This is a good ***** out challenge that the Busch boys don't like to survive. No one will forget them wrecking each other 2 years ago. Unfortunately this really is Jimmie's track. I can't not pick 'em. Junior would be a good pick just 'cause this one don't count. I know Martin has won it before, but I dunno. Thats what I really wanna see, but I'll deny myself that pick.

1. Jimmie Johnson
2. Kasey Kahne
3. AJ Allmendinger

????

Guess who I pick to get in through the Sprint Open or whatever they call it now.

1. Carl Edwards
2. AJ Allmendinger

AJ Almendinger actually won this race in '08 driving for Red Bull.

But then Carl wins the fan vote.

Its all so confusing.....

 

 

Does anyone know the rule?

The fan vote is revealed after the Sprint open The Sprint Open's top 2 finishers transfer to the All-Star Race. Another driver will get it via fan vote from a pole that has been on Nascar.com for months.

If the fan vote in a driver who has already raced his way in, how is the third transfer spot determined? Who ever got 3rd in the Open? Whoever got the second most fan votes? Or is there no 3rd transfer spot?

Ooooooohh... I'm pretty pissed off at your boy Logano 'Space! He straight up wrecked Martin. I've watched the replay a few times. McMurray hit Martin first, which got him loose, but did no harm. Then for no apparent reason Logano changes lanes to draft with Hamlin. Problem was that Martin was already there. Pretty direct looking shove. It is possibly a spotter error, but Logano has some explaining (and apologizing) to do...

Kyle Busch was hilarious! He said over his radio that he was "going to kill Hamlin"! After he finished his own car off he waited at Hamlin hauler (presumably waiting to "kill" him). Unfortunately they didn't cover the confrontation on tv. I don't see anyway that Hamlin could be held accountable for Kyle's woes - he never touched him. And then Kyle behaves like that? To be a Kyle Busch fan must be such a challenge. It takes a thick skin person who doesn't embarrass easy. Even Hornish wrecks with more class.

And how about Peblo in the Open? Predictably, he blamed Regan Smith (who was having an out-of-character awesome agressive run) for his wreck, but Smith could not have given Peblo more room. Not to mention that Regan was the faster car. Peblo said Smith wouldn't give him any room, but Smith was against the wall and didn't come down an inch. I have never seen Peblo admit a mistake. Always someone else fault. And I don't know if there is a driver who is harder on equipment. This guy should be homeless.

 

 

Making it clear

Kurt Busch may not show up in as many headlines as his baby brother, but he and his crew chief hope the All-Star Race victory will give the team the momentum it craves.
