DAYTONA 500 2/19/06 (2:20 EST NBC)**

The Steam:

2* DALE EARNHARDT JR +452** (Pinnacle)

Normal Plays:

1/2* TONY STEWART +526 (Pinnacle)

1/2* JEFF GORDON +432 (Pinnacle)

1/4* KYLE BUSCH +1600 (SportsInteraction)

--------------------------------

Longshots:

.15* MARTIN TRUEX JR +3250 (Pinnacle)

1/10* MICHAEL WALTRIP +4500 (Bodog)

** Backing the #8 car today as this is the 5 year anniversary of the crash that killed Earnhardt Sr. Earnhardt Jr is back with his old crew chief this year, and I have heard this is the best car they have ever had! Nothing like bouncing back from a sub par (1 win) season and winning the Daytona 500, eh? Go #8!

Tony Stewart is worth 1/2* play as this is the only thing (a Daytona 500 WIN) missing on his career resume. He was dominant here winning last July and has led the most laps in the Daytona 500 for the last 3 years!

Hit 2* Best Bet with Gordon in this race last year, so we'll play him for 1/2* on principle.........

Kyle Busch is a 1/4* "Value Play" as SIA is off on this #. Most shops have Kyle Busch +900 to +1050. He is Gordon's teammate and is as aggressive as they come.

Just having fun with the 2 longshots, but I think it's worth 1/4 of a unit spread among these 2 (Waltrip and Truex Jr)

2002- +9100 (hit only 5* NASCAR play ever with Mark Martin @ 20/1 in Coca Cola 600!)
2003- +4450
2004- +4700
2005- +2600 (NASCAR 4* "Play of the Year" Jimmie Johnson +550 WON Coca Cola 600!)
2006- ?
