    MICHIGAN--5mike5

    Alright guys, were are off to MICHIGAN this weekend after another successful race last Sunday....And again, winning at Michigan is way more about having the best winning strategy, than it is being the best and fastest car on any given raceday...just have to find the right combination of the 2....and alot of bettors will be suckered into several drivers that will be WAY overvalued this weekend because of past results here, but are in no shape to win races unless like previously stated, they luck into a strategy call...so at least think about you picks very hard from more than just that this weekend

    The nationwide series will also be running from Michigan on Saturday afternoon, with Cup on the regular time on Sunday afternoon

    MICHIGAN is a 2-mile D-shaped Oval and has 18 degrees of banking in all 4 turns that are identical, the start/finish line has 12 degrees and the backstretch has just 5 degrees of banking..track is mostly known for its wide racing grooves and very high speed banking

    GOODLUCK to everybody this weekend and hope we can all cash in big again...not going to be an easy race to predict let me warn u in advance, but I did have my biggest profit winning race (up to that point anyways) last season with JR, so i do love this place

    LETS GO GET'EM!!!!

    gonna need some decectives to find out if anything is said about Toyota engines this week...i wish i knew already to be honest but if it was a 4-race plan be suprised to see them change it...guess we will see how much clout the drivers have with coach

    U guys see Hamlins Quote after pocono???

    "I WOULD RATHER BLOW-UP LEADING"

    something tells me they will do everything to get those horses back, but just not sure its their call...actually i know its not...but again michigan not a place u want to be lacking

    yeah i understand especially why denny is so damn pissed off.....2nd-43rd means nothing to that team...its win or go home next 12 weeks

    after i saw his quote i thought " u better ask ur teammate how leading the race and blowing up few weeks ago feels he may disagree"

    He does need top 10's too. As they need in top 20. Best thing for him is top 10 guys winning and not those looking at a wild card spot like Stewart

    Well yeah but if he he gets wins he will be top 20. But he can't finish last and blow up either. Tough spot to be in. Think once he Gets at least 1 win he will agree top 10s are the priority. Won't make chase without both

    Just don't think Hamlin is running well enough to contend for wins yet. Still a long way to go for him and some better tracks. However I am not backing him until I see a more complete race from that #11 team.

    Wonder why there is no golf forum here. Always fun to take a few shots at some big prices.

    i disagree, hes ran top 5 just about every single race since return....if he had horsepower last week i think he would have been there too contending...if u run up front he can win imo but he is being over valued the reason i never hit last week....and especially without horses non of them can win without strategy calls which is always possible at MIS

    Nice I remember betting Bubba in 2011 as well. Wasnt pre tourney I think the last day at around 8-1 or so. Id love to hear any opinions from you as well as anyone on this weeks tourney. I know very little about golf as well. I see odds are up with Tiger as the 5-1 chalk, then 22-1 on up.

    Those odds look comparable to what a restrictor plate race would be. To many cars under 10-1 though.

    I hit Snedeker +3000 and D. Johnson +4500. Both guys are very capable so I will roll the dice.

    of course he will, but he wont open at 5-1

    books are so clueless about nascar

    any driver thats a favorite at a track they have never won a race on is just stupid...especially when they have had 20 or so cracks at it...i mean come on....i say this every year about him here, cause hes always the favorite no matter what

    yeah i know u werent, just baffles me....of course im sure public that just bets on nascar as a hobby take him weekly so in their best interests

    he opened +750 last year as fav @ dimes for Spring race, but with toyotas being down this year he probably open lower than that
