Ok... I gotta make some picks. I'm anxious. Nervous and restless!

Probably gonna be another Ford day. Ford don't sponsor this race for no reason. I think Jimmie will be the Chev to raise to the top - that guy is just so cool. How many races have we seen Jimmie cut a tire or something, go down 2 laps and still end up with a top 10? I expect nothing out of pole sitter Kahne, except maybe for him to fail post race inspection. Edwards was fast and he's on right now and Bifle has won this race multiple times. Martin still wants/needs/deserves a win this year, but I don't think it'll happen. Junior hasn't turned a fast lap here yet - slow in every practice. And I keep overlooking Logano - sure would be neat for him to finish second. I have never seen this kind of streak before.

Okay - this isn't rocket science. Here's my payload:

1. Carl Edwards
2. Greg Bifle
3. Jimmie Johnson

last: Mike Bliss
1st caution: Kevin Conway
# of cautions: 8

8 cautions seems high (like me!), but did you see the Nationwide race yesterday? Speaking of, did you see that Trevor Bayne?!? I really think he is the next big thing! He's still younger then Logano (and probably always will be). He slapped the wall pretty hard in the last quarter of the race and still made it back to third. If I were Roush and I could find a way around the contracts, I would replace David Regan with Trevor Bayne today

We used to go to Bristol and say that if you ahd a wild, many cautioned Busch/Nationwide race, it would be a relatively calm Cup race because everyone had watched that race and said "we need to be calm out there or we are goign to just take out all of hte good cars." Of course, if you had a relatively calm Nationwide/Busch race, get ready for a wild cup race. It might be a long green flag day today.

 

Hi `Duane,
I hope that you will be able to watch the race 2day...What is your estimate for the longest green run ?

I think there will be a lot of cautions because everyone will be trying for a good finish in their last race of the year...
I will listen to the first part of the race, then rest and get `up & hope that my favorites are in the lead & not wrecked...

I will look forward to see how everyone's picks were ? ? ? ?
p.s. I hope that you are home for the holidays this year and
can enjoy your Cars, and be able to spend time with family/friends...
EnJoy the Race.....Countdown 10-9-8 ~> Gentleman, start your Engines

Hope the weather is good in Homestead...It's cloudy & cool on the spacecoast with a few showers coming off the ocean...
Hope there's no rain cautions 4-Sure ....Peace/Happy/Out
