Been following practice sessions lap for lap, and have a buddy out there recording times and seeing who can pass the best out of the draft.....so I have a pretty good idea of who is doing what.
Not only has DEI been caught, they have been passed by multiple teams. Dony buy into the fact that they are sandbagging.....that is just people talking that cant believe that Junior isnt the best car there anymore.
LOTS of good teams this week, that makes a lot of long shots VERY possible.
Who do I think will win?
Jeff Gordon has the best car of them all. Hendrick is the team to beat out there and I just think that Gordon is the smartest of the bunch, and he will be there in the end.
I will probably take a shot on him to win.
Who are the long shots?
Jeff Burton is VERY good, and I will be surprised if he is not there all day. Not really a long shot, but Ryan Newman is very good and has consistantly been able to pass with ease out of the draft.
Who are the darkhorses?
Scott Wimmer drives the same car that Ward Burton won with here a few years back and also finished 3rd here last year. Well, they are good again, and dont be surprised to see this guy battling someone at the end.
Scott Riggs has been fas ALL WEEK, and if he can drive smart definatly has the car to Top 5.
Jason Leffler is the 3rd Gibbs car and if he can hang with Tony, can be there at the end also.
Who stinks?
Kasey Kahne. This guy has never been a good restrictor plate racer, and now that other teams have caught DEI, Evernham has been left in the dust.....Kahne wont be able to keep the draft, and this guy stinks today.
Dale Jarrett. He is so bad in the draft that he wants to hang out in the back and wait for a wreck, so he can gain spots that way. His car is GREAT out in open air, but his car drafts like crap. That is why he won the qualifying pole.....no one out on the track with him.
My bets are as follows:
Jeff Gordon to win: 1 unit to win 6
Jeff Burton to Top 5: 1 unit to win 5.15
Scott Wimmer to Top 5: 1 Unit to win 15
Scott Riggs to Top 5: 1 Unit to win 20
Gordon over Junior +110
Stewart over Jarrett (-3.5 positions) -110
Harvick over Kahne -140
Good luck!!!
