Alright guys were off to KENTUCKY Speedway in spart la, ky .this weekend for some Saturday NIGHT racing!!!! Trucks, Nationwide, and CUP will be in action, all 3 races from Kentucky speedway Thursday-Saturday for 3 str8 races under the lights!!! cant ask for a better racing weekend than that! nice tune-up for the daytona night race the week after too

KENTUCKY is a 1.5 tri-oval racetrack...the banking is the same in all 3 turns @ 14 degrees, with the frontstretch banking @ 8 degress, and the back @ only 4 degrees....the front measures out at 1,662 feet long, and the back a touch shorter at 1,600 feet long...

remember the truck/nationwide series have been racing at this track since 2000, while the CUP just got its first event here in the 2011 season having only 1 CUP race per season...has made a differnce in the past 2 years with nationwide experienced drivers fairing very well and winning both, but other teams will catch up very quick if they havent already, being its just a cookie cutter racetrack like alot of others it wont take them long...probably a bit of both should be expected

As always everybody's leans and opinions are always welcome and encouraged...lets keep up the good work fellas and make it a good weekend!!!

ive already watched the few races from here this morning and still looking over my notes from both races and my driver notebooks...thinner than usual for sure, not use to a light study and light week of tape, but will be a nice change for sure

GOODLUCK!!!!

Let's get some this week boys

Couple of early notes:

4 out of the last 5 Nationwide winners have started from the front row (3 from the pole)

Only 5 cup drivers have finished in the top 10 in both cup races at Kentucky (Brad K, Jimmie, Kyle, Kenseth, and Gordon)

Denny Hamlin is the only driver to start outside the top 10 and lead more than 1 lap (5 total)

[5mike5]

im thinking odds wont be very good, but guess we never really have an idea til we see them....werent bad last year but that doesnt matter much

[5mike5]

yeah nationwide has several different winners besides logano's stretch here of 3 in a row few years ago

since its a short study week of Cup, i might even put some time into nationwide this week...

[DDT]

I think we are due for a winner this week boys!

I'm thinking the same. I may just have 3 drivers this week, so I hope they aren't too bad.

[shaunovery]

maybe a fuel mileage race this week only have a possible 5 drivers I'm betting depending on odds most probably only take 3

[Optional]

Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.

Then Silverstone GP on Sunday.

What a weekend.

I like it.

[5mike5]

Yeah hopefully they aren't too bad. Just depends for me. I think thre will be new players so bad odds for favs might just be a blessing. Just depends I guess this is 1 week I'm not sure who will be where

Thanks for posting the schedule appreciate it

What a weekend.

I like it.

Really is a great weekend of racing...I'm fired up!!!!

[5mike5]

Not too long til the truck race from Eldora dirt track next month. That is gonna be a wild wild race to see..would like to go and see this 1 in person

[shaunovery]

as Kansas and Kentucky very simular tracks

why is Kyle good round Kentucky but awful at Kansas

[5mike5]

I'm not a huge believer in similar tracks meaning some1 is good at 1 means they are another. Just depends I guess on the driver and track. Just proves it since banking in all turns is only 1 degree difference between the tracks too. But surfaces are also a big factor imo. So many variables.

[5mike5]

Shaun Is that F1 race near this weekend a good 1 or follow the leader track?

some drivers say it's it the best f1 circuit a true high speed test with lots of overtaking places

[5mike5]

GP made a good point in other thread to remember about qualifying here for 1st race @ Kentucky, it was RAINED OUT



so those starting positions are meaningless if ur looking at how well any1 qualifies here...

I'm on board. Now tell me who's good there so I can have a wager or 2 on it

[shaunovery]

last 4 races winners have come between red bull and ferrari only 3 drivers to contend this week vettel,webber,alonso preference is for vettel with a saver on webber {webber won last yr**saying that lotus say they are coming with there biggest upgrade of the season

[onlooker]

Kyle Busch +700 (WH)
Brad Keselowski +1200 (WH)

[onlooker]

Stations has Kyle @ 4/1 and Brad K. @ 8/1.

[5mike5]

Yikes

figured the small sample of 2 races will hurt odds but will help if they overvalue those 2 everywhere. At least WH isn't bad

[5mike5]
