I'm uncertain of my picks, but I gotta make some. I like Teacher Todd's picks (Duane's picks suck!) But I'l try to be a little original. I won't leave Jimmie out tho. It was no accident that Lowe's sponsored this track for so many years - they were aiming the track that would see the Lowe's car in Victory lane the most (6 wins - Jimmie`s best).

See how strong all the Ford's were in qualifying? Not counting the pluggy Front Row Motorsports, all other Fords qualified in the top 12 - 7 of 'em to be exact - Roush, RPM and Woods). Only 1 Toyota cracked the top 12, but as Duane pointed out, this is probably Kahne's best track. I still don't expect him to finish. Ragan finished 2nd in the Spring race (he should have won) and I'm thinking we could see AJ break through here tonight. I'll even put a little stake in that...

1. Jimmie Johnson
2. AJ Allmendinger
3. Greg Bifle

There's more then a few drivers trying to redeem the CocaCola600 which fell apart for a lot of people at the end.

 

My wife, who does not count, has not noticed (or doesn't care) how good the Ford's look. She wouldn't listen to anything I said anyways.

She pick's:
1. Jimmie
2. Jr.
3. Jeff (Gordon of course)

All Hendricks. Not a bad call IMO, but I'm trying not to hex Junior. I think the Hendricks car's have looked great on these 1.5 mile tracks all year long. She might be onto something here...

 

NASCAR at 7:45 tonight, and Tigers @ Texas tonight at 8:00. MIGHT have to flip over to watch the race for a few between innings.
GO TIGERS!

 

Order of picks will determine a winner between Space and RocknSS.

And Brent, not too long ago you said that Earnhardt Jr. shoudl have won that spring race.... who is it buddy??????

My car that isn't going to finish was fastest in final practice.... and I picked him before that. Besides, got to make a long shot and differentiate myself somehow. I'm still trying ot figure out how I want to pick Talladega... another video with drivers from a hat?

 

holy ****, that race is tonight........

1. Jimmie Johnson
2. Kyle Busch
3. Kevin Harvick

Thanks RocknSS04 for the heads up......

 

You just barelly got it in there, brother. Nothing ot take you out of the championship battle like a missed race.....


Window is now closed. It's race time!

 

I never said I thought Jr should have won. I said Harvick should not have won. Jr didn't make it to the line, and there is no sort of trickery in that. I may have said something to the effect that he won the "600" technically since he had the lead at the 600 mile mark, but I never meant to imply that he was the rightful winner. David Ragan should have won his first race that night.

Did anyone make mention (on the board) about how they stopped Dillon from pushing Harvick under yellow last week?

 

wow, I just got back from getting some tacos and a case of Budweiser, that would have been huge if I didn't get in........

 

Yeah tell me about it.

 

I think your disqualified anyways. The rule is 1 hour before the race. Sorry. Maybe if you were less competative then we could let you in, but we don't want to take the chance this week. Your out
