TALLADEGA--5mike5

[5mike5]

oh ok...just making sure i havent overlooked something

nothing wrong with value crapshoot plays here, i know i already have a few and just started filling up my roster

[Trident]

hasnt been any suprise winner at DEGA since vickers at '06,

Brad Keselowski in 2009 which was just his 5th start at huge odds at books that didn't include him in the field and Jamie McMurray the same year at around 50/1, McMurray had gone 80+ plus races between wins.

[5mike5]

mcmurray Won at daytona in 07 before he won at DEGA i 09, so that was definatley NOT any big suprise...even now hes better plate driver than most give him credit for

BK was a suprise then i agree, as he was in the field at vip when i played there...

but McMurray no suprise at all

[5mike5]

anyone going to the races this weekend??

[5mike5]

anyone going to the races this weekend??

my buddy still hasnt told me anything as of yet, so not sure...

if he waits til last minute not sure i fly down, id rather know a few days early

either way, im ready to attend a DARLINGTON race...

this month may have the best 4 races of any month on the schedule, dega, darlington, all-star race, and coke 600...tough to beat this months slate of races

[5mike5]

nationwide odds posted now also:

took dale jr. (+575)

like the value...will add 1-2 more at some point probably

[flyboy]

Took dale jr. truax jr and bowyer for 20.00 each. with bowyer at 30 to 1 that would be a good payday for the price!!

[5mike5]

goodluck flyboy

You too. I have not picked anyone for the nationwide race as of yet.

[5mike5]

You too. I have not picked anyone for the nationwide race as of yet.

just 1 pick for me for nationwide so far, but i dont bet too much on nationwide races...just 2 picks usually and maybe a parlay

i wont finish my CUP bets til sunday morning of the race...

[5mike5]

i added another longshot in jeff burton 25-1

also brad keslowski at 18-1


will wait and see how odds are on most of my early picks and decide to add to them and who i will leave as my weekly cover wagers....

[Reno Paul]

Just added a smaller play on Regan Smith +6600........He seems to be a capable plate track driver.

Worth the gamble to me.......

hes capable i agree

hell dave blaney almost won daytona 500, cant argue with any longshot plate racing

[Reno Paul]

Gonna look at Driver Handicaps at MRN for chassis setups for what it is worth when it comes up......May get a bettor clue.

This is gonna be a great weekend.......The Kentucky Derby then Talledega,

Can't get much bettor than that!!!!

I will be betting on the ponies.

[Reno Paul]

Added Little E +1000......He is way way overdue......He has a decent chance of breaking his winless streak at Talledega.

he been 4ever since hes won at dega or anywhere for that matter

i already had him at +1100, and also for nationwide +575

The team still owes him one from pushing JJ home without having a go too.

[5mike5]

Wonder if nascar may think about making some changes to the cooling sysytem since they made it so hard to keep the cars cool...forcast is for HOT, and i mean in the 90s HOT

[Reno Paul]

Gonna take another Ford driver......I'm hearing they have an advantage in the cooling department.

Will have to wait for updated odds.

yeah im not liking fords this weekend

maybe 1 rousch but that would be the most for me, they just always seem to have very bad times here

[5mike5]

no suprises in practices...4-5 laps max. they could tandem and all pretty much admitted to all pack drafting til last 3-4 laps of the race....10 drivers didnt even practice in happy hour

imo practices are mostly irrelevant in most races, but nowhere more irrelevant than a plate track since all speeds are determined by 2-3 cars, not just 1, so nothing in practices sways or leans me toward any driver/teams, good or bad

just wait and make finial picks sunday morning probably

[Reno Paul]

Throw darts and hope your driver hits LOL.

Threw another dart at Kenseth +1250.

[5mike5]

have to say i did damn good on early wagers...didnt lose odds on a single driver, actually every single bet so far i got at a better price which is rare

[5mike5]

Threw another dart at Kenseth +1250.

i may take 1 ford, but just not sure i can take matt at that price...seems way too low for him here....and definatley not biffle here, maybe edwards..hell who knows i may change my mind by tomorrow

i know, ill put all of the fords in a hat and draw 1-2 names and go with that...

[Optional]

Mike Ford appears to have shown Aric how to go fast immediately... Will that Ford do?

be shocked if hes not in the wall by lap 15

[Optional]

LOL... he's not that bad!

[5mike5]

well, no chance in hell i would blow money betting armirola

practices mean diddly squat, especially at plate tracks....

good for his moral to win something, even if its a practice

[5mike5]

im just rubbin ur team Opti...jk

maybe ambrose can push him to the front and nip him for a win?!

[Optional]

I was being a bit tongue in cheek about Mike F really.

i was just playin...is impressive new criew chief steps in and looks like he immediatley pays off though in all seriousness

still think he would be better off with Ambrose, just seems like a waste on #43

[Optional]

Doubt he really could do anything within 2 practice sessions of joining the team really. But it must be a good boost for moral in the #43 garage.
