There has been alot of controversy throughout the weekend reguarding the tires and how hard they are. There is alot of top teams, that havnt hit on the setup. There will be atleast 8 pit stops because of the 13 gallon fuel cell, so pit strategy will play a big role as well as a solid pit crew that can get the changes done all day long. Alot of the books seem to be relying on qualifying times but those are a little under valued because for one, its only 2 laps and two the guys who ran at the end of the qualifying session have a 2-3 tenths advantage as the sun was fully cloud covered making for a colder track and better overal grip. A good qualifying run will get you a good pit stall.

Outright win pick -- Clint Bowyer +2500 bodog.com -- 1 UNIT PLAY
Clint bowyer was tops in final practice and practice 2 on saturday. He is being offered at thegreek.com at +1525, +2500 at bodog.com, and 18-19:1 everywhere else. +2500 for a driver who has been getting hotter and hotter lately (6 top tens in last 7 races), and who is tops in both final practices is a good deal.
