Match-Ups
1.50 units David Reutimann (+110) over Martin Truex (@5dimes)
Its been 10 races since the 00 has finished outside the Top 20....that might not sound like that great of a stat but consider Truex has only one Top 20 the last six races and Reutimann has beaten him straight up in 7 of the last 8
1.00 unit Greg Biffle (-130) over Mark Martin (@5dimes)
Like the way the Biff's car looked in race trim on Friday (even though conditions were different than what they will be tonight...still think they will be strong ) think this Ford may have a chance to break the drought.
Mark and the 5 team have been struggling the last month, no Top 10's in 5 races and an avg. finish of 21.6
1.00 unit Kevin Harvick (-105) over Clint Bowyer (@5dimes)
Should have been riding this horse every week. Definitely has a championship look. Just went through a stretch of race tracks they normally performed poorly at but came away with great finishes at each one (but Michigan-19th). Now at a place where they have good history (2 wins/5 Top 5's/6 top 10's in 9 starts)
Props
1.50 units Greg Biffle (-120) under 10.5 (@5dimes)
Should be Top 5 or better
1.50 units Kevin Harvick (+135) to finish Top 10 (@5dimes)
Top 10 in 6 of 9 @Chicagoland and 9 of last 11 in 2010
1.00 unit Jeff Gordon (+115) to finish Top 5 (@5dimes)
Another former winner here with the potential to do it again...ran 2nd here last year and has been Top 8 or better in all practices and Qualifying
1.00 unit David Reutimann (+180) to finish Top 10 (@5dimes)
Only 3 Top 10 runs this year (which were all Top 5's) but is always close (has 11 Top 15's) and runs best on the 1.5 milers
Good luck to everyone!
