    The COCA-COLA 600

    Alright fellas we are staying out in CHARLOTTE another week for the longest race of the year the coke 600. This is the greatest race weekend of the year folks, we also have xfinity series on sat, the INDY 500 afternoon, and the monoco GP.

    Charlotte is a 1.5 mile oval with 24 degrees of banking in all 4 turns and 5 degrees of banking on all the straights. This race will had a 4th stage added (sadly) last week, so there will be 4 stages of 100 laps each. Little over half the race is run in the evening and the rest under the lights at night.

    With this race being 400 laps (600 miles) there are usually a lot of mechanical and tire issues involved and taking care of the equipment is a must. Along with minimizing mistakes on pit lane. It's also notorious for long green flag runs. It's a difficult race to handicap for all those reasons, but we have a good idea of what teams have had speed on intermediate racetracks. Odds for starters will
    be very low for most of those contenders.


    GOODLUCK this weekend!!!!

    Also:

    this week will be a little diff for targeting some of my fav picks early, as i have 2 open parlays on their last-leg from the truck race last weekend, so I'm going into the week with some idea who I'm gonna use to close them with. With opening odds being so low on most favs they will come in very handy. So my thought lrocess on who I take early will be depending on that as well knowing when parlayables post on raceday I have almost all options open at a lot better odds. But still gonna be taking a few early at diff price ranges.

    **LATE NEWS**

    nascar is now adding VHT grip (used at Bristol last month for the Charlotte race this weekend. It will be added to the high groove for added grip... I don't like this late move , the high groove always comes in late in the race at Charlotte and now will probably just get worse. Sucks. Guess they are trying something since they can't fix the real problem of the cars aero til next season (hopefully)

    if I didn't have these parlays on last-leg to close I would have jumped on truex when they opened, but I already have a plan to use him in 1 of those. Maybe Larson too. Will end up with 2x or more their opening odds, depending on how I use them

    McMurray +4000


    Just like those odds on him and gut was thinking of him this week too.

    He's had 7 top 10s in the last 10 races. Charlotte is the only non-plate track he was won on more than once.

    I like the 40/1

    I'm a bit short on deposited funds and bitcoin, so most of my Coke600 bets will have to wait until Xfin, F1 and Indy are over (and I've collected winnings ).

    personally already have my longer shots I think but really anybody is worth a look that has any speed. There have been some real surprises In This race over the years. And first time winners as well

    Jones just needs to learn how to finish races stronger

    I was leaning toward a play on Harvick until his odds dropped to next to nothing. Unfortunately didn't get in on the early odds. Was lucky and I mean lucky in the All Star Race to hit the Kyle double last weekend. Have a feeling Truex might go back-to-back in the 600. If you had to play only one out of Truex, Kyle Busch, Harvick or Jimmie to win who would it be? I might just ride with one since odds will be pretty low on all four. Thanks!

    wow that is a tough choice.

    Wouldnt be kyle Busch just because he's never won a real race at Charlotte before even though his car looks ok

    i guess if I HAD to choose just 1, it would be truex.

    Even though any of them could win being they should be the top 4 favs

    Love your Blaney bet in Xfinity. I was going to bet him after qualifying but not at +275. I kind of like Austin at +600. Hamlin and Harvick hovering around +450 too. Brad plus 400 coming from back of field. Thought Austin looked good this morning. Last minute Thoughts?

    don't love any of the odds now to be honest, I did pretty well on early wagers for this. so would probably try A.Dillon since he's 2x the odds of Blaney right now. Even though I do like blaney. Plus Dillon won last 2 xfinity races at Charlotte. I have Keslowski but coming the back is tough here.

    I think I just need to dodge Harvick/Hamlin

    goouck with what u decide!
