Not a bad play for the odds.
Last year Kurt won the pole for both races finished 16 and 27 in them.
In 2005 he started 20th and finished 3rd.
Good Luck.
I got 2 long ones for ya.
Clint Bowyer(20-1)-Strong in practice and had a 3rd here last year.
JP Montoya(55-1)-- Starts 9th and the #42 Texaco/Dodge has run strong here in past years between Mears(7th & 14th last year) and in '05 Mcmurray(4th & 8th).
