NASCAR 1st.....

Martin Treux Jr -140 over Kasey Kahne for 3 Units- Kasey has been here 10 times and has zero Top 10 finishes, Treux Jr is 5 0f 8 on Top 10's. Treux is in a bad car this year, but this course is about driving, not speed.

The one above is the only one I am vest in, but if you want to play 2 match-ups the other one I wanted to grab was Carl Edwards over Jamie McMurray, -145. Both plays looked very equal in terms of history, practices and qualifying.....gl

I like when you key in on one matchup and bang it. Jumped on Truex with ya.

Any particular reason you decided to go 3U on that matchup and completely pass the other one if they're so similar?

Really about gambling.....play two and break even if one loses......almost played 2 and 2.....they are that close. Edwards has a decent car and is in the Top 5 on history, while McMurray is 21st. In 9 races Edwards has 8 Top 10's, in 11 races McMurray has 2. As far as cars go Edwards and McMurray have faster cars that Truex and Kahne. I just decided to play the one that will have to come from the trenches and drive.....and Treux Jr is the better driver on Road. He also seemed to be favored in some match-ups that from a practice qualifying standpoint didn't make much sense. In other words, players will play the Dogs.....you've always got to love that.

Stewart sounded like he hit the gas when he saw dude coming at him. Tragic stuff

Thanks for the input. Yes, I do love that. Let's bring this one home. BOL!

Stewart did hit the gas and Stewart knows what happens when you hit the gas on those cars on that track. His only line of defense is his visibility since another car was in front of him. It was a piss poor spilt second decision and that could result in a manslaughter charge. Kid should have never gotten out of the car but anyone who knows racing on the smaller scale knows that it happens all the time, and this one ended badly with a driver that is as experienced as it gets. Both got cocky and it ended in death. The race was under caution, you don't slam your foot on the gas, and you know you will fish tail if you do. His intentions weren't to kill the guy, but whatever his intention were.....they killed someone.

How fast u think they got rid of his Go Pro camera he had in car?

Donkwin47 · Aug 10, 2014

Damn, I flip to NASCAR and the second I turn it on, it's a highlight of Kahne passing Truex Jr. and Truex getting roughed up... A minute off pace with Kahne up in 3rd. Hope Kahne wrecks.

Donkwin47 · Aug 10, 2014

Ok, solid quick fix for Truex.. Kahne had to pit as well so now 21st for Kahne and 29th for Truex Jr., 31 and 40 seconds off the pace, respectively. Lot of racing to go. Let's go Truex.

RedElephants · Aug 10, 2014

Kyle Busch plowed Treux Jr.....not good.

Legend-I-Aint · Aug 10, 2014

Kahne running stronger than I expected today Red.

RedElephants · Aug 10, 2014

11 Laps left. Kahne 16, Treux 17......Kahne has the better car. Under caution so the restart is important.....some cars into the pit. Not sure what the gas situation is for either car. Nail biter....

RedElephants · Aug 10, 2014

Treux Pits as does Kahne neck and neck

RedElephants · Aug 10, 2014

Kahne nailed the restart.....going to be tough to win this barring a wreck....just had one and both Truex and Kahne missed it. Kahne 17 Treux 19.....will come down to another restart. Truex will be lined up behind Kahne.

RedElephants · Aug 10, 2014

Another Caution gives me another chance but Kahne is 14 and Treux 16. Kahne getting the better re-starts.....

RedElephants · Aug 10, 2014

Kahne 12 Treux 13......shit. And to top things off, Edwards 4th. Hope someone played it.

Donkwin47 · Aug 10, 2014

Frustrating to lose by 1 position and a quarter of a second. Damn, matchup lines are sharp.. If there isn't a crash it's always so close.. And even with a little bang up in this one they still finish neck and neck.

RedElephants · Aug 10, 2014

Taking the Braves for 2 Units, 3 night in a row....Braves like hitting against Gio and they need some runs to get hot.....Dogs are something like 10-4 today. I'll take the fave in a must win situation in my opinion....gl.
