MONKEY'S Vegas Picks

[MonkeyPants]

NASCAR stays out west with the annual March stop in Las Vegas. This is the 8th year of Cup Series racing in Sin City. I'll be out of town this weekend, so I have to put the picks up prior to qualifying.

2005 Records:

WIN BETS: 0-2 -300
MATCHUPS: 4-0 +1050
NET: +750

WIN BET:

Kurt Busch +1000 TO WIN UAW Daimler Chrysler 400 150/1500

MATCHUPS:

Kurt Busch -140 over Jamie McMurray 280/200
Kasey Kahne -125 over Ryan Newman 250/200

Busch placed 9th in this race a year ago and has shown that consistent championship form from '04.

Ford has won 5 of 7 events held in Las Vegas.

Kahne's struggles continued. He wasn't really competitive and hit the wall midway through the race. Won the matchup with Kurt Busch, but even with the pit road problem causing the 97 to drop back in position with 70 to go, Johnson seemed to have the best car all day.

Updated Numbers: WIN BETS: 0-3 -450
MATCHUP BETS: 5-1 +1000
