Is this Pocono? SS in the Lead `WoW....Go Chevy lol

Side-by-side racing. Beatin' and bangin'. Attitude issues. For once, Pocono had some real excitement and our writers loved every minute of it. They are also impressed with Ron Hornaday's streak of five and debate The Glen vs. Wine Country in Track Smack.

To the head of the bus

Marcos Ambrose made his move on Kyle Busch at the chicane known as the bus stop, survived two double-file restarts and held on to win his second consecutive Zippo 200 at The Glen. After dropping back to third, Busch made a daring pass on Carl Edwards to post his record-setting 10th consecutive top-two finish in the Nationwide Series.

That got a laugh out of me!

'Space's picks look really good, but I'll come up with some others. Really tho, I was think those same 3.

I've been to Watkins Glen once way back in '94. I'll always remember the year because Woodstock '94 was on at the same time only a few miles away - we felt the traffic. Its a crappy race to go and see in person. I imagine its a bit better these days, but back then there was no jumbotron or any monitors. We sat in the first corner and a tiny little "grandstand" (more like high school football field bleachers) and saw virtually nothing. I spent racing time shopping at the concessions and scored a cool Smokin' Joe's Racing Jimmie Spencer leather hat. I didn't even like Jimmie Spencer but he had cool merchandise. That was the only race that I was ever at that Mark Martin won, but I wasn't even a fan yet.

Picks - well, Junior will not win today. He did have a good run at Infineon until Carl spun him at the end, so he's not that bad on a road course. But he won't win. I expect to see Kyle Busch strangle himself. I was disappointed that Gilliland didn't make the race - he has impressed me on road courses. Boris Said is the Dale Jr. of road course racing - everybody knows he's good and has high expectations of him, but he never gets the results. Something always goes wrong for Boris. Kasey Kahne has shown flashes a road course brilliance last few races.

It'll be a good race with a change of pace, but I'm still picking a repeat of 1994
