Cracker Barrel Matchup and Props

NASCAR record 0-0.

I'll be watching the race today,
need a little rooting interest for action/fun.

Today's race is on concrete, a surface where traction is not as good and cars tend to slip more than when they're running on asphalt (I'm a fan of anything that might lead to more spinouts and crashes.) Getting data on NASCAR is sketchy, I read different stats at different sites but I believe there were 15 cautions in last year's race here - justifying my guilty pleasure for a play on the Over the number of Flags today, which the books have set at 10'.

I was looking for but can't find a matchup with odds I like on Chastain so I'm going with Preece, getting Dog odds in his matchup against Jussie Nascar.

LY (Last Year) nine different drivers led a lap at Nashville Speedway.
In '24 twelve different drivers led a lap.
The number this year is 9'.
I'll take a shot on the Over.

My plays:
Preece -105 Ov Smollett
Caution Flags Ov 10' +105
Total # of Drivers to Lead a Lap Ov 9', -130

32 laps in and not a single lead change.
This is isn't racing.
This is boring.
This keeps up I'm going to go channel surfing, looking for something with a little excitement in it.
Is there any curling on today?

Jussie just got penalized for speeding off of pit row.
He's down a lap.
Waaaay early but I like it for my matchup.

Well, that certainly was no fun.
Actually it was, I enjoyed watching the race (which is impossible without bets on it.)

Preece was ahead of Bubba and running well before he had the NASCAR equivalent of an own goal and spun out.

The flag prop started slow in Stage 1 but by the end of Stage 2 it was sitting at 7, or 3.5 per Stage with one Stage left, so I was on pace for where I needed to be for Ov 10'.
The final Stage is where you usually get most flags as people get desperate for positioning and trying to win.
Didn't happen, Stage 3 was boring.

Had over 9' on the "total number of drivers to lead a lap" and it landed on nine.
Missed when the two cars leading the race late both went in for pit stops at the same time, needed card number two to stay out for one more lap and get credit for a lead lab, but...no.

So, at the race's end I'm in a three unit hole.
And what's the first rule of digging holes?

Hopefully I'll be ignoring that rule and have something next week. Michigan is a good track for sports bettors who don't handicap NASCAR but overindulge themselves by playing the Over on the total number of caution flags prop and rooting for spinouts and crashes.
