Not at all worried

You don't have to remind Carl Edwards he's winless in 2009 -- he knows it. He also knows that even though he isn't winning, he is pleased with his performance thus far.

nascar has kinda taken a step back for me, since dale jr isn't really doing all that good! it really hasn't been the same since the dale sr accident and his passing away at daytona!! the guys at DEI and RCR have had their struggles also!! but as always i'll go with my picks!!

1 dale jr
2 happy harvick
3 ??? jimmy johnson, he always has a way of winning almost every week it seems!!

 

'Space pick Jr. & Martin! Who am I going to pick? It ain't gonna be Kyle Busch, that's for sure! He is such a loser! Did you here him crying after the Nationwide race because he was bested by Vickers (who lost to Keselowski)? I found it very unsportsman like - not so much because of his reactions or harsh words, but what he was reacting to. God forbid he not get a crack at the win. Anyways, for the Sprint Cup race he qualified a meek 39th. He was twelth fastest in the last practice session, but he could only get up to 33rd fastest in other sessions. Michigan is a run away track and Kyle Busch is going to get buried tomorrow. Truex does good a MIS. Peblo is hot - I gotta give it to him. He's been racing smart. Junior is due and awesome at MIS. He can get away with running the high groove all day, which is his style. When happy hour was over the fastest man was still Mark Martin. All indications are that this is going to be a Hendrick runaway train, which is why 'Spaces picks are so good.

Mine:
1. Mark Martin (anyways)
2. Brad Keselowski
3. Brian Vickers

I'm still pickin' Martin, even if it is unoriginal to. I give you Jr 'Space since he does better without me.

Let's play another game which my race buddies and I like to play. Pick the driver who's going to cause the first caution. We can't gamble on this because the cause is always debatable. But 9 times out 10 we find the answer is my pick this time:

1st Caution: Robbie Gordon

 

first caution could be robby gordon, actually he could do it on the 1 to go before the green flag start of the race??? i'll go with hmmmmm??? let me say kurt busch!!!!!

 

.....Thanks Brent for your fun words/post. I always enjoy reading your posts & how U R think'in : ) Who I think will win & who I want to win are always different 4-Sure. I hope Joey `L does good 2day 2 : ) Chris, great pick for first caution : ) I hope he takes Kyle `out : ) lol....

Toughest driver may not be who you think

For Jeff Gordon, pain is part of his life now and possibly, forever.
Done back talking

 

Did you say who you think will cause the first caution 'Space? Or was your pick Kyle Busch (excellent choice)? Or does some beach village ideology prevent you from forecasting negative energy like that? Its probably bad karma to wish bad things upon drivers, but we're not really wishing here, just predicting. Kyle Busch is in a very bad place karmically anyways.

 

LoL `Brent, I would like 2 C Vicker's cause the first caution by knock'in Kyle `off the track WoW..., no injuries to him, but only take his car off the track....I sure wish I had Kyle's talent, but sure not his personality....He needs a wake `up call....He acts like a little baby that doesn't get their way..
It's going to be a interesting race today...but the winner still needs that Rac'in Lady Luck 2 stay in the Front 4 the Win...
4-Sure.....I think it would be a good lesson and a humble experience 4 `Kyle, not 2 make the `Chase..... 4-220+MPH SURE : )

 

first caution RAIN, not again?? should be short from what they are saying, a brief shower, the track is already drying!!!! rain, rain go away??
