not sure how must trust anybody can have in stewart's health yet, but with him and #4 sharing everything, and him winning 2 of last 4 races here, tough to pass on him at those longer-shot odds he is at being in the 20s...

Both Penske cars were blowing out left rear tires after about 10 laps. I mean constantly. Maybe 5 or 6 times between the two cars.

They kept increasing air pressure and trying again but kept not making more than 10-12 laps.

Logano actually blew a left front (not rear) just before practice ended and tagged the wall. Not badly by the looks.

There was a mention during practice they might be swapping the rear end housings on both cars before the race. Not sure if that sends them to the back anyway.

A lot of cars were having similar tread lifting issues, not all of them, but a lot of teams. But Penske was by far the biggest problem with the tires.

Hmmm. Maybe not a bad idea.

I saw him walking on TV yesterday... think its the first time Ive seen them show that this year. And I think there has been a media conspiracy to talk down the injury for months.

So that tv shot makes me think his health may be getting back to near an acceptable level.

Took some picks early in the week--some have shot me in the foot but I still don't feel terrible about them:

To win:

Kenseth +875 (2 units)
Logano +1250 (1 unit)
T. Stewart +2750 (2 units)

Early H2H odds (Hamlin and K Busch hurt me!):

C. Edwards over R. Newman -115 (10 units)
D. Hamlin over J. Gordon -115 (3 units)
Kurt Busch over Bowyer -105 (3 units)
M. Ambrose over Almirola -120 (3 units)

Props:

T. Stewart finishing position UNDER 10.5 -115 (4 units closing parlay from Nationwide yesterday)

I've been doing well on the top 3 finishers bets but haven't done any yet...should have pounced on Harvick earlier as I knew he's good at this track and he's my horse to win the Championship this year. What else do we have out there???

Also like yours GP...I actually added the 88 and 42 for top 3's but hadn't posted yet. Also have Harvick top 3 +165 to close out a parlay from yesterday.

Looking at Vickers top 3 at +1350. He ran really well at Michigan last year (different tracks, I know) and is one of those guys that can drive the high groove. Thoughts anyone?
