This Week at Bristol
Bristol is a track prone to streaks. Richard Petty, Darrell Waltrip, Dale Earnhardt, Rusty Wallace, Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards, Kyle Busch, and most recently, Brad Keselowski have been dominant drivers for a time period at Bristol. Last August, Brad K lost his grip pretty strongly but he may come back strong this week, it's hard to say. With a new car, new manufacturer, it's hard to say what old Brad K might pull off this week.
So lets get rolling...
Chevrolet Teams
Hendrick
The Hendrick cars have come out of the gate strong for sure this year. At Bristol, I think you have to make sure you avoid Jimmie Johnson. He might win the race, I don't know, he has run well here before, but he just isn't that great at Bristol generally.
Kasey Khane is hard to read at Bristol. But I don't think he will be as big of a threat as his teammate.s..
Last year, Junior was a force to be reckoned with at Bristol. Remember him cutting Gordon's tire with his exhaust? They were both racing in the top 5.
Gordon has been good at Bristol since they made it a progressive banking track, but he hasn't won recently. It would be cool to see Gordon win another one at Bristol...
Stewart Haas
It seems like when they introduced the COT and repaved Bristol, Stewart lost any love for this track he may have ever once had. But this year, the track has been ground since summer and it's an ew car again. If Stewart practices and qualifies well, I might swing for him. Otherwise, I'm staying way.
Newman might get one of his 1-2 wins a year this weekend, but I don't think ti's likely until we get back to the flat tracks.
Danica might make it to the finish...
Childress
Harvick was strong at Las Vegas, strong at Daytona, and mediocre at Phoenix. but Bristol suits the mans style and I think Harvick might be in the mix at Bristol.
The rest of those guys... well, Burton is actually decent on concrete tracks and was good at Phoenix, but it seems like he has used up all his luck for his career.
Menard... I don't know, seems like he has run decent at Brisotl once or twice.
Furnitrue Row
Kurt Busch used to be the man at Bristol... but I don't know what to think of him anymore either.
Ford Teams
Roush Fenway Racing
The biggest threat from this camp this week has to come from Carl Edwards. Carl won twice here in the night race ni '07-'08, and ran well here in the spring several times. Carl is coming off a win and a top 5 and coming to one of his best tracks. Hopefully, his bad luck from last year is all shaken off and he will get a good run at one of his favorite tracks.
Greg Biffle is usually a great pick for Bristol. It seems like he has fallen off his rocker since Daytoan ended though.
Ricky Stenhouse is still tryign to get his footing, me thinks...
Penske Racing
A popular threat this week has to be Brad Keselowski. Brad K was the man here until they ground that top groove. In August, it was like they had an inside groove car for an outside groove race. If they get that old feeling back, they will be someone to deal with this weekend. He has been a threat to win every race so far this year...
Joey Logano will probably just get one of his 15-20th place finishes.
Petty Motorsports
These guys don't haev the grip on teh car yet. With the new car, the big teams seem to be jumping out in front.
And big teams jumping out front brings us to...
Toyota Teams
Joe Gibbs Racing
These guys seem to be back as teh dominant force in the Toyota camp. Matt Kenseth got a win, Kyle Busch ran well again, Denny was mediocre after getting a fine from NASCAR... but both guys are good at Bristol, particularly Kyle Busch. Kyle still knows the feel he wants from a car when he goes to Bristol and had he not had bad luck at this place last year, he might have dominated both races again... he wants to prove he can still wrestle a car around this place better than Brad.
Micahel Waltrip Racing
Clint Bowyer has had good runs here.. remmeber, after Waltrip was in a crash here in '07, Bowyer now infamously called Michael Waltrip the "worst driver in NASCAR"... quite frankly, it was an audio clip on in car radio that ESPN had no business playing....
Martin Truex has nearly won this race a couple of times so watch out for Truex...
My Picks
I'm going to stick with the Bristol tried and true but may edit them pending qualifying and practice...
1) Brad Keselowski
2) Kasey Kahne
3) Kyle Busch
