All Star Race @ Charlotte

All Star Saturday night racing tonight! I told my self after seeing dimes openers on the favorites being lower than other books that I would boycott this weekend. Well, that lasted until Friday. What can I say I'm addicted! It was nice being able to use one book this season but it's clear to me now that I will have to find another one to compare lines to in order to maximize profits.

Knowing that the JGR cars have dominated the 1.5 mile horsepower tracks this year it's hard not to pick them. But it's also hard to pick Busch at +350 (now +335) odds in a NSCS race with all the variables that can happen during a race. I would rather put my money on Busch to DNF this race at +335! Having four DNF's in seven All Star Races, it's checkers or wreckers with him here. I would have to lay too much on him to make a decent profit so he is my cover bet of the night. Can't afford not to take him...

Changed up my strategy with this race. I jumped on the two cars I saw value in early with Kahne and Hamlin. Then after hitting the truck race winner last night and a few cold ones I spread some of the winnings out on a few Match up parlays and as cover bets to make a few dollars on if they hit..

Good Luck gtb, I got almirola to win and over burton other than that i like most of em, cant believe khane all the way down to 5-1

Good start to the night, I might have to start picking more race match ups in the future! All three cars finished 1,2,3. Hopefully this luck hold up for the next race, and the $600 million dollar Powerball tonight!

Took $48 of the $98 won and created a second parlay for the All Star Race.

Kahne -120 over Edwards
Martin +100 over Newman
Busch -125 over Johnson



Sorry buddy hope you hit the rest of the night! My personal fav for tonights race - Kahne down to 5-1 is unreal, no value left!!!

  u 4got the 5 time CHAMP!!!!!

Yes the only driver I didn't take... 5 time champ and 4 time All Star winner! I usually jump on him when he's around +700 or better too. That's OK, as long as we learn from our losses it's never an all out loss. What was taken from this loss?

1. Over looked Johnson with his recent average finish of 19th (excluding the all star race) at Charlotte. Looking back into it further he has only 2 lead lap finishes and 2 DNF's in that same span which threw off his stats.

2. Pit crew is a huge factor in the All Star Race. Being on the front row was crucial for that final restart.

3. There are a few drivers just out on a test session for the following week.   (Screwed up my parlays)

Other than that I had Kahne figured to win as an early lean and he was there to challenge for it on the last restart but was beat by his Hendrick teammate. Had both Busch brothers which ran in the front most of the race. In the end didn't hit the race winner. Can't win them all, on to next week!
