Anybody like anything?

For me personally, I am finding todays card very tough, and I have put alot of time into this weeks race.

I am taking a shot with Micheal Waltrip at +150 over Dale Jarrett, but I am not overly crazy about it.

Reason being, in his last 3 races at Michigan, Waltrip has had an average finish of 7.3 here and he had the 11th fastest time in Happy Hour.

Jarret was 19th in Happy Hour and has finished 19.3 on average in his last 3 trips to Michigan, although he has traditionally ran somewhat well here previously.

Jarrett to be a -160 favorite seems a tad high to me after opening at -150.

My opening number had him at -107(from my power rankings, not necessarily what I would have actually set the line at).

Probably would have opened the line at -125 on Jarrett in anticipation of public money coming in on DJ( which would have been way low obviously, since the line as moved from -150 to 160 allready).

The one thing in DJ's favorite here however, is the fact that he will try to run a clean race and stay out of trouble and try and at least guarantee him a top 14 finish so he can remain in the hunt for the championship.

Like I said, a decent play on Waltrip at +150, but nothing to have orgasms about.

nice work FISH

The two I took were Jarrett over McMurray and Gordon over Johnson.

Good Luck to Team Fishhead today, and hopefully I can keep Team Jones behind us for another week.

Thanks HTRC!

Yes, you and Team Jones are in a dogfight!

Havent talked to Jones lately(he never calls), but I know he is a nervous wreck.

I like your selection of DJ of McMurray.......as McMurray has ran terrible here in his career(3 starts here lifetime and average finish of 29th).

I think your Gordon/Johnson match-up is a complete toss-up however. Perhaps JJ will remain snakebitten like the last two weeks and you will prevail.

 

[HateTheRiverCard]

McMurray has struggled and Jarrett needs a good finish and points today and yes although the JG and JJ match up is essentially a toss up today I think the fact that JJ has struggled the last couple of weeks pushed me towards that one today. (bad things happen in 3's, or at least I hope they do)

Will not wager on the race today. After last week's Finger Lakes debacle, Rick and I have been hanging out at the local AAMCO transmission shop.

Hopefully, he learned something.

This may also be my last week with Alfred E. Alltel. Win or hit the road dude. [I threatened him prior to the last Michigan race]. May just finish this thing with Lowe's and Home Depot.

Good Luck and may The River run dry today.

PS. Good talking to you again Fish.

Pretty tough race to figure. Newman always dangerous here. Jr ready for a win and up front from the go. Have a few on the outside with chances to get in the door for that final 10. Some guys up front may relax a bit. I am going to play on J. Gordon +101 over his teammate J. Johnson.

Good luck

Sadler has ran well all week long at Michigan.

4th in practice and 1st in Happy Hour.

JFYI

 

[Fishhead]

Best of racing luck to everybody here at the RX today.........I am off to watch the race on the BIG screen at Selmons.

Take care batracers!

Fish I'm on Sadler and Martin today. Both were tops in overall practice speeds. Sadler 5th in spring race.

 

[TheGeneral+]

I think maybe Martin got a bad deal here.

 

[HateTheRiverCard]

Agreed.

JJ struggled again today as I suspected for an easy JG match up win, the other ones a little tougher as Jarrett and McMurray are 3rd and 4th respectively.

Last Pit stops coming up, should be a great finish.

 

[HateTheRiverCard]

Dale Jarrett - 3rd

Congrats Randyrohm!!!

 

[Fishhead]

Congrats Randy!

Team MR. JONES is reeling......something I didnt expect.

On a personal note, TEAM FISHHEAD is virtually eliminated from the yearly prizes and will be concentrating on snagging a few weekly prizes from here on out only.
