Budweiser-shootout--5mike5

[5mike5]

finishing up my roster right now.....

[DDT]

Mike, I'm glad to see you don't wait until the last possible second to release your picks!

[MatI]

Hey Mat. Its almost race time finally! I took a couple H2H myself:

Kahne +105 vs Edwards
McMurray -125 vs Biffle
Menard +105 vs Dinger

I like the KK pick, he should do well if he can stay out of trouble. But man, these races are such a coin flip.

I think I might just take Ryan Newman -115 vs Martin Truex Jr - start off slowly.

Mike, im waiting to see what you take before i pull the trigger.

[5mike5]

Bud shootout time! Great to see other Marcos fans too! I raced against him several years ago, well before he was a star. I wouldnt touch him for the win though, he has pretty bad luck on the plate tracks. I'm going to stay off the win results for this race but might take a couple H2H's. Anyone jumping on any of the H2H matchups and any thoughts? I havent seen too much of the practice sessions and feel like im not in the groove yet on who is good and who is not.

Don't be talkin like that! 2012 is the year all his luck is good.

What series did you race against him in? Open wheelers?

I actually like the following. Any you boys have any thoughts?? Ryan Newman -115 vs Martin Truex Jr AJ Allmendinger -135 vs Paul Menard

Didn't like +115/-115 odds on anything for this race. Need lucky dip odds for this one I think.

Gone with Biff to win it, with a small bet on Ambrose, Gordo, Newman and Edwards.

Don't get me wrong, I think he will have a great year this year. I'm hoping so anyway! But he just always seems to hit trouble at the plate tracks, usually none of his doing.

Raced against him in Formula Ford.

[MatI]

Thanks for posting mike! On this with you -

newman OVER truez jr.

[5mike5]

Thanks for posting mike! On this with you - newman OVER truez jr.

keep in mind i usually pick the +100 and worse in matchups just to try and hit'em big on the parlay when they hit....i dont study those at all just bet 1 per race for fun....

its like just 50.00 to win 355 on the H2H parlay

Told you above. "Gone with Biff to win it, with a small bet on Ambrose, Gordo, Newman and Edwards."


Did everyone's bets escape that wreck?

[NEEDMORECOFFEE]

2 down. 2 to go. Man I knew to stay away from this race

[Optional]

Marcos saying he has zero brakes.

He don't need no stinkin brakes!



Wonder if it's a breakage, driving, or design issue.

[5mike5]

i lost kennseth but that it....could have been WAY worse,.....

BIFF is 1 of my big winners to opti!!

mcmurray is STOUT

[MatI]

He don't need no stinkin brakes!

Exactly what his crew told him! They were reminding him brakes never feel great at SS's. But he was adamant something was wrong with 'em.

They brought him to check it out. Sounds like they bled them and it seems better for him now.

[bswagos]

I'm so glad they have an experienced expert like Danica to give us updates

[5mike5]

McMurray and harvick are STOUT

[5mike5]

I'm not a big fan of this style at all. But it's still good to have racing back on!

[5mike5]

its a little bit of both which is fine by me....its not tradition "pack" racing thats for sure....i like the mix it has so far

[bswagos]

I'm not a big fan of this style at all. But it's still good to have racing back on!

Just because it isn't Saturday night at the short track doesn't mean it isn't good!
