From 40mins to 47 mins is a good example of why I like McDowell so much.
Chasing down Villeneuve in the lead, consistently out braking the "braking master" and even when it was obvious McDowell was faster and with 3/4 of the race to go, Ville just can't make the smart decsion and let him go. Ends up letting the chasers catch them, and then put himself off and losing 3 spots instead of one.
Thanks opti

From 1hr 3min you can see how McDowell handles the same situation in opposite. Let's Villeneuve pass then hangs on his bumper as thye race away from the field.
Before Ville is penalized for an error on the earlier restart.

Almost certain I will be taking Mcdowell for 4units, Piquet for 1 unit... then minimum to break even on Ville and Fellows. and 'possibly' Kurt.

taking more than 2 people usually not wort it in nationwide imo
and dont think ive ever used a cover wager...id rather do a H2H parlay or something
not sure i can back McDowell off 1 race he had a good showing in..just have to see the odds
Vill. is in the #22 PENSKE again which is great
and fellows is running the #5 this yime for RICK HENDRICK
the mcdowell is in #18...still not sold but maybe his odds will be bad

Las vegas sportsbooks has the WORST odds on the planet when it comes to nascar
if u bet nascar u need to get offshore...even if u won ur losing ALOT of money by not using an offshore book
say gordon won this week, u bet at 4-1 and we bet at 8.5-1?
just a suggestion
and thats every single week they are so much worse

Usually do but at times they are off on road courses. But for most part you are correct

True stations used to be bad at road course Odds had Ambrose at 15-1 when he killed car under caution? But do use 5 dimes too. Especially my qualifying bets

It's not just one race. He was running near the front in 2010 too before his engine blew up. He also came up as a road racer, karting and open wheel champion.

just saying his odds need to be closer to 10+-1 for me to think about him
i have to bet my profit bets on the best guys on a road course, cause im not taking 'cover" bets for a nationwide race, especially road course
if his odds are good enough ill take him too , if not no way im backing him

everything at 5dimes is at least little better, so ill give him a chance at better than 10-1
so probably 12-1 my guess

I just watched last years Sonoma. I had forgotten how dominant Kurt was. Both Penske cars were good all weekend. Each topping a practice session.
It was all about the new tires last year though, so maybe we shouldn't put too much stock in that. It's hard to watch the race and not think the Penske cars will be strong again though.
You are right that my memory was over estimating how good Jimmie was last year too Mike.

closer than cup, 5dimes kills the greek cup odds(actuallu no book better than 5dimes openers) on every single driver
its closer than cup, but 5dimes still better every week on almost every driver than greek
i got logano better than a full point better when i won with him at 6 and 7-1 at 5D

i would never bet just cause "penske" was good last year on road course
kurt busch has always been a great top road racer, and bk was just 10th place..penske car isnt the reason he was dominant
driver>team everytime on a road course imo

I think you need a balance of both. Robby Gordon a great road racer but be shocked if he gets a top 15

thats becuase his equipment is just terrible
most anybody on a "decent" team u dont have to worry bout that
im talking just becuase ur in a penske car doesnt mean u have a better chance of winning compared to RPM t a road course
this is much more a skill track than the glen is

ill get around to watching F1 race sometime
just the parts ive seen wasnt really the kind racing i personally like
never 1 time saw a side by side battle...most time they arent even close, and when they were just passed them asap..but like i said, never watched more than a few minutes in my life
