Morgan Lucas @ 20-1.....could be a nice fat $20 bet.....just picked up Rahn Tobler as crew chief.......it could happen.....might have to give one of the Station Casino's a call.

[Bob Orme]

The best bet on that board is the field in Funny Car at 15-1. The odds maker left Robert Hight off the list of individual drivers with posted odds.

[G Schenck]

Hight would be a good bet at 15 to 1.
If they had comp eliminator odds , I would have to go with Shelly Anderson, if doesn't go red, she will be fast with a 6.90 index.
