I've been working hard on this race and I really like my strategy, but I strongly urge all members to check out Wayne's picks on this forum (I'm guessing he'll post Sunday morning before the race). He's the best there is at NASCAR>
I'm using $200 as a wager amount for illustration purposes. It can be $20, or $20,000 but the increments should be the same. Odds from Olympic Sports at time of this post.
$100 on Jeff Gordon at +450
Likeliest winner of the race. Hendrick team is in great form. Gordon always drives well here. DEI advantage on restrictor plate tricks not as dominant as it once was. Unfortunately, the price here sucks and doesn't offer much value.
$80 on Tony Stewart at +1000
Won one of the twin 150s Thursday. Qualified well. Been in contention at Daytona again and again. Many make a big deal over his not testing here this winter. That's silly. The Gibbs team tested the car. Very live longshot and my second choice to win the race.
$20 on Kasey Kahne at +3500
This is my hunch pick. He still hasn't won a Nextel Cup race despite constantly contending. How about getting his first win at the biggest race of all?
Futures bet on winning season championship
2 units on Jimmie Johnson at 5-1
1 unit on Jeff Gordon at 5-1
Hendrick team has been unstoppable. Both guys seem a cinch to end up in the top ten and therefore be in the "chase for the championship." Johnson 2nd in points two years in a row and Gordon a multiple past champion.
