Three more days to get those picks rolling in!!! The storm seems like i'ts going to track farther east than was suspected earlier in the week, so Bristol will most certainly be missed (as of now) and chances are I'm just going to get a little rain out of it if I get that here.

I have computer issues again. Lucky I have an iPad. But I'll be brief. I'm picking exactly like last week. And Martin is now well within striking range of the wild card spot with a win now, as long as no one 10-20 grabs a second win. Martin has 3 races to get it done. He was runner up 2 years ago. Junior has a great record here - Bristol is actually his best average finish. He was even getting top 10's with McGrew here (good news for Martin). And obviously BradK is rolling. No need to change anything about those picks!

1. Mark Martin
2. Brad K
3. Dale Jr

I might change something after qualifying

8th overall is not to terrible. If I wouldn't have forgotten that one week i'd be ok. I'm gonna start lobbing to the MCF nascar governing board that we throw out everyones lowest scoring week and that will put me right back in this thing Where do I send the check

Well Brent unless I missed it, I dont remember any Martin winning. Gonna have to check on that. EDIT: Not seeing it Brent, must have had a brain fart.... anyways Didnt even know truck race was last night. Harvick wins the last 3 truck races. On a roll, lets see him pull one off Sat night. I will probably have to listen to it on radio, going camping.

What I meant is that if Martin wins in the next 3 races, he will likely move into the Chase wild card spot - he is high enough in the points now

Mark Martin was good at Bristol when BILL CLINTON WAS THE PRESIDENT!!!!!! Heck, one of the pickers here doesnt' even remember that!!!!

Anywho, I may lose power.. .that storm has now taken a western turn. I'll try to post every so oftne to let you know I'm still alive. If I haven't got picks up within an hour of the end of the race, feel free to figure out points without me. One of the models has the eye of this storm coming pretty much straight over my house. We lost power for a week when Hurricane Fran came over in 1996. That's when we got our first generator.

Even having a generator... I do'nt think dad or myself are willing to go out there at 9:00 p.m. in the 80 mph winds and try to get that thing going so we can have power.... if that is indeed when it goes out... but this is Bristol, and I might.

The king of Bristol, Kyle Busch, was slow in both practices and qualified 23rd!!!!! Could his reign be over? I may have to take back the one pick I was comfortable with!

Alright... so Kyle Busch had some issues in the truck race... and I am going to go against the King of Bristol right now and say his run ends at 5!!! I'm going for a Bristol sweep... so far my one and only Fantasy win was Bristol, and Kyle Busch led that team. This time, however... I want....

1) Carl Edwards
2) Jimmie Johnson
3) Brad Keselowski


Time to sit back and watch Pyle Busch dominate this Nationwide series race.....
