Chassis selections for Martinsville: see the list of many teams and what chassis were selected by the team to run at Martinsville Speedway for the Sprint Cup Series Race:
#1-Jamie McMurray: Crew Chief Kevin "Bono" Manion and the #1 McDonald's team will be bringing chassis #1116 to the Tums Fast Relief 500. This chassis was used for the first time last month at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
#2-Brad Keselowski: will race chassis PRS-803 during Sunday's Tums Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway. This is a new chassis to the #2 fleet.
#6-David Ragan: Primary: RK-747 Last ran Martinsville - finished eighth; Backup: RK-755 Last ran Richmond - finished fourth
#5-Mark Martin: Crew chief Lance McGrew has chosen Hendrick Motorsports Chassis No. 5-651 for Sunday's race at Martinsville. This is the same chassis Martin drove to a 10th-place finish at Martinsville in April.
#9-Marcos Ambrose: The #9 RPM team has prepared chassis No. 754 for the 500-lap race at Martinsville Speedway. This Stanley Ford Fusion has been run previously this season at the Martinsville spring race and both Dover (Del.) International Speedway and Pocono (Pa.) Raceway events.
#14-Tony Stewart: Chassis No. 14-587: This car made its debut in March 2010 at Martinsville Speedway, where it qualified fifth and finished 26th. Prior to Martinsville, Chassis No. 14- 587 never turned a wheel on the racetrack. With a new body honed in the wind tunnel, it was tested at The Milwaukee Mile June 1 in preparation for its second career start in June at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon. There, Chassis No. 14-587 earned a hard-fought second-place finish, for after starting 25th, it fell to 33rd after a lap 36 pit miscue on the team's first stop. Two late-race cautions allowed Stewart to regain his lost track position, and with a savvy two-tire pit call, Stewart wheeled Chassis No. 14-587 to pass second-place Kurt Busch on the penultimate lap. The car returned to New Hampshire for the first event of the 10-race Chase for the Championship, where in its third career start, it qualified third before leading three times for 100 laps. But while leading with less than two laps to go, it ran out of fuel. Stewart coasted around the 1.058-mile oval for the final circuit of the 300-lap race and finished 24th, the last driver on the lead lap. Clint Bowyer, who served as Stewart's primary competition for much of the race, wound up with the victory. Chassis No. 14-587 revisited Martinsville for round six of the Chase, where it qualified sixth and rallied back from two pit-road miscues during the race, but a flat right-front tire with less than 10 laps remaining relegated it to a 24th-place finish. With another new body, this car made its first start of 2011 and fifth overall at Phoenix International Raceway in February. It started 18th and led four times for 59 laps before an ill-timed caution period late in the race jettisoned solid pit strategy and left it with a seventh-place finish. Chassis No. 14- 587's second start of 2011 came at Richmond International Raceway back in April, where it qualified 31st and rallied its way to a ninth-place finish. The car sat idle until returning to Richmond in early September for it seventh career start where it logged its third straight top-10 finish.
#17-Matt Kenseth: RK-790 (brand new chassis)
#18-Kyle Busch: Chassis No. 315: This chassis will make its fourth-ever start in Sunday's TUMS Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway. In its first outing in July's Brickyard 400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Busch started a distant 29th but still managed to bring home a respectable 10th-place finish. Next up, No. 315 headed to Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, where Busch started 17th and went on to score his fourth win of the season in the Pure Michigan 400. In its most recent outing, Busch started eighth and finished a respectable 11th in the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon.
#20-Joey Logano: Chassis No. 309: This chassis will make its fourth-ever start in Sunday's TUMS Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway. In its first outing in June's 5-Hour Energy 500 at Pocono (Pa.) Raceway, Logano started 19th and finished 11th. Next up, No. 309 headed to Kentucky Speedway in Sparta for the inaugural Sprint Cup Series race at the 1.5-mile oval, where Logano started 15th and went on to finish 14th. In its most recent outing, Logano started 16th in the September race at Richmond (Va.) International Raceway and appeared headed for a solid top-15 finish midway through the race, but engine trouble forced him to retire on lap 296 of 400 and he placed 35th.
#22-Kurt Busch: will be racing the "PRS-755" Shell-Pennzoil Dodge Charger at Martinsville Speedway this weekend. This will be the first race for the "Double-Deuce" team with this chassis. However, teammate Brad Keselowski drove this car, dressed in the Miller Lite #2 colors, to a sixth-place finish from a 14th-place start in the Sept. 4 Advocare 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
#27-Paul Menard: will pilot chassis No. 349 from the Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stable. This #27 Chevy Impala was a brand new addition to the RCR fleet for the 2011 season and was last seen on track at Martinsville Speedway in April, where Menard started 16th and was forced to settle for a 38th-place result after on-track damages caused the motor to expire, prematurely ending the day for the team.
#29-Kevin Harvick: will race chassis No. 332 from the Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stable. It is the same chassis Harvick drove to his first NSCS win at Martinsville Speedway in April. The No. 29 team has utilized this Chevrolet a total of six times so far in 2011 earning two wins (Martinsville and Richmond International Raceway) and three top-five finishes. Harvick finished 12th at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in the team's most recent race with this car.
#31-Jeff Burton: will race chassis No. 317 from the Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stable. This #31 Chevy has seen on-track action on three previous occasions this season. The first competitive laps came at Bristol Motor Speedway in March where Burton started 20th and finished in the 17th position. The South Boston, Va., native drove this RCR entry to an 11th-place finish at Dover International Speedway in May and a 33rd-place finish at Pocono Raceway in June.
#33-Clint Bowyer: will pilot chassis No. 324 from the Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stable. This Chevy, built new in 2010, accumulated two top-10 finishes during the in 2010 NSCS season at Auto Club Speedway (started-13th, finished-second) and Texas Motor Speedway (started-7th, finished-7th). The five-time Sprint Cup Series race winner also drove this racer twice in 2011 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway (started-28th, finished-15th) and most recently at New Hampshire Motor Speedway when Bowyer ran out of gas while leading with two laps remaining, settling for a 26th-place finish.
#39-Ryan Newman: This will be the fourth start for Chassis No. 39-645 this season and the second start for the chassis at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway. The chassis made its first start in April at Martinsville, where Newman started second and finished 20th, two laps down. Newman led three laps and was in the top-10 for much of the first 300 laps of the 500-lap race, but a broken header pipe and a flat left-rear tire caused him to lose two laps. The next start for Chassis 39-645 was in July at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, where Newman started on the pole and led 118 of 301 laps en route to his 15th career Sprint Cup Series victory. The last on-track appearance for this chassis came in September at Loudon, where Newman started on the pole and led the first 62 laps before finishing a disappointing 25th. A cut tire with less than five laps remaining dropped Newman from 11th to 25th.
#42-Juan Pablo Montoya: Crew Chief Jim Pohlman and the #42 Target team are bringing chassis #1110 to Martinsville Speedway this weekend. This chassis was last run in September at New Hampshire, where Montoya started 31st and finished ninth. The chassis was also used in the first race at Loudon in July, and the first Martinsville event where Montoya finished fourth, overcoming a 27th-place qualifying effort.
#43-A.J. Allmendinger: The #43 Richard Petty Motorsports team has prepared chassis No. 729 for this weekend's event at Martinsville Speedway. This AdvoCare Ford Fusion was run previously this season at Phoenix Raceway, Martinsville, Darlington (S.C.) Raceway, Pocono (Pa.) Raceway and in New Hampshire.
#48-Jimmie Johnson: will drive chassis No. 653 in Sunday's race. He finished 11th in that chassis at Martinsville in April. Johnson finished 31st in backup chassis No. 590 at Richmond International raceway in September.
#88-Dale Earnhardt, Jr.: Crew chief Steve Letarte will unload Hendrick Motorsports Chassis No. 88-654 for this weekend's race at Martinsville Speedway. This will be the second time that Earnhardt has raced the car, which he drove earlier this season to a second-place finish at Martinsville.
#99-Carl Edwards: RK-791 This is a new car

Interesting how BK gets a new car and Kurt gets one of Brad's old ones.


"The No. 29 team has utilized this Chevrolet a total of six times so far in 2011 earning two wins (Martinsville and Richmond International Raceway) and three top-five finishes." <-- I bet they love that baby.

[Optional]

No qualifying. Start by points order. 1 practice session, maybe.

[hawk 5]

So far I have 48 +650, 11 +650, and 88 +2000. Going to add 1 more just can't decide if I want the 24 or the 18.

[hawk 5]

As good as Jimmie looks in practice it may not matter.

[Optional]

Going with your confidence Hawk, and adding to my Jimmie bet. Probably add Kesolowski +1800 too.

As far as the matchups. Thinking Smoke +100 over Harvick or Kyle -115 over Harvick, and Ambrose +130 over Dinger.

Not really hot for anything though. Still have the gut saying Kyle is about it.

[Optional]

Greek has Edwards at +1200 whilst 5D has him at +1700. Rest of market is pretty much in line. Greek is sharper imho and when they get that far different it might be worth taking notice of. Anyway, think I'll hit Edwards for a top 3 or top 5 or something if 5D ever get around to putting up the rest of the board today!

[hawk 5]

Kyle could come out and dominate this race from start to finish or go to the rear and never be heard from again. Gordon will probably run in top ten all day. Tough

[hawk 5]

Edwards doesn't have that great of a car but he has the #1 pit box. That will even him up a bit.

[Optional]

Good point. Might be what Greek linesman is thinking too.

[hawk 5]

So far I have 48 +650, 11 +650, and 88 +2000. Going to add 1 more just can't decide if I want the 24 or the 18.

Adding the 24 car at +775. GL all, in less you bet Kyle. Then I wish you ....

[yisman]

I bet JJ +400 and also field +1800 at DSI.

Field includes:

David Ragan +5000Paul Menard +5500AJ Allmendinger +6000Juan Pablo Montoya +6000Brian Vickers +6600David Reutimann +6600Marcos Ambrose +7500Regan Smith +15000

and the scrubs.

Odds should probably be at least 20/1 but oh well.

[Optional]

Prefer the +1800 on them over the +15000 on your lot!

[yisman]

Yeah, I don't think 18/1 is actually fair value though. Haven't done the math, but just eyeballing it, it looks low.

I did it because I like field bets and Ragan and Menard do have somewhat of a shot.

[Optional]

Field has an extra poor chance today. Too hard to pass to expect anyone starting in back half of field to do much. Particularly all lined up in points order.

[5mike5]

field has 0 chance today IMO

[yisman]

anyone willing to offer me better odds then, if they have 0% chance?

I want this group to win:


David Ragan +5000Paul Menard +5500AJ Allmendinger +6000Juan Pablo Montoya +6000Brian Vickers +6600David Reutimann +6600Marcos Ambrose +7500Regan Smith +15000

[5mike5]

im not that confident yis...lol

[Optional]

field has 0 chance today IMO

I started to type the same thing, but one of that group could luck into something if there is a wreck at the front or rain comes etc. I think 40 or 50/1 would need to be the money for me to be thinking it was value the way the cards are stacked though.

[yisman]

Give me 30/1.

[Optional]

OK... you can have 3 points against my 90 if you like

[yisman]

Found a 5 Dimes that has to be a mistake.


10/30/2011 1:30 PM SprintCup Motor Racing 7508 Tony Stewart #14* +130 vs Jeff Gordon #24
Risking $20.00 To Win $26.00


also taking:

10/30/11 1:30pm SprintCup Motor Racing 8562 Juan Pablo Montoya #42 -115* vs Paul Menard #27

and ambrose +125 over allmendinger (bodog)

[yisman]

OK... you can have 3 points against my 90 if you like

You're on. I'll send the 3 now

[Optional]

It might just bring some luck to your bet too. The way I've been running lately I could make anything lose with my magic bucks!

[yisman]

guess the 5 Dimes line is not a mistake, but it's a little bit off.

Arbitrage opportunity!

Gordon -115 at Bodog
Stewart +130 at 5 Dimes

[Optional]

I like the Ambrose over Dinger matchup a lot. Marcos has driven well here and has made up maybe 50 points on Dinger over the chase so far. And they start side by side. should be -115/-115 imho.

[Optional]

I'm guessing the books haven't been taken for too much by people arbing NASCAR... to date.

[yisman]

"Carl Edwards – The last thing Carl Edwards needed this weekend was all that rain."

http://ifantasyrace.com/2011/10/29/fantasy-nascar-predictions-martinsville-2-tums-fast-relief-500-chase-race-7-post-happy-hour/

lol. Actually, the rain was great for him. No way he was getting pole otherwise.

[Vegas39]

Newman + 150 over Edwards
