGTON is a 1.366 mile long oval...the banking is 25 degrees in turns 1 and 2, 23 degrees in turns 3 and 4...the frontstretch and backstretch are both the same length at 1,229 feet long

    ready to get the week started and hope everybody has a great and profitable race weekend!!!!!

    GOODLUCK guys!!!

    "we should make it into a figure-8 track"...

    most of those reporters had no idea he was being a sarcastic smart -azz...to beat it all he went on for a longtime and just kept it going...classic smoke..

    Mike, I know you put a lot of time into watching previous years races at these tracks. Where do you watch them? Do you have them recorded somewhere or do you watch them online?

    HAMLIN (+1200)

    BIFFLE (+950)

    KESLOWSKI (+1300)

    those are my early bets so far...may take 1 more but right now thats it

    will leave a little room in case odds get better, or if i will just use as cover wagers, but doubt any of these guys will be

    yeah, but hes been pretty here in just a few races(3)...all top 20s, 2 tops 10s, and up to 3rd last year...i liked the odds/momentum/track history so thats why i gave him a shot

    may just end up using to cover, but no idea yet

    couldnt argue those....hamlin was +1200, which was a great # for him here imo...be shocked if his odds get much better than that.....same with biffle, hes running too many top 5s to leave him off here as a 2-time winner..im taking a few more early id say just no decisions yet on who else

    like kyle and jimmy too of course(like everywhere), just havent decided for sure on rest of my early wagers

    i was pleasantly suprised by some of the early odds...even though Darlington is not an easy track to handicap, coming here 1 time a year doesnt help either...

    Took Denny Hamlin +1100 and Brad Keslowski +1300 early.......probably will wait for practice to get over with to play another driver or two......Having a tough time capping this race.

    The prices on Denny and Brad were too good to pass up.
