Telcel-Motorola 200

[Maxx40]

No Cup Race this week just Busch series which is in Mexico.

YTD Totals(Busch&Cup):

To win picks: (1-8) -1.75 units
Match-ups : (7-5) +5.45 units
Total units:---------+3.70

Picks to win:

Tough call here. No one guy stands out among 4 that I've been looking at.
Those 4 are: Scott Pruett, Denny Hamlin and Juan Pablo Montoya all listed at 5-1, and Boris Said at 5 1/2-1. I will be looking at this probably till around noon on Sunday before making a decision. If anyone has anything to add please feel free to do so.

Match-ups:

5.00 units Boris Said (-125 @ Olympic) over Ron Fellows
5.00 units Scott Pruett(-125 @ sportsbook.com) over Ron Fellows

Fellows is a good road-course driver but he has never had the success in Nascar(outside of Watkins Glen) that these other two have had.

Since 2005, Fellows has been in 8 total events(4 cup/4 busch). His results were 2 Top 10's but 6 finishes of 25th or worse. All road course races.

During the same period, Said(in the same 8 events) has 6 Top 10's (2 in the Top 5) and only 2 finishes of 25th or worse. For Pruett in 6 events 3 Top 10's(4 Top 15), and I think he is the smoothest of all road-course ringers. Also, starting on the pole will help.

Hopefully, the momentum from last Sunday will carry over.

To win:

1.00 unit-Scott Pruett(5-1 @ Olympic)- Been a long time since a hired gun came in and won a Nascar event but think Pruett has a very good chance. Was a regular in Cup just a few years ago.

0.50 unit-Carl Edwards(10-1 @ Olympic)-I'll give a look here to Edwards who has an 8th and a 3rd in two races here. Crew chief P.K. seems to be confident that have the right set-up and Edwards says he loves driving here.

Good luck Maxx.

Got a good beatdown last weekend...hoping to recoup a little.

Im going with JP Montoya (4.5 - 1) I think he can win and this is a storybook spot for him.
Hamlin Over Said (-125) Hamlins car today won last year and was running second at WG before he skidded through Newmans blown up engine last road course race.

1 unit ea.

GLTA actually

Thanks, BASEHEAD. Good Luck to you as well. For me it came down to Pruett and Montoya they seem to be the best of the bunch this weekend. Ganassi seems to have something going in Mexico.

Congrats to BASEHEAD. Good call on JPM and your match-up winner. That should help you get over last week.

Pruett should just shut up and be happy for his teammate
