Most of those guys met the President in '09... maybe he's not a friendly host? Hmmmmm. American media loves this crap though.
Anywho, Maybe Carl Edwards is too busy trying to keep Aflac on for the races that Fastenal won't sponsor next year? Maybe they're all oging ot go party up Dale Jr. signing a 5 year extension with Hendrick?
It also looks like David Ragan may be in troubel for sponsors... UPS wants to discontinue 36 race sponsorship in favor of sponsoring Edwards for a handful of races (rumor says, but in NASCAR, lots of rumors come true), so if no one will sponsor him, I wouldn't be surprised if an announcement of Bayne or Stenhouse coming to Cup turns up.....

Alright gentlemen, I think I'm ready to do this....
I think the race is goign to be in part a big battle between Stewart, Hamlin, and Keselowski. Stewart and Hamlin just want in the chase... Keselowski wants to get into the Top 10 and use those bonus points... and he was running 5th the year Edwards put him in the wall!! Fast in qualifying, fast in final practice.... but practice was in the afternoon, and drivers are saying they don't know what will happen as the night comes on and the track cools off.
But I want guys who are hot right now, and guys who are good at this race track....
Therefore, I want a Chevy, a Dodge, and a Ford....
1) Jeff Gordon
2) Brad Keselowski
3) Carl Edwards
Ford's last!
So I haven't won since Bristol in March, but I am currently the overall poitns leader. My birthday was this week, and I won a trophy at an All Ford Show (Top 25) in Henderson ,NC Today..... I'm feeling lucky....
Now that speech was perfect for setting myself up to fall on my own face.
Here's my car and my trophy!

I think BradK just snapped his momentum by finishing 7th in last night Nationwide race. Not a terrible finish (especially considering how terrible he was running), but he'd have been better off avoiding Nationwide for a while.
But Carl picked up some momentum. He not hot like he was at the beginning of the year, but he's about to get hot again. Lots of guys have swept Atlanta over the year, and Carl won last night.
I was geared up to pick Martin again. He was fast in practice. And if he ever comes through I want to be on-board! But then he qualified like crap! The car is going away before the race even begins!
And I think Pony & Hamlin need to watch out for Bowyer. Bowyer looked great in the truck race (2nd) and was good in practice. With a win he'll take Hamlin's Chase spot away. He could get Pony's spot without a win.
So I pick:
1. Carl Edwards
2. Clint Bowyer
3. Dale Jr

The difference is that Junior never qualifies well. Martin usually only finishes well when he qualifies well. But no doubt about it - I'm sketchy on my picks...
But the pending rain makes this whole race a crap shoot. Do you think they'll even get it in? If they do it will most certainly be shortened and that throw everyone strategy out the window. The weather is supposed to only get worse over the next few days. How would it affect the Chase if they couldn't get the race in at all? And this whole "Sprint Summer Showdown" is supposed to be settled. I'd really like to see BradK win so a lucky fans life would change and win a million bucks. Not to mention a million for charity. That would be really cool. And rain threatens it all...
