KOBALT TOOLS 500
ATLANTA MOTOR SPEEDWAY
ODDS - PREDICTIONS - 3/9/08
At the Atlanta 500, also known as the Kobalt Tools 500,
starting position figures a little more prominently than it did last week in
Vegas. Heading into last years race, winners came from the top 5 starting
positions 42% of the time while coming from the top 10 positions 71% of the
time. 71% is a significant number here and should be considered when
handicapping and making picks for this race.
Looking for drivers with success in Atlanta when making your
picks? How about Mark Martin. He's finished 2, 3, 4, and 10th in the last 5
years. Other drivers with success in Atlanta would be Jimmy Johnson, Jeff
Gordon, Matt Kenseth, Tony Stewart and Carl Edwards. Juan Montoua came in 5th
last year.
If you're looking for a manufacturer edge, Chevy has won 9 of
the last 15 races here. So, from our handicapping so far in just a few
paragraphs, we know we want to look closely any Chevy with a top 10 starting
position driven by one of the drivers we named above. See how easy making your
own NASCAR picks can be!

Jimmie Johnson -125 over Jeff
Gordon - We'll give Johnson a try here. He has won the last
two times in Atlanta and has a 2nd place and 6th place finish as well.
He has beaten Gordon 3 of the last 4 at this track and 3 of the last 4
races overall.
Jeff Burton -110 over Clint
Bowyer - What's not to like about this play. Burton has
beaten Bowyer the last 4 races at this track as well as the last 4 races
overall. He's in the all important 7th pole position compared to Bowyers
23rd (71% of the winners here come from top 10) The price is right.
Just two plays this week. There are other plays we like
but the price was just too high.
