Picks/Bristol/Sun Afternoon
you might just have to go to "plan b"
Brent is most likely going to end up looking like he went to Woodstock and never came back.....
The thing is, Dale Jr will never win a race in the situation he is currently in.
1) Junior doesn't have nearly the enthusiasm the used to have 8-10 years ago when eh was winning races pretty often, and when he won those 4 in a row at Talladega. He seems depressed tehse days... I think the media and fan attention taht he can't shake is getting to him myself.
2) His crew chief is Steve Letarte. Retarte won races in the old car, but you can look back at those races from '08 (first full season of the new car) until he ceased being Jeff Gordon's crew chief, and you will see plenty of races where Jeff Gordon spent the first 100 laps to first half of a race being the dominant car, then the car just started slipping through the field, Retarte didn't keep up with the car and the adjustments, and then Letarte makes a bad call at the end (2 tires when he should have done 4, 4 when he should have done 2, pit when he should have styaed out, stay out when he should have pitted), heck, even the announcersquestioned his calls a couple of times.
As long as Junior has Letarte on teh box, he will not win a race because the crew chief can't handle the pressure as the race winds down.
I'd loev to be called a liar... but I make bold predictions and I stand behind them. If Junior gets a new crew chief back on the box, he may win again. Eury Sr got back on the box for him at that Nationwide race when he ran the Wrangler car in the Nationwide, and Junior won the race again. If Earnhardt wasn't more interested in JR Motorsports and selling Danica Patrick (Whcih I am beginning to think is a scheme to get some attention of himself) and got Eury Sr out of that organization and back on his own pit box, he might win because Eury Sr knew how to push Earnhardt and knew what to give Earnhardt at teh end of a race to get those wins. Letarte doesn't
Brent, hope you enjoy being called Santa Claus by little kids at Christmas....

bblackstone, you realize there is no way to win with those picks? Silverfish took all in Kyle Busch, Brent just took all in Greg Biffle. You may run well, but you won't win.
Adgm, you realize you can never win since Hunter posted the all in Kyle Busch picks before you did? And Leprechaun, you realize you can never win because Junior Car Brent posted all in Biffle before you did, correct?
