Pocono

should have a great idea who the 4 or 5 drivers that have a great chance 2 win this weekend..   4HRS of testing wed. and 6HRS on thur. then 3hrs of practice fri.    lots of hrs. on track this weekend...  lets not 4get this race has been cut back 50laps/100miles   strategy will b alot different then b4.  have to believe a lot more emphasis will b on qual.   not sure what the pit window will b on fuel but i am sure they will all b focusing on that during testing wed. and thur.   if some of them can make fuel runs of 40 laps this could b a 3 stop race, could easily c some crew chiefs running this weeks race like a road course..      my top 4 drivers 2 win are denny,gordon,smoke and kyle think he has figured this place out lately   and my 1 sleeper for sure will b juan he had a great run here last june...  bol 2 all this weekend...

Was looking at Kyle also. I'll take the 8-1. Juan is worth the donation at 100-1.

Trying to remember...was Juan's good finish due to fuel mileage at the end of the race, or was he fast throughout?

  fast through out   he probably had the best car and got burned by a debris and was able to only rally back to a 7th place finish and in the aug.  race he was running in the top 10 and got caught up in a late race accident   he has 4 top 8's in his last 6 races here.   if he ever wins again it will b here,indy or a road course.   100-1 is great odds 2 me!!!!

dimes just posted there #'s   few early plays 4 me all 2 win
denny 4.5-1
gordon/smoke 8.5-1
kyle 11-1
2 long shots that i threw a sprinkle on
newman 38-1
juan 66-1   thought i would get a 100-1 like sportsbook but dimes had him really dropped lower...    won't play any1 else 2 win except maybe a parlay with denny if he looks good n testing and practice..  can't wait i am all booked 4 this weekend taking my 11year old nephew to his 1st race at pocono...he is so pumped!!!   on a side note truck race this weekend has good odds...  think i will play sauter,dillon and buescher..  best of luck 2 all

Bol this week stats, I'm leaning toward the 11 & 48! My upset special this week will be the 5 car!I think kasey has turned the corner with bad luck & will start heading up the points standing, along with 1 or 2 more race wins before the chase begins

Also gl with the juan play, the only place i can lay any $$ on him is @ the brickyard

stats who u like in the truck race, my book has actually got craftsman truck lines up already. Hasn't texas been brandon gaughan's best track in the past?

24 !!!!

    sauter,dillon and bueschler    sauter had the race 1 last year and nascar black flagged him on a g-w-c  restart 4 jumping the restart   and gave the win to hornaday  and then in nov.   is when kyle wrecked ron and got parked 4 the sprint cup race..   harvick won that race but i remember both dillon boys being strong..

    i think his luck changes sunday unless he hits a on the track..   bol buddy

Looking at the lines on sportsbook...I don't understand these.

truex -170 over newman +135
newman -145 over martin +115

Their saying truex is way better than newman, but martin in a similar car is way worse than newman.

I'm tempted to take newman +135 and martin +115.  If the toyota's do good I get martin +115, if they don't I get newman +135.  Is this genious, or a terrible idea?

that newman play over truex  along with jeff -130 over carl r my 2 early plays  and i will try finding 1 match up with juan getting value  i have a big feeling about him this week...   also look at some of those odds on sportsbook.  burton,juan, mcmurray 100-1   this race is a race where a no namer could win if strategy is played right..

Alan i dont understand those matchups either, the 55 & 56 have the same powerplant under the hood & both are very capable of running up front.  Stats theres no doubt childress is gonna put the dillon kids in good equipment & should be competitive! I'm leaning sauter & ole onion head @ texas. Was gonna play kahne early @ 15-1 for sundays race but my book done took their nascar lines off the board(reckon their watching these practice sessions also.

Juan is very good here, top 10 is almost a given without trouble, top 5 very good possibility......Practices will tell us alot, you can pretty much throw out all the past notes, track will be totally different now.

Did you say Juan and without trouble in the same sentence?

Juan and no trouble do not go together. He'll have to show me something before I get on him. Hopefully before the road race.

Bol stats.

Juan at 80-1 is worth a small play, odds suck this week

First Friday practice
#55-Martin 179.379
#1-McMurray 178.937
#88-Earnhardt, Jr. 178.809
#48-Johnson 178.678
#22-Allmendinger 178.204

I put 2 units on both AJ and Martin earlier today at 40:1 and 28:1 respectively. Someone is going to jump out front and dominate this race, and I have a feeling that it's going to be Martin. This guy has finished here 2nd... what.. 10 times? Never first though.

I like the martin play, damn he's due a win @ the triangle, GL
