JUNIOR BACK ON TRACK AT 10/1
Samsung Radio Shack 500, Texas Motor Speedway
Su Apr 9 – 1:30 pm EST (FOX)
After two consecutive weeks of short track racing, the Nextel Cup Series travels to the high-speed, 1.5 mile Texas Motor Speedway. Along with Atlanta, the Fort Worth track sees some of the fastest speeds in the Series. Kasey Kahne won that race in Atlanta, and he must be top of any short-list of drivers to win this week. The two tracks are very similar in
size, distance, banking and width. However, picking the winner this week is not that simple, as there is an even bigger (like most things in Texas) pool of candidates to win this week, so we’d be looking for bigger odds than the current 11/2 on Kahne.
Fortunately, at bet365, there are plenty of possible winners that fall into the 10/1 and over price range, including Dale Earnhardt Jr, who came out of the two-race short track schedule with respectable finishes of 4th and 11th. Junior is now sixth in the standings, just 50 points out of second
place, and has had very good success at Texas, where he won his first race Cup race in 2000. He was also third in Atlanta this season, so he looks a good each-way bet at bet365’s 12/1.
Mark Martin was one place ahead of Junior in Atlanta, and finished second in the last Texas race, so his chances are at least on a par with the rest of his Roush team-mates - Matt Kenseth (8/1), Greg Biffle (6/1), and Carl Edwards (8/1) – but his odds are more generous. A bigger long shot this
week could be Robby Gordon, after his great run at Atlanta. As the checkered flag waved, the necessary fuel stop turned a potential victory into a 28th-place finish, which was hardly a reflection of his commanding performance displayed throughout the 500-mile event. He was a 125/1 shot
that week and, while those sort of odds have gone, the 50/1 with bet365 looks worth taking.
Nigel’s Checkered Flag … Dale Earnhardt Jr @ 12/1 & Robby Gordon @ 50/1
(Each-way 1/4 odds, 1.2.3.4)
