Darlington Discussion

Have a good feeling Biff wins Nationwide or Cup race this weekend

this is the track i always feel either a guy knows how to get around it, or they don't. My Top 4 at Darlington are the 23, 48, 16 & 39. Those last 2 are worth taking a nice swing at before qualifing considering the morning lines

I agree the 24 and 16 will be one of the ones in VL.  Gotta take the 39 and the 56 with those odds.  Ya'll know I am a Joey fan and he will be good here this weekend.  Keso is another long shot to look at.  He ran 7th here last year in the 25.

Looks like we have moved some lines already.....Jr down to +1900, Biffle down to +2000, Newman down to +3000 ....

good job on everyone who jumped on those lines when they came out.  +200 - +300 drop on all of them.

Looks like you guys have this one pegged...the 16 and 48 will be strong. The 11, the 17 and the 5 should be there as well. But Goggles hit it on the head...some guys just have a knack for this place and (if you're talking about active drivers) no one is better here than Gordon.

After the race last year he was the only car without a scatch on it, he is just that smooth here. But last year he didn't have a car that could win it...this year he does and you give him a strong piece here it may add up to that elusive win.

His stats are crazy...last 24 starts at Darlington; 7 wins/14 Top 3's/17 Top 5's and hasn't been out of the Top 5 since 2004.

Looking very hard at the 24 this week.

 

From my previous post: My Top 4 at Darlington are the 23, 48, 16 & 39.

(23) Michael Jordon, Don Mattingly, Lebron James, Shane Warne, Bobby Nystrom, David Beckham or Posh Spice (as I'm sure she's worn 23 in many different places, in many different positions and not just David's 23) are my picks this week at Darlington. In the unfortunate event they don't qualify I'll move the 24 to the front of my list.  how about 2 's

I caught that googs, thought you were talking about jimmie spencer in the camel cigs car for a sec.

no 1 has said anything about burton this wk he will b there at the end and hes geting nice odds

stats,

burton is my sleeper this race i just locked him in a little while ago.

my local called me asking if the race was tonight because I locked in the plays... He doesn't mind me using 5dimes to get the odds!

might have to check that burton play out, they should have some good team info from bowyer doing the tire test for sure.

 

 

that was funny

Any sites have nationwide odds up yet?

Fri 5/7  8:30AM

Kyle Busch	+275
Brad Keselowski	+400

looking for prices on Biff and Allgaier

Nationwide
Royal Purple 200
Fri 5/7  8:30AM

Kyle Busch       +275   
Brad Keselowski       +400   
Denny Hamlin       +500   
Kevin Harvick       +500   
Carl Edwards       +650   
Field (Any other driver)       +800   
Matt Kenseth       +875   
Brian Vickers       +1300   
Kasey Kahne       +1300   
Clint Bowyer       +1300   
Jamie McMurray       +1600   
Greg Biffle       +1600   
Justin Allgaier       +1600   

you have to consider Hamlin for sure, he won the last 2 he was in, and in 2008 he had a bad ass fast car, but F'd up qualifying it and missed the show...he dominated the practice and was easily looking at the pole or top 5 start and spun it out. Biff @ +1600 is a no brainer, will also consider Kenseth @ +875 the defending race winner.

Locked in

Hamlin @ +500

Kenseth @ +875

Biffle @ +1600

thanks shooter and we are thinking along  same lines

like the same 3

I really don't think Kyle or Brad should be the favorate here, I honestly believe that Denny probably walks away with the win here friday night, too much value to pass up on the Biff and Kenseth in a Rousch car and defending champ at great odds.

nice stat for us in nationwide

Either Denny or Matt have won 4 of the last 5 here, with Stewart winning the only other 1.

^^^^^

I never realized how much Rousch dominated at the place in Nationwide over the years..... 15  out of 28 races won by a Rousch car since fall race of 1993.. Not too bad when you have won more than Half the races held.
