NASCAR - Toyota/Save Mart 350 (Update) - Kahne - 33/1 Boylesports


NASCAR moves to a road course this weekend, one of only two road courses all season. This makes the race a bit uncertain as some drivers are ill suited to road courses and others excel at the different demands. Luckily the bookmakers also don't know which way to turn and have mostly based their books on historical results at the course rather than speeds this weekend.

Kasey Kahne has been in great form recently with 3 wins including at Ponoco (which is a bit more road like than some ovals), and was pretty quick in practice here. He has since put his car on pole for the race, so the Boylesports quote of 33/1 looks attractive (as short as 14/1 elsewhere). I tried to 2pts on but wasrestricted to 1 point win.

P.S. I've no plan to layoff my Russia bet for Euro 2008 - the only execption might be if Turkey beat Germany in the first semi-final (unlikely).
