Darlington Discussion

Looks like we have moved some lines already.....Jr down to +1900, Biffle down to +2000, Newman down to +3000 ....

good job on everyone who jumped on those lines when they came out.  +200 - +300 drop on all of them.

Looks like you guys have this one pegged...the 16 and 48 will be strong. The 11, the 17 and the 5 should be there as well. But Goggles hit it on the head...some guys just have a knack for this place and (if you're talking about active drivers) no one is better here than Gordon.

After the race last year he was the only car without a scatch on it, he is just that smooth here. But last year he didn't have a car that could win it...this year he does and you give him a strong piece here it may add up to that elusive win.

His stats are crazy...last 24 starts at Darlington; 7 wins/14 Top 3's/17 Top 5's and hasn't been out of the Top 5 since 2004.

Looking very hard at the 24 this week.

From my previous post: My Top 4 at Darlington are the 23, 48, 16 & 39.

(23) Michael Jordon, Don Mattingly, Lebron James, Shane Warne, Bobby Nystrom, David Beckham or Posh Spice (as I'm sure she's worn 23 in many different places, in many different positions and not just David's 23) are my picks this week at Darlington. In the unfortunate event they don't qualify I'll move the 24 to the front of my list.  how about 2 's

that was funny

Either Denny or Matt have won 4 of the last 5 here, with Stewart winning the only other 1.

^^^^^

I never realized how much Rousch dominated at the place in Nationwide over the years..... 15  out of 28 races won by a Rousch car since fall race of 1993.. Not too bad when you have won more than Half the races held.
