Atlanta 500

[Looselugs]

Trying a couple of qualifying matchup's

Dale Jarrett over Bobby Labonte -128
Jamie McMurray over Mat Kenseth +110

One win bet
Jamie McMurray 19-1

I got to take a shot here with Jamie this track fits more his style than the previous.Finished 11th and 6th here last year.More importantly this chassis he`s bringing is the same one Kurt Busch took to Pocono last year and flat dominated.I`ve been waiting to see this car again.Busch qualified 2nd and lead the first 100 out of 110 laps.Had a few mishaps during the race, one was a lugnut fell off but he over came them and still lead the most laps and collected a win.

Found this interesting.Last years Happy Hour compared with race finishes at Atlanta.

Spring race
Happy Hour Race Finish

1st Carl Edwards 1st Carl Edwards
2nd Mark Martin 2ndJimmy Johnson
3rd Jason Leffler 3rd Greg Biffle
4th Tony Stewart 4th Mark Martin
5th Jimmy Johnson 5th Kasey Khane
6th Greg Biffle 6th Brian Vickers

Fall race
Happy Hour Race Finish
1st Dale JR 1stCarl Edwards
2nd Jeff Green 2nd Jeff Gordon
3rd Brian Vickers 3rdMark Martin
4th Mark Martin 4th Dale Jr
5thMartin Truex Jr 5thMatt Kenseth
6thCarl Edwards 6th Jamie McMurray

If you take out Leffler in the spring race that give you the top 4 contenders.
If you take out Green ,Vicker and Truex in the fall race you have 3 of the top 4 contenders.
I can't think of a track that has that much consistency except for a road coarse.

that post did`nt come out like I won`t it to.I had the happy hour and race finishes separated more so you could see clearer.

McMurray has the equipment, he needs to win a race here soon.

 

[Looselugs]

hope this qualifying turns out better than the first practice speeds

 

[Looselugs]

qualifing went sour and Jamie McMurray looked like a wreck waiting to happen in qualifing.And he don`t look much better in practice.

tried this,it looks pretty safe.

Jeff Gordon over Jeff Burton and Jeff Green -110
Mark Martin over Kyle Bush and Ryan Newman -115

This race could be a tire issue that why I don`t bother to go against Kyle Bush.

Got to see if my theory is correct.
Happy Hour has,
1st Carl Edwards
2nd Mark Martin
3rd Kasey Kahne
4th Kurt Busch
5th Robby Gordon
6th JJ Yeley

Got to weed out Gordon,Yeley and Busch.So I went with these,

Carl Edwards 7-1 sia
Mark Martin 10-1 sirbet
Kasey Khane 10-1 sirbet

GL should be a good race.

 

[toastonastick]

I like the Martin play!!

 

[Looselugs]

I went for a second helping with
Jeff Gordon over Jeff Burton and Jeff Green -110 2units

Hope they get this race in today.Radar looks like some sprinkles in the area.

Got my fingers crossed....

 

[toastonastick]

[william13]

nice lugs...$

 

[Looselugs]

thanks toast and william.

Nice day for me!!

Hated to see Jeff Burton make that late pitstop :mj07: .

Nice to have your picks run 1st and 2nd.

Lets got to Bristol ,it will be interesting to see the odds on Kurt Busch this weekend.

 

[toastonastick]

for sure about Kurt. Rusty had good stuff for Bristol, equipment shouldnt be an issue for Kurt.

I pissed about burtons late pit stop too!! J/K :142smilie
