my picks......
Denny Hamlin: Firmly in the Chase, it's race-for-wins time for Hamlin. That and the fact that Hamlin is always good at Pocono is a dangerous combination for the competition. Expect the 11 team to go for broke, a strategy they might not even need to deploy if their guy is already at the front.
Jimmie Johnson: Denny Hamlin is the easy pick. Jimmie Johnson is the safe one. I'm going safe. Johnson is gearing up for a historic run at a sixth trophy, and he's taking the old Tiger Woods approach of terrifying the opposition before the battle even begins.
Kyle Busch: What happens to the Chase storylines if the wild-card race goes from being wide open to fairly certain in the matter of a few weeks? That's what'll happen Sunday when Busch goes to victory lane, putting he and Kasey Kahne firmly – for the time being, anyway – in the wild-card spots with five races to go before the Chase. Busch was strong at Pocono in June until he blew an engine. This time, his equipment holds up.

Crazy hilarious just happened on RaceDay. They were showing close-ups of drivers as they walked through a pit area loaded with fans as they walked to the garage area. In the close-up of BradK he was signing a fans helmet as he walked briskly. In Newmans close-up he was signing some fans hat and handed it back. Then they switched to Peblo and he was walking and looking straight ahead while "flipping-off" (giving the middle finger to) someone behind him! Shown on live tv! What a jackass!

Good catch there, Brent. It only reinforces further what we already know to be true about Montoya!!
Looking forward to the race.... I might nap though... went out on a friends boat, six pack of Coors Light, up all night, caught a Gar (they did, my job was to sit on the boat and drink, I don't fish), but we'll see how it all works out
Here is the weather report for today...
There is a positive... I haev a nice picture I've been saving for a rain delay to show all of you.
And Brent... I went against better judgment. Go check my picks now!

With rain in the area, NASCAR moved the green flat time to 1:12... from like 1:19. So in ten minutes, the window closes.... we got a few of you just barelly getting it in there!
