Kobolt 400 Discussion (Week 3)

WE'RE IN THE CHASE BOYS! THE ROAD TO 7 IS UNDERWAY!

I had the NASCAR app up on my iPad Pro (I'm like that guy on the Toyota commercial with 4 different screens and a headset with radio communications LOL) and noticed about halfway through the race the fuel window was around 52 laps.. I was wondering if anyone would make a gutsy call and BOOM I hear Chad come on the radio asking for a short-pit. Everybody else followed and the 48 drove away with a 12 second lead, boy was I ecstatic!!!

#COVERED #CHASEBOUND #7TIME? :)

Now that the fanboy moment is out of the way, it's on to the next one. I felt the anger and disappointment through the TV when Harvick got interviewed and I feel like he's going to train hard this week to bring home the Kobolt 400 trophy again. He is my 1 "far out" (monday pre-quals) pick for sure.

I wonder how the "low-downforce" package will fair on a better surface in Vegas. Thoughts? As always below are the top 5 from last year's Kobolt 400. Let's talk plays!

1	Kevin Harvick	Chev	18	267	Running	48	5	134	$442,415	5-1
2	Martin Truex Jr.	Chev	8	267	Running	43	1	118	$268,950	40-1
3	Ryan Newman	Chev	7	267	Running	42	1	82	$236,980	30-1
4	Dale Earnhardt Jr.	Chev	4	267	Running	41	1	125	$184,455	8-1
5	Denny Hamlin	Toyota	19	267	Running	39	0	87	$162,380	15-1

I see Kenseth being the strongest car the first tow races and pulling this one off....he won Vegas 2013 even though kahne had the dominate car

I hate betting Harvick.  Dude and his team invent way to dominate a race and finish 2nd.  

I like making my posts on Mondays because I'm still really excited from the race! and, it's an open discussion all week so anyone can chime in with thoughts, ideas, facts, etc all week long. I named that "far out" pick that for a reason ;) - we are far away from FAST FRIDAY but one can still crunch numbers, right?

Also Larry, my book doesn't post odds until Sunday morning (bovada) so I painfully wait all week to see the odds.. LOL.

I also noticed that you're from PA - very cool - I live and work in Center City Philly! Maybe we can catch a race at XFINITY LIVE someday on the big screen!

Wow...Sunday...that would suck

20 and 22 would be good picks but need to see numbers.  Both have a burr on their fools for penalties.  Both had  fast cars

@Larry very nice - I will be at Bristol for the Xfinity race as it falls on my birthday and I've never been to The Last Great Colosseum. Super pumped to see that huge screen hanging from the middle of the track! We're getting an airbnb or something in the hills of TN for friday and saturday nights. Should be fun and maybe we will run into eachother there. Yes waiting until Sunday SUCKS and they also took away the top 3 wagers... I'm thinking about taking my business somewhere else.

Which book do you prefer people?

Bovada post before first practice every week

just an fyi guys since they repaved Bristol the racing sucks!!!  Save your $$ go to M.ville or Darlington  

A few notes

Kevin Harvick Vegas Chassis Information – Chassis No. 4-858:  It won its first start of 2015 at Las Vegas in March. In four 2015 starts, it had one win and two runner-up finishes.

KHI Management represents fighter Miesha Tate that is fighting for the bantamweight title against champion Holly Holm Saturday at UFC 196 in Las Vegas. Harvick said he will be there I wonder just how fresh will he be come Sunday?

I like Kenseth too this week. I can see Kyle Busch being right there and of course Harvick and JJ. I'm sure Childers or the 4 crew will find a new way to lose this week, Childers was totally outsmarted by Knaus at Atlanta.

Kenseth +475 my book....friggin garbage

Odds are up on Bovada! Wahooo - thinking about the following plays, although the odds are not the best, but it IS Vegas... lol

Harvick +425
Rowdy +650
Kenseth +700

I am heading down to Orlando for a long weekend and hope to tour Daytona Rising while I'm there!

Best of luck
