Pocono 500

[mvbski]

Don't play alot of qualifying matchups but found one I like alot. Jeff Gordon ov Kyle Busch Gordon -130

Pocono could be one of the toughest tracks for rookies since the Busch series doesn't race there so this will be Kyles first look at this odd track.Gordon has a outstanding qualifying record here with a average starting position of 9.6 with two poles.I am sure Busch has never raced on a track that even comes close to resembeling Pocono with it's three different turns and different banking in each turn.I know he is a excellent qualifier but I see this track getting the best of him here.

Taking a shot another old timer this week. Dale Jarret 49-1 at Pinny 2 units. This car was built especially for this track and Michigan.

Any thoughts or opinions on this?

While the asymmetrically shaped Pocono will still give teams fits in 2005, it will be a brand new type of racing though for many of the NEXTEL Cup Series competitors as it marks the first time in several years that drivers will not be able to shift due to the gear rule in place for 2005. Many of the drivers that make up the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series today weren’t around before shifting came into play at Pocono. Preparing for the new gear rule for Pocono this weekend has forced many teams to re-evaluate their Pocono race packages.

What kind of s**t is this that Speed cuts out of final practice for an ARCA replay or something?

Forget all about this [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img] was thinking the shifting would hurt Busch

R Wallace ov Kyle Busch Wallace -120 at Mansion I hate to pick on Busch but I think this track will get the best of him

WSEX has Wimmer paired with Bliss.

Bliss has dominated the matchup on the year, but is hurt.
They will put Gaughan in for Bliss.
Team might lose a lap in the process, will definetely go to the back of the field.
Gaughan finished 39th and 28th last year.

Taking Wimmer.

Same matchup is available at Wagerweb, slightly higher juice for Wimmer.
