    Michigan...

    Alright fellas we are off to MICHIGAN international speedway this Father's Day weekend as usual with All 3 series in action. On Saturday we have a double-header with the Xfinity series at Michigan and the trucks will be racing Saturday night from Gateway as a stand alone race. The Cup series will be mis afternoon on Sunday

    MICHIGAN is a 2-mile long D-Shaped asphalt oval. The banking is 18 degrees in all the turns, 12 degrees in the start/finish section, and 5 degrees on the backstretch. And strategy is alive and always in play at this racetrack as well, including fuel mileage, but with the stages maybe not as much but we will just have to see how the teams react to that part. And Tire wear is always a major factor at Michigan.

    THe same cast of drivers will be favored when odds list this tomorrow, Penske card, Kyle Larson, Busch, Harvick, truex ect. And most have won here before, including Larson's only win believe into or not. Should be another great week and let's hope we have another big winner and payoff!

    As always, everybody race opinions and picks are always welcomed and encouraged. More Inormation and opinions than the better.

    GOODLUCK!!!!

    Still haven't made an early Cup plays this week, which is a first for me this seaso but that can change any min. Lol. I just wasn't tempted much by anything early and wanted to see the early market movement. And there hasn't been much yet. I might still take 1-2 early win bets, but In hoping to have 1-2 parlays to close from the lower series again this week and betting accordingly. so with that in mind my plays have to be well thought out in case I do have them.

    Yeah hopefully it sees me well re-charged for next week

    But honestly, it's not right and even now after being up for only 4 hours I feel like a nap. Anyway, might be good for the flight tomorrow I guess.

    Michigan has always been the most difficult track to handicap for me. Like Mike said. Tires, fuel mileage, the one thing you can predict here is unpredictably. I have a big play pending on US open golf (sorry, wrong forum I know) on Fowler to win for 3 units so I may sit this weekend out. Might be tough to lay off a night race. Wish it was the Xfinity boys going at night but it's truck in the eve, correct?? Might make a small play on the Kyle B/Kyle L Saturday/Sunday combo for a unit and tail Mike's truck picks for a half unit each or so just for some action. He may win it again but don't think I'll be playing Bell at +165.

    I'm not usually a big traveller myself so it feels kind of wild to just pop off to the other end of the world a couple of times within a few months too

    There is about 16 or 17 forum posters all going to be there this next week. Going to be fun!


    Unfortunately I didn't think it through well enough or would have broken my return trip in SF next weekend and went to the Sonoma race, instead of just having a quick stopover on Friday night. Rang United today and tried to change but they said no

    That would have been sweet. We were out there in Vegas during race week. It was pretty cool. About 10 of the top drivers paraded up and down the strip with their cars. I believe it was 2012 and Smoke won. We didn't go to the race and I wish we would have because the weather was perfect. I do remember cashing a ticket on Smoke to win though and watching the race at the Mirage so that was pretty cool. Nothing like being there though. I found that out after they opened the F1 track near my home town in Texas.

    Im not that confident in truck race tonight to be honest. Rarely I regret many early plays but not loving those I took this week early. I Like xfinity much more, but who knows maybe opposite happens. Lol.

    Agree ahout Bell odds being so low. Leaning praying Sauter at 2x the odds but have to see what they are when parlayables lost later

    On a side not for tomorrow's CUP race:

    It's gonna be TOUGH as nails to pick a winning roater with what odds will be and everybody u can think of looks good this week. Hopefully I can muster up as least 1 parlay from today's races that sure would help the cause

    Well all things considered the top guys I like are just way too low of odds for my liking at a reactrack that probably will have tons of strategy calls to try and get track position all race long. And for the first time in months I'm not working with any parlays to close from the lower series so that doesn't help matters. Just gonna try and play the best few guys on value and hope for the best this week. Even if I picked 6-7 guys I still wouldn't be confident at this racetrack. So fingers crossed and I'll post as I make decisions.

    So far:

    harvick (+800)
    elliot (+1300)
    logano (+1300)
    jones (+3300)

    again not going with top favs single, as odds are just too low for my liking. Too much can happen here strategy wise. Will add another play or 2 later this morning.
