    tied for 4th @ the moment at dimes, but he should drop alot...

    theres NO BASIS for it at all, besides the 1-lap practice sheets he was top 5 most all of them....

    that wouldnt even help his GWC chances

    bookd are just clueless, thats why they need us to set their prices right for them

    he finished 2nd like 5-6 years ago and not a top 5 since...so its not previuos success here either

    just goes to show what i say all the time...

    1-lap practice sheets books REALLY pay attention to them...and they are USELESS unless u maybe bet qualifying cause thats all they are is qualifying runs most of the time

    and so does joe "im clueless" non nascar fan public

    only thing that even matters a little is 10-lap averages, and even that depends on the racetrack cause at least ur keeping ur speed for a little bit of a distance...

    Why has Logano dropped since qualifying? Something I'm missing? I thought betting him early was a smart move...oh well.

    well thats not THAT big a deal, still doesnt validate the odds...not even close

    Didn't realize. Got started looking at odds late. I took him +1000 before qualifying and can get him at +1200 now.

    oh srry i thought u meant begining of the week Pig...

    just add a few bucks and make up the diff...wouldnt take much...if it even makes that big a differnce to ya...

    still not that bad though...hell we all miss early bets every week...thats why i had to add to kahne, i bet him +975 early, and added at +1300 already and he may still drop....but logano/edwards plays made up for that and much more

    considered using him as cover if the #s work out but doubt i will unless i add another driver or something and #s still work out to where any of my plays payoff

    I read that the last four times that JJ's had the fastest 10-lap practice speed, he's won the race.

    Boy - I couldn't disagree with this guy more.

    NASCAR heads to Vegas on Sunday
    By: Brian Graham
    StatFox.com

    The NASCAR circuit stays on the West Coast as the teams travel north from Phoenix to Sin City for Sunday's Kobalt 400. Las Vegas Motor Speedway is a 1.5-mile, D-shaped oval track completed in 1996. It was built with bankings measuring a hefty 20° on turns, and 9° banking on the frontstretch and backstretch, which are both exactly 3,330 feet (0.63 miles). The speedway is always rocking with a seating capacity exceeding 250,000 fans, and Matt Kenseth is the defending champion of this race.

    Drivers to Watch

    Tony Stewart (25/1) -
    Two poor starts to the 2014 season have certainly affected Stewart's odds in this race from last year when he went off at a much more chalky 8-to-1 price. However, this is a driver that has a pair of top-2 finishes at this track over the past three years, placing second in 2011 before winning the race in 2013. He actually has eight top-7 finishes in 15 starts in Las Vegas, and with odds that aren't likely to be this favorable again, now is the time to put your largest wager on Stewart, who is our pick to win Sunday's race.

    Exactly - Why in the world would you recommend this to readers following you???? He also recommended a 1 unit play on Burton. Not sure I would want to do a full unit on that one too.

    Wow I just don't see it. Wouldn't suprise me I guess. But those odds on him are god awful imo. Id have to parlay him winning with a h2h or something.

    GL though buddy he can do it for sure. Maybe I should look to a parlay with him!

    Guy is completely clueless. U need to stop reading that whole site. If they let him do their NASCAR write-ups they all have to be terrible

    These guys are using some better logic:

    PredictionsBob Pockrass: Carl Edwards.
    Edwards has a win and two fifth-place finishes in his last three Cup races at Vegas. He knows how to get around the place. This will be the weekend that Roush Fenway shows that it has a handle on the new aero rules, and with the help of solid pit calls from crew chief Jimmy Fennig, Edwards will wind up in victory lane.
    Jeff Owens: Jimmie Johnson. It’s tempting to pick Kenseth to repeat or Hamlin to regain his momentum, but no one has been better over the years at Las Vegas than Johnson. And giving him and crew chief Chad Knaus seven hours to figure out a track or a new rules package is asking for trouble. Plus, Kobalt Tools is one of Johnson’s sponsors, so Jimmie haters and conspiracy theorists already have their fingers poised above their keyboards, ready to strike.

    No media member puts more effort into covering NASCAR than Bob Pockrass. He received NASCAR's media award last year. He's one of the most knowledgeable, too.
