Jr Edwards and maybe kenseth worth a shot

5mike5 · 04-01-12, 09:48 AM

I also like Happy at 950.

some of those drivers not as obvious a pick at martinsville as u think imho......watching past races gives u MUCH more information than any stat...takes a ton of time every mon/tues but its well worth it come sunday..just like last years race looking at stats dont tell the story of the race and who was what

Hmmm...

5mike5 · 04-01-12, 12:56 PM

only bet stewart last minute becuase his odds, not cause i think he was a great pick

jimmy is only a cover wager

dont have kyle bet at alll either(hes never won a race here in any series)

and started making bet son Hamlin and gordon TUESDAY, never said i wouldnt bet them...if u notice i said i had to watch the races in same post..i said SOME of those u listed arent obvious early picks at martinsville, and they arent...i never said dont bet anybody

so what i said stands very true......

5mike5 · 04-01-12, 01:09 PM

wonder how many millions of dale jr. fans are on edge of the seat today????

Optional · 04-01-12, 01:34 PM

5mike5 · 04-01-12, 01:37 PM

only 13 crs on the lead lap at its not even halfway yet!!

unbelievable!

yisman · 04-01-12, 01:40 PM

yeah most are out of contention now

announcers gave bad info on kyle. they were saying he was like 70 laps down but I think he's only down like 29

5mike5 · 04-01-12, 01:43 PM

nah KYLE is 78 laps down

he was in garage long time

5mike5 · 04-01-12, 01:48 PM

poor ol' Kasey Kahne....unbelievable the luck this guy is having

no way he can make the chase imo already

yisman · 04-01-12, 01:50 PM

Montoya should have stayed in open wheel racing.....The guy is an accident waiting to happen every week.

he really is...EVERY single week

JackalLion · 04-01-12, 02:01 PM

The reason I said hmmm is because I figured after my initial post that you would eventually list your roster with the majority of the guys I mentioned. This is only because I realize that you are intelligent about NASCAR handicapping. I chose not to comment on your reply but just to wait and see what happened.

You also indicated that you knew what I was thinking and by your comment Im led to believe that you thought I was basing my picks on previous driver/track data. For Denny, Jimmy and Kyle I based my opinion on avg finish/win%/top 5 %. For Kyle I considered his overall driver rating, previous laps led and his driver ratings at the races he's finished well. As far as Tony and Harvick I think they have both had great momentum lately and are really clicking with their teams this season as well as being past winners here.

So yes in my opinion and I'm sure several other NASCAR handicappers opinion these drivers would be considered obvious picks to finish well at Martinsville.

I've found in the world of the internet and public forums that when people make a statement based on their opinion it's best to read it and try to say something positive if anything at all. Typically people will have an issue when someone tries to explain to them why their opinion is wrong. However if someone posts asking for your thoughts or opinions that a completely different matter.

EVERYONE that posts here seems to agree that you're very knowledgeable about NASCAR handicapping including me.

5mike5 · 04-01-12, 02:03 PM

think u took that wrong the way buddy

was just clarifying my thoughts early in the week

i welcome everybody to post thoughts/comments here...makes us all better

5mike5 · 04-01-12, 02:08 PM

jimmy just sitiing back LURKING in that top 5....

5mike5 · 04-01-12, 02:09 PM
