MONKEY'S Atlanta picks

[MonkeyPants]

NASCAR goes back to the South this weekend for the Golden Corral 500 in Atlanta.

2005 Results:

WIN BETS: 0-3 -450
MATCHUPS: 5-1 +1000
NET: +550

WIN BET:

Jimmie Johnson TO WIN Golden Corral 500 +400 150/600.

MATCHUPS:

Jimmie Johnson -200 over Carl Edwards 600/300
Jeff Gordon -150 over Elliott Sadler 450/300

Jimmie Johnson has 9 consecutive top-10 finishes dating to last season. He was 4th in the spring race and won the October race in '04.

After losing the series lead following a 25-point penalty at Las Vegas for an infraction involving the height of his Chevrolet, don't think Johnson's not motivated.

Sticking with Hendrick for Gordon also as Sadler finished 29th and 36th in the 2 Atlanta races last year. Gordon was 10th in the Spring event.

One Lap.

I lost three weeks worth of profits and a 4th consecutive winning week on one lap.

If Johnson holds off Edwards, I chalk up 600 for the win (instead lost 150) and win the head-to-head matchup with Edwards for 300 (instead lost 600). All in all it was a 1650.00 swing by just .028 seconds!

It was quite a finish, but I was shocked that it all came crumbling down like that :scared

New Totals:

WIN BETS: 0-4 -600
MATCHUPS: 5-3 - 50
NET: -650
