here's the article to save anyone a search

Kurt Busch has been suspended from this weekend's activities at Pocono Raceway by NASCAR as a result of his actions following the Nationwide Series event at Dover International Speedway this past Saturday.
Busch was already on probation because of a run-in with Ryan Newman's crew following the May 12 Sprint Cup event at Darlington Raceway. Following his fourth-place finish in Saturday's Nationwide race, Busch was asked about racing while on probation, and proceeded to verbally berate reporter Bob Pockrass of The Sporting News, who posed the question.
"It refrains me from not beating the s--- out of you right now because you ask me stupid questions," Busch said in a video posted by Speed Channel. "But since I'm on probation, I suppose that's improper to say as well."

truth is he's been a non-factor this season anyway. He can save himself another embarrassing finish now.

Last 10 races

**5mike5** · 06-05-12, 06:51 AM

probably will only be taking 2 early wagers this week, maybe 3 if i play a mid-range early ....not quite as cut and dry as the last 2 races imo as far as who u want to bet on early besides a select few....

ill post up asap here when odds are released as ill be checking every few minutes...or i can PM any1 else who would see that sooner

**5mike5** · 06-05-12, 07:35 AM

ODDS ARE POSTED at 5dimes guys!

**5mike5** · 06-05-12, 07:36 AM

denny hamlin +500

jeff gordon+900

***both have 2 wins at POCONO since '07...and BOTH of gordons were in the "spring" races...

**5mike5** · 06-05-12, 07:57 AM

POCONO longshot

TRUEX JR. +2700

**5mike5** · 06-05-12, 08:06 AM

thats it for me so far..will post up any other picks i take today, but not sure there will be anymore....

**DDT** · 06-05-12, 08:18 AM

Hamlin dropped to +465 and gordon +850

**5mike5** · 06-05-12, 08:20 AM

not suprised

already been posted almost 1 hour...not sure if im betting them both again now, or wait...hmmmm

**DDT** · 06-05-12, 08:23 AM

Hamlin will be dropping fast today...everyone better jump on it

HAMLIN +440 now....

**5mike5** · 06-05-12, 08:35 AM

as hot as jimmy has been the last month, i just cant take him early here...he lives in top 5, but i only care about wins, and he hasnt won at POCONO since 2004....i may change my mind and take him and noody else, but theres alot of value out there when hamlin./jimmy will get the hell bet out of them all week...im taking my chances and
laying off for now

plus, i really think its a deadly duo, now that D.Grubb is the chief for the #11 car..he was the master at setups for smoke at pocono and all flat tracks really...i think this will be an added advantage to hamlin this weekend

and GORDON said it best after dover race...top 10s and 5s do the #24 no good at all now...the ONLY thing this team cares about from now on is winning to get in the chase..period..point racing and good finished just doesnt help this team in this position in the standings...and no where do they have a better shot at a WIN than pocono, 1 of jeff's best tracks

**5mike5** · 06-05-12, 09:05 AM

went ahead and bet a GROUP winner as well

KEVIN HARVICK (+350) to win GROUP B (edwards, kahne, kennseth,keslowski)

**RyanLeafOfBets** · 06-05-12, 09:47 AM

Does this link work for you guys?

It's track history in a Google Spreadsheet. I have a guy who sends me Nascar stats each week. He updates after each practice.

but u can get alot of information off MRN, driveraverages, ect

you guys should see the notebooks ive compiled for each driver/track...so thick its getting out of hand

...my girl said my nascar books take up more space than she has closet space

**RyanLeafOfBets** · 06-05-12, 09:51 AM

Ah yeah. I use multiple sites for sure. It just shows history by driver over the last 12 races.

**RyanLeafOfBets** · 06-05-12, 09:52 AM

Tried to copy, but didn't format well. Dang.

**5mike5** · 06-05-12, 09:53 AM

ive watched so many past POCONO races in the last 2 days i think i could drive pocono blind-folded...

**5mike5** · 06-05-12, 10:02 AM

POCONO is a neat track to see a race at if any of you guys ever get the chance to go to a nascar race there....

its different, more laid back than most...good race to take ur lady too cause of the surroundings..at least that was my exucse to go...
