NASCAR Nextel Cup Series – Pop Secret 500

Sun Sep 5 – 7: 00 pm EST ( NBC )

With 2 races remaining before the Playoff field is set, Nascar goes back to California for the Pop Secret 500. With 4 drivers already having clinched their place in the Playoff, the race will be on for the remaining places among 9 drivers. This could mean a race where any number of drivers could contend. Kasey Kahne (9/1) will look at this race as perhaps his last chance to push himself into the top 10, on a race track which should suit. Expect him to run hard.

Another driver on the edge is Mark Martin (10/1). He has been one of the most consistent of drivers in the last few weeks, and has had one of the fastest cars on the long races. Obviously we cannot forget about the favourites, and both Jeff Gordon (11/2) and Jimmie Johnson (7/1), despite already gaining their place in the Playoffs, have the track craft to contend. With no pressure on him, Jeff Gordon who has the best overall record on this track is a no brainer, when it comes to choosing
your 1-2 for this race.

Nigel’s Checkered Flag … Mark Martin !

Get in the game and be lucky!
