Locked in thus far

Gordon @ +850

Harvick @ +1100

Jr @ +2300

Dodge swept here last year, with a ford and toyota the year before...2007 was the last yr a chevy won, with J.J. sweeping that year.

In the 20 races here since 2000, the race has been won from an outside starting spot of 11th......3 times.  so 85% of the time, you need to be starting in the top 11.

can't wait for the truck odds to come out,  I know they will have Kyle as the huge favorite at +275 or less, followed by Harvick, Horny, Bodine etc.......

it's going to be tough for me to go against the 48 as he's made me $$ the past 2 weeks.

What do you think about adding a Top 3 play on Logano at +900?

Four NASCAR drivers - Carl Edwards, Sam Hornish, Jr., Mark Martin and Martin Truex, Jr. - assisted the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. with tire testing at Atlanta Motor Speedway and their shared sentiment provided high praise for Goodyear's efforts to provide a quality tire compound for the 2010 Kobalt Tools 500.

totally forgot about this, thanks for the reminder yourpix

tough call there, Joey has been very good thus far, but he was absolutely terrible here both races last year finishing 30th and 22nd....Even he said in his interview after sundays race that he needed to run well here this sunday.

bit the bullet,
