Have a safe trip.
 
At times like this, I'm glad I moved out of Concord, NC. Gods the traffic during race week(s) is just horrible.

Joey's in the 22 this weekend for the Nationwide race. I wonder if Penske will field another car for Keselowski?
 
I am soo excited.

Also jealous of all the teams that got to test for Martinsville today and tomorrow.

Thank's, the only downside is that when I'm gone I miss out on all of the Nascar action. The drag racing season is almost over, I only have 2 national events, 1 Nostalgia event, and a meet and greet at the Lucas Oil Drag Boat races in Lake Havasu Az this weekend. But, by the time my season is over there is only one Nascar race left. If only Nascar could race all winter long. Well, at least there is football.:D

My prediction for the week is that Jeff Gordon finds his way to victory lane.
 
#48 hasn't won a points race at Charlotte since 2009. Watch out for the #29 again this weekend.
 
Harv was very fast last time here. Having speed the previous trip and coming off of a win last week could be a double threat. Kasey Khane loves this place and KyBu always seems to be fast here. Jimmie is the man here and you cannot count Matt out the way he was performed this year. Gordon had a crappy run here in the fall and got caught up in Aric Almorola's dumb 3-wide crash attempt in the dog leg. Hopefully he only had a bad run because his team hadnt figured out how to get the speed outta the Gen 6 car yet, seems like they have found the switch these last few weeks. Just gotta get a little more luck and he'll get a 2013 win. Although this track hasnt been kind to him since 2007. That race was DESTINED to be his win. Still couldnt restart then either...

Safe travels Dude.
 
This just in: NASCAR still feels bad for Gordon and will double his point earnings in Charlotte. Giving 100% in making it fair

They had plenty of speed back in the 600. They were Top 5 before that caution caught them on pit road and put them in the back of the pack with the riffraff.
