How's your weekend going?

Our Executive Service ran the table yesterday with Chicago (-3), Washington (-3.5) and Cleveland (-3.5) all winning. That brings our Executive Selections to an outstanding 9-2 against the pointspread this season.

Greg Allen's Private Plays went 2-1 Saturday as the New York Yankees lost to Boston while both of Greg's NASCAR matchups romped to victory. Greg's two drivers actually finished one-two again this week. It's impossible to do better than that.

If you are curious about what an informed NASCAR writeup looks like, here's Gerg Allen's analysis from yesterday - exactly as it went to all members.

The NASCAR race today is from Bristol Motor Speedway - The Thunderdome. A typical race at this short track involves tons of contact, many cautions and about 15 cars finishing on the lead lap. I've found two matchups that appear to provide a good advantage to us, providing bad racing luck of course.

SHARPIE 500
7:30 pm Eastern

MARK MARTIN -110
OVER
J GORDON
I had mark Martin last week and he had a top-3 car all race until he ran out of fuel within eyesight of the finish line and had 30 cars pass him within 5 seconds. The number 5 car is dialed in again as this team actually stopped practicing early yesterday because it was obvious they could not improve on the setup. Mark Martin was fastest in practice and then he went out and qualified for the pole. That gave him first choice for the pit stall as well- that's a major advantage at this track. A bad-fast car in first pit position is the perfect combination for success at this venue.

KYLE BUSCH -110
OVER
T STEWART
Tony Stewart leads the Sprint Cup series in points and it's starting to look as if Kyle Busch will miss the playoffs. Kyle is hungry and he needs to finish up front and get some help in order to have a chance at running for the championship. Kyle was wrecked out (by a 19 year old rookie) of last night's Nationwide series race and the fans cheered wildly that he was out of the contest. Kyle leads all drivers in laps led at this track since they went to the new car. Kyle has led 832 laps in the five COT races at Bristol. Only one other driver has led as many as 500 laps here. Kyle's average finishing position is 6th at Bristol - best in this field. Tony Stewart's average finish at Bristol is 15.6. I'll expect an aggressive race from Kyle today and better driving than last night -- from those around him.

Editor note:
Mark Martin finished in 2nd place.
Jeff Gordon finished 23rd - one lap down.

Kyle Busch won the race.
Tony Stewart finished 33rd - 11 laps down.
