Hopefully here is a track where qualifying draw is not a big issue. Smoke was the first one out here last year and started 5th and he was 16th in the first practice. Weather looks nice and cool for the whole weekend.
Trying a few qualifying matchups,
Kyle Busch over Kurt Busch -110
Martin Truex Jr. over David Reutimann +115
Sam Hornish Jr. over Paul Menard +130
Tony Stewart over Greg Biffle -130

Hornish has covered him 4 out of 6 times this year on tracks like Kansas.He has a 15.3 avg starting spot vs 22.5 and at +130 he is well worth a shot. Gl with it if you try it.
Thanks VD,
Hornish has covered him 4 out of 6 times this year on tracks like Kansas.He has a 15.3 avg starting spot vs 22.5 and at +130 he is well worth a shot. Gl with it if you try it.
Smoke might show little value to me at 10 or 11-1 but Gordon at 8 or 9-1 who has not won a race since April 5 2009. I don`t dare to look at him with some practice times under his belt.GL with them if you play them.
