The Sprint Cup series moves to Talledega on Sunday. At 2.66 miles it's the largest and one of the fastest tracks on the circuit. The Tri Oval track is notorious for it's big crashes because drivers are traveling nearly 200 miles per hour. 11 of the past 13 Nascar Sprint Cup races at Talledega were won by a member of the Hendrick's racing team or Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. though is the midst of a 70 race losing streak heading into the Aaron's 499 on Sunday. Another driver who will be among the favorites will be Jeff Gordon who has 4 wins in his last 8 over the track. But Jeff Gordon has had his share or problems this season with 3 DNF's on the season including a 39th place finish on a Superspeedway at the Daytona 500. The short odds on Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. would not make for a good bet this week and it's time to look for a live longshot this week. We are coming off back-to-back winners on the Nascar Sprint Cup Circuit with Carl Edwards at 7-1 at Texas and Jimmy Johnson at 5-1 at Phoenix. Two winners in two tries this season and a +10 unit return on our Nascar straight up plays is pretty darn good.
