I will add more to this in the monring, when all oy matchups will be posted, but I can tell you this......
DODGE will rule this race. The downforce advantage that the Dodges have on the other cars is too much. There are some guys in other manufacturer rides that get around this track very well, but I am not sure they can overcome the disadvantage.
Jamie McMurray, Rusty Wallace are two guys that get around this track well anyways. Jeremy Mayfield should be a factor. A couple of rookies Kasey Kahne and Scott Wimmer will have good rides. And Scott Wimmer is pretty good at this track anyways. Sterling Marlin has been good at this track before.....not sure if he has what it takes to win, but may show well. Ryan Newman has a rocketship. If he has matured to manage this racetrack he should win it. I am not sure he has the patience to tame this racetrack. You can have the fastest racecar and not even sniff a win here.
Bobby LaBonte and Tony Stewart are excellent at this racetrack. It will be interesting to see if they can get out front.
STAY AWAY from the Roush cars. Kenseth and Busch may show well.....in fact they probably will, but they have an engine problem. Martin, Biffle and Burton all had bad engines last week, and who knows if any of the 5 guys will get a bum engine. it is not a chance you want to take. When the engine blows.....your money is gone.
So there is a start....hopefully these lines will be up soon
