Easily one of my favorite tracks. I love the racing here.

However, it should be 400 miles--not 500.

Reutti won at Charlotte, the 600 because of rain.

 

 

Will be on Montoya for sure,  chance of us seeing another fuel race is at least 70% IMO

It seems to me that the drivers who do best on the road courses, also seem to run up front at Pocono.

While he's been a trainwreck lately, I do like the #42 for a top 5. Not sure if I think he'll outrun the #11 or a hooked up Roush car.

Think you got to really like Martin over JR. Only once this year has Jr out qualified Martin and that was at Daytona .Martin has started in front of Jr 6 of the last 7 trips here at Pocono.Surprised to see this line at -115.

Now that I think about it, wasn't Logano having an exceptionally strong 4th place run here until Harvick spun him in the waning laps? This is where the famous "His wife wears the firesuit in the family" came from if I'm not mistaken.

  They have allowed the engineers to gear 3rd gear closer to 4th gear this year for this race.  Essentially allowing drivers to shift here, which they have not been allowed to do for years.(I heard a few guys still could on real old tires but now everyone will be shifting).  Hamlin hasn't won here when they have been allowed to shift like this.  Could be a coincidence, or could be part of his success.  Hamlin should be favored, and has dominated here recently.  That being said, between the #11 team's struggles, the new engine design, and the wear and tear on the transmissions from the high RPM's from the down-shifting, and all the Gibbs engine problems: I don't think 4/1 is good value.  Coupled with how important fuel mileage has been this year, and historically at Pocono, I think there is big value out there.

LOCKED IN

 

Montoya @ +4200    .10 unit

Love the value here, no way is this even half of what it is now come sunday. Juan knows how to get around Pocono, has come close for the V before, maybe this is the year????

 

Bodine @ +450   .16 unit         (Trucks)

Finishes in Spring Texas race since 2006   .......1st, 1st, 5th, 1st, 1st.    He looked good last week at Kansas and you can't argue with his record here , He has simply dominated the last few years in the Spring race.

Stewart @ +1050    .10 unit      

Guy has had the best car here many a times before, should be stout once again, plus he has been starting up front here the last few years, so this price may be down come sunday.

Montoya is at least double what his odds should be. already played Juan.  The new transmission will drive more like a road coarse into the slow turn at Pocono. .  I always play him here and Indy and he finds a new way to let me down all the time.  agree with Stewart and like Kurt Busch's value.
