Martinsville Cool Orange 500

[Looselugs]

qual matchup,

Ken Schrader over Sterlin Marlin +110 Easy Winner

Taking a shot here,Ken has got the pressure on him in qualifying he`s got to make the field on his time,where Sterlin is already in the show.Ken will spend much of his practice tomorrow on making the field.

Good Luck.
Just 1 qualify for me.
Bobby Labonte(Even) over Jeff Burton 100---Labonte runs great @Martinsville.

Couple of quick Craftsman plays:
TO WIN:
JACK SPRAGUE(9-1) 100--- Has a 1st and 3rd in 3 races this year.Took pole and Won here last year(Oct)in the 200.
MIKE SKINNER(5-1) 150--Simply the best in the series right now.2 1st's and a 4th in 3 races.
LONGSHOT : DAVID STARR(20-1) for 50---Good odds for a guy who won here back last April in the 250.

Lets get'em again for the 3rd week in a row.

Lets get'em again for the 3rd week in a row.

I dont get mad when I lose a racing bet because it happens,but I might be a little ticked if Skinner doesnt bring this one home.
He has dominated this race.

THE #88 HAS RUINED THIS RACE.TAKING EVERYONE OUT AND NOW HE JUST ENDED HARVICKS DAY.
Which is fine with me.Harvick had been solid.

Way to go Skinner!!
-100 yesterday in Qual. matchup
+600 today on Skinner Win

Will work on the 500 later today.

 

[Looselugs]

Nice early call on Skinner!! Congrats!

Look like Harvick was the only one that might have had a chance with him.

Skinner is a winner ! Good call !:clap:

500 to WIN:
SMOKE(6-1)---200 -Still due and his kind of track.
Junior(8-1)---100- Good practice runs so far.
LONGSHOT-Carl Edwards(35-1)---50 -Waiting for the backflip Cup style.

MATCHUPS:

JEFF BURTON(+120) over Kyle Busch--100 - Just like the odds and the driver here.

Does it look like a rainout today?????

 

[Looselugs]

Its not raining here now and it has`nt rained since yesterday evening.Very overcast and about 60 degrees.I think we will start this one on time but there is a band of showers on it`s way,looks like maybe about a hour of racing then it going to get tricky. It takes about hour to hour and half to dry this track after a good rain. Keep in mind we have no lights.

 

[kegray1]

It looks like a rain delay is coming,but it would be a small band of rain,but a big band is right behind it.
I hope they scrap the annoying pre-race junk or start it early.
A 2+ hour rain delay will push it for getting it in before dark.

Looks to me like this one is over when the flag comes out.
Wager on some people up front to win:
Adding HAMLIN(6-1) 100
RAISING SMOKE(5-1) 100--- Starts 7th and had great run last week until it gave way on him.
Pit strategy will be crucial.Go as long as you can.

 

[kegray1]

Looks like a rough day for me.
-440 for the weekend unless something drastic happens in last 10 which is doubtful.
