I can think of several tracks to drop and put Sebring in. For one, we could drop Kentucky, just too many 1.5 mile tracks on the schedule. Kentucky or Chicagoland. I think California or one of the Pocono races would be an excellent candidate, or one of the NEw Hampshire events.
Not many of the "ringerS" qualified up front... I'm a little surprise,d and am editing my picks likewise.
I do find the fact that Hendrick cars is sponsoring a Ford puzzling... I can't believe Chevrolet is letting them getaway with it, although Hendrick owns Honda, Ford, BMW, Mercedes, and everything else under the sun in various parts of North and South Carolina. I guess they're trying to show that they do more than Chevrolet. Boris Said, however, always seems to have mechanical issues in those second rate cars that keeps him from being competitive. He really runs well more times than not when he has good equipment, he knows how to hold his own against these NASCAR guys.

Great racing all weekend on road courses... Rolex Sports Cars at Road America at 12:00, then the Nationwide race at 3:00, NASCAR at Sonoma tomorrow at 3:00... going to be a good one!
I think we should petition NASCAR to run Sebring instead of Fontana.... I mean if these cars can run the track....

Why not NASCAR?
And for all you Jr fans... you know Jr tried to get some experience here running a sports car series (not sure which series) in a Corvette, had this crash, was burned in the fire for not wearing the appropriate fire suit, and has a scar on his neckto this day?
Junior thinks about this track every morning when he wakes up and looks in the mirror.
If Junior just runs 10th this week, it will be as good as a win to him. I don't even expect him to run top 15 really. He qualified decent, but I just don't see him staying there. If he does, a miracle happened.

Hey Brent, I think this should help with the "decision" we know that you have to make....
Dale Jr sucks on road courses and will not win tomorrow, yet he did in fact win the Bristol night race.... in 2004...
