RICHMOND--5mike5

[5mike5]

Alright guys were off to RICHMOND this week for another slate of night races friday and saturday night with nationwide and cup races....this is the last race before the chase begins, with 2 wild card spots up for grabs this weekend...

Ricmond is a 0.75 mile tri-oval racetrack...banking is 14 degrees in all the turns, 14 on the frontstretch and only 2 degrees on the backstretch...the frontstretch is 1,290 feet in length, and the back is 860 feet long

Should be an exciting weekend with alot on the line for the guys fighting to get in the chase!...sounds like the perfect recipe for a wild night race on a short track!...im starting to watch last 4-5 races and getting my notebooks on Richmond and every driver out and getting started early this week

as always, all the regulars opinions/leans are always welcome on this thread, could not have this amazing season so far without every1's input and help, and i appreciate it.

GOODLUCK this weekend every1 and hope we all win BIG again!!!

good college game on tonight

im going with a underdog prop to start a Open 2slot with...just want some action on the game, and went with underdog prop, "td NOT scored by offense"(+160)...vt has great D and great special teams, but either team can win the bet so just thought i would take a shot at it..

Good luck Tri. That would be a nice hit.

Good luck Tri. That would be a nice hit.

If he wins he is in since that's all he needs to do to guarantee a spot in the chase, doesn't hurt that he has run well here in the past either.

Will be on same

Qualifying Matchup: Tony Stewart -125 / Matt Kenseth

Stewart has a 18 point cushion over Kahne to keep his nine bonus points so expect to see them put extra effort into qualifying well this week so not to get stuck back in traffic, Kenseth is nothing special when it comes to qualifying at Richmond.
