Rough one in the big show last weekend, 1-4 and Biffle was 2 miles away from cashing as a huge dog but it wasn't to be. Came out of Speedweeks positive, though YTD stands at 5-3, +1.65 units. The loss on the winner picks is reflected in the units, but not the record. Probably won't try a winner again all year, just not my thing.
On to this week, I'm rolling with these 5 picks.
Martin -125 over Juan Pablo-lot of love for JPM on the board it looks like, but the old timer has looked very fast in practice.
Kahne +100 over Junior-Jr. looked good on the high banks, but we know he can do that. Hasn't looked sharp in practice and Kahne has 5 top 10s the last 8 trips here.
Kurt -105 over Newman-based mostly on recent history here, Kurt's average finish is 15.5 while Newman is 21.5 with only 1 top ten over the last 4 years.
Keselowski +100 over Speed-The 82 was fast in happy hour, but slow in the prior practice. Scott has show bursts of speed before, but I'll go against his usually crappy results. I'll go with Brad in the AAA Insurance colors this week, his strong run yesterday in NW shows me he's getting a handle on this track a bit now.
Kenseth -115 over Biffle-gotta go with this bit of a homer pick, Matt is second only to Jimmie with average finish here. 3 wins, 5 top 5s, 7 top 10s with an average finish of 5th over the last 8 races here. What's not to like?
That's it for me, looking forward to the race this afternoon and USA-Canada hockey tonight!
