Heading out to the track soon (hoping the pop-up thunder showers stay away, 30% chance) but was able to get these in...

Match-Ups

2.00 units Denny Hamlin (+100) over Kurt Busch (@5dimes)
Not a flat track but Hamlin still seems to like this joint, has yet to place outside the Top 10 in his 3 starts. Was just average in qualifying but looked good in race trim. Looking for a Top 5 from the 11.

1.00 unit Jeff Burton (-110) over Kurt Busch (@5dimes)
1.00 unit Jeff Burton (-125) over Tony Stewart (@thegreek)
Really like Burton at Darlington, he knows how to be patient and consistent and beat the track first. Three Top 10's in a row for JB here and has the 3rd best average finish of all active drivers at Darlington (11.5 in 26 starts). Not liking Busch or Stewart too much this weekend, maybe Top 15 or so.

1.00 unit Greg Biffle (-120) over Carl Edwards (@thegreek)
1.00 unit Matt Kenseth (+100) over Carl Edwards (@5dimes)
Don't expect Edwards to be bad tonight, just like his two teammates to be better. If Biffle has any luck you better watch out, won here in 2005 and 2006 and last year was running away with it before his engine blew.

1.00 unit Jeff Gordon (-125) over Kyle Busch (@thegreek)
Can't argue with Jeff's results at Darlington, 5 straight finishes of 3rd or better and has 7 wins in 28 starts.

Props

1.50 units Ryan Newman (-115) under 12.5
Had my eye on Newman all week think this is the darkhorse tonight

1.00 unit Denny Hamlin (-115) under 9.5
3 starts, 3 Top 10 finishes at Darlington

Outrights

0.66 unit Greg Biffle (+700) @thegreek
0.50 unit Matt Kenseth (+1000) @thegreek
0.50 unit Denny Hamlin (+1250) @thegreek
