Saturday night's NASCAR Nextel Open thoughts

I missed the Qual odds whch is underway on Speed and the truck race is tonight @ 8:30 Est.

:drink:

Prob a Hendrick night I am guessing.

What si the format tonight?

Fukin nascar.com is a wreck anymore. What happened to simplicity?


I am not sure Ace. I know they will run the open. The winner from that and a fan voted driver will get in the all star event. As for the main, I am not sure except there is a mandatory pit stop. LOL

i copied this from Nascar.com

3 races total I think, And don't the fans pick whether to invert the field in one of the events?


How it works

The 21st NASCAR NEXTEL All-Star Challenge returns on Saturday, May 21 at Lowe's Motor Speedway, with the winner collecting over $1 million during one of the season's most exciting evenings. The NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series drivers who will compete that night have earned that distinction. The all-star event showcases race winners from the previous and current NASCAR NEXTEL Cup seasons, plus the winner of the NASCAR NEXTEL All-Star Challenge Open, a preliminary event for teams not qualified for the all-star event, and another Open driver who wins a fan vote into the all-star event

how are shops setting up odds? - just for the final race of the evening? or can you bet on each heat?

Think I will pass tonight. Will check later to see if anyone has a nice feeling about anyone.

I believe the actual main event is broken into 3 segments, but I am not sure anymore.

$2 Kurt Busch +1300
$2 Tony Stewart +1500
$2 Dale Earnhardt Jr +2200

Good luck all

In the pre-race, Jeff Gordon mentioned Biffle as a solid choice. The odds reflect it.

I'm sick of this FX channell krap .........

I got $25 on Earnhardt Just cause I'm an Earnhardt fan but I would'nt put no serious money on this race its basicly just an all star game

What time does this freakin race start..........Midnight?!?

The vote-in was BS. The kid doesn't even run cup fulltime.

Click to expand...

I think a good betting opportunity.

The wreck sucked. To many good cars involved. It's just racing. :smoker2:

so true General.... but I am glad Harvick is out. I can't stand him.

tony stewart causes ANOTHER wreck....

I bet him, but not really a fan.
