Well, got to see dad when he flew up here and spent Mon-Weds (yesterday) visiting and saying goodbye to my grandparents and then took him back to the airport. 

He quit his job today and is starting home hospice.  I start a new job Monday (quit my old one after the Hamlin win to spend time with him in his last days cause they were hastling me about it - assholes) so I have Easter weekend off at the end of this month at this new job. Hoping he is still around so I can see him one last time....rough week for the family.

BUT...I'm not gonna sit here and sulk all weekend and the race will take my mind off things.  I'm loading money into my account later this afternoon and will let you know what my picks are once I place them this early evening.

Hope everyone is well and thanks again for the support

Surprised to see you're on Hamlin.  I'm fading him this week.  Not a great track record at Phoenix.

Larry, I saw your post last weekend and have included your father in my prayers! I’m glad you got to spend some time with him. I will keep you guys in mind. I also like JRs track record here, but I will have to say I think its a little bit of a long shot at +1350! 

BOL buddy!

It is a long shot for sure.....was gonna take Logano too but I'm kind of letting these first few one  1.5 and 2 mile tracks show who's strong and whop isn't before going back to my normal $500 bets.

Would rather just take a high odds guy like JR who has finished top 4 and won pretty much the last 4-6 races.

BOL guys!!!

Ive won at 25-1 odds twice....once Carl Edwards 2005 at Atlanta over our favorite driver JJ and had $500 on him in his 4th Nascar race...just had seen he finished 4th there the year before and always liked the Rousch 99 car with Jeff Burton before him

The other one was also Carl Edwards 25-1 Bristol night race at $500

13 or 15-1 is more mid-range than long shot.  The way Junior is running now, he could win at any track where he likes.  I'm not a huge fan of the guy, but I think he brings the best odds this weekend IMO even though Harvick, Logano, Keselowski and Logano will probably be one or two of the cars to beat....

Earnhardt, a three-time winner at Phoenix, has experienced a resurgence lately at the short track. In his last six races at the facility, the Kannapolis, North Carolina, native has earned one win, four top-five finishes and five top-10s. The only one of those six events in which he finished outside of the top 10 was when the series visited the short track in March 2015 and a blown right-rear tire ended his day on Lap 180.

Totally agree with the skill and success of resurgence at shorter tracks. But top 10s, 5s, 3s, don’t matter at the end of the day - just trophies - he didn’t even advance to the second round in qual yesterday, is really loose (and not fast again) today in practice. 

I’m so pissed about the 48 going to a backup because he didnt pull on the steering wheel lol but its all good he’s not hurt and is going to the Richmond car (9th place). I may take a Busch and harv, possibly the duece duece - still thinking and watching practices

Truex likes these flat tracks and the Toyota is probably  the only car to run with harvick. 

Stay strong Larry.
