GOOD SAM RV INSURANCE 500 Preview: Breaking Down the Field

Racing fans are excited to see that the GOOD SAM RV INSURANCE 500 will get underway this weekend and online sportsbook Bet Phoenix has all the odds on this race to include odds on who will win the event.

Jamie McMurray made racing history for team owner Chip Ganassi last year by With that in mind here is a look at some of the best racers in the field for the event.

Matt Kenseth – Kenseth finished 8th at Pocono earlier this season. In the last 11 races here Kenseth has finished 18th or better every race. Kenseth is a mediocre qualifier at best but don’t let that scare you away. At Indy Kenseth had perhaps the second best car. (Yahoo A Driver)

Carl Edwards – In June a broken valve relegated Edwards to a 37th place finish. Last August Cousin Carl finished 3rd. Edwards has two wins at Pocono and a 14th place average finish.

Juan Pablo Montoya – Montoya finished 7th in the prior race at Pocono this year. He led 38 laps and had a 4th place average running position. Montoya ran in the top 15 for 99% of the race. Montoya has finished in the top ten in four out of the last five Pocono races.

Ryan Newman – Newman is a previous Pocono winner who finished 9th earlier this year. Newman was about a tenth place driver for the entirety of the race. He started 8th, had a mid race running position of 10th, and had an overall average running position of 9th.

Kyle Busch – Busch finished third in June. Personally I would avoid picking him this week. He’s always a risky pick at Pocono. All of his top ten finishes at Pocono Raceway have come in the June race. In the August race he hasn’t finished in the top fifteen since 2007.

Tony Stewart – Stewart finished 21st at Pocono but how good was he really? When it comes to that question I always turn to Yahoo! race charts. Stewart was competitive but the new gear rule at Pocono damaged his engine and doomed his day.

Paul Menard – Let’s not get to excited about his Indy win and be a prisoner of the moment. Don’t forget it was a fuel mileage win. At Pocono Menard finished 14th earlier this year. In the late summer race last year he finished 13th. RCR cars make very good horsepower and get good gas mileage so expect a teens place showing. If your league rewards qualifying points don’t forget he qualified second earlier this year.

David Reutimann – Reutimann’s career got off to a rocky start at Pocono but 2009 was a turning point. In the early summer race that year he finished 3rd and in the late summer race he was very impressive but Denny Hamlin the eventual winner wrecked him. In June, Reutimann finished 13th. I would expect him to finish right around that range again.

Anyone can win this race and it will be interesting to tune in and see who gets the checkered flag!
