Season-long Auto Racing thread - Texas Motor Speedway May 1-3

He somehow races towards the front AND saves his tires.

This is the key absolutely. By the end of every run his tires are so much better than every one else’s.

I'm sure it happens to everyone on the bets we considered but passed on for some reason.
But, I woulda shoulda coulda dropped a bet on McDowell in some of the H2H. He's racing well here.

 

[BigJay]

Blaney definitely looks better than SVG on the long run so far. Very long race as we know.

@BigJay BTW my wife is super pissed at you. I had given up focusing on Nascar every Sunday a few years ago. I still bet the races routinely but didn't spend Sundays watching the races.

As a result, we spent more time together on Sundays.

Now, she's pissed I'm back in it so deep, like I used to be. Of course I blamed you.

That guy is driving away from everyone. Amazing run by him. Hopefully, someone gives him a run at the end.

Was going to pick Blaney up live at a 6.25/1 earlier but they still haven’t graded my Palou win from 2.5 hours ago.

Blaney's average finishing position in the last 10 road course races (16.3).
Blaney's average finsihing position at COTA (15.0).
I guess every dog has his day.

Where are you seeing live bets?
Kalshi?

Good point. You're right. It's still early.

Don’t understand why any of those guys stayed out to get stage points.

Only SVG has a chance to drive back through the field it seems. Everyone else kills their chances.

Hey @Tanko can you put all of our H2H and Tiebreakers in the @roofer contest in one post or bump it if it’s already been done?

I’m having trouble keeping up with who I’m rooting for

That was nuts...

Totally can’t believe those guys didn’t pit with the leaders Stage 2.

Harvick got so confused thinking Blaney messed up too. Reddick just pitted a lap early, so the pits were still open.

Gibbs for example had a chance to win the race. Gave it up for stage points. Suarez too.

I really hate stage points sometimes.

Gibbs/Suarez screwed now without something crazy happening.

Its gonna be tight. Might come down to those tiebreakers.

Might come down to Cody freaking ware. I knew I should have chosen first TB pick lol

Love is going to screw me on the tie-breaker.

Love is going to screw me on the tie-breaker.

If it comes down to adding up our two tiebreaker guys I think I’m the best (worst) right now.

 

[BigJay]

SVG just doesn’t seem like he has a winning car right now. Just a top-5 car.

Let’s see if he proves me wrong
