Glad to get Daytona out of the way, as for today have some concerns about tires and I hope that it will not be a huge factor in the race.
Match-Ups (all 1 unit plays)
Carl Edwards (-125) over Kurt Busch (@thegreek)
Carl is a definite Top 3 today with a good chance at the win.
Ryan Newman (-110) over Clint Bowyer (@5dimes)
Looking at Newman as a darkhorse contender for the win but a very realistic Top 5. Was 2nd here last time out and won this race last year. Had a 8.75 avg. finish on the short flat tracks last year.
Was slightly better than the 33 in both practices and qualifying.
Mark Martin (+100) over Jeff Gordon (@5dimes)
According to reports all four Hendrick teams are hurting for speed because of set-ups but the 5 and 48 seem to be a step ahead of the 24 and 88 and Mark has really good history here.
Ryan Newman -3.5 (-110) over Dale Jr. (@5dimes)
Joey Logano -2.5 (+105) over Martin Truex (@5dimes)
Haven't played this type of wager before but these two look good to me. Have Logano a potential Top 5 while Truex is 15th or so. Also have Newman Top 5 and Jr. 17th-20th.
