Gutsy move DP, Kyle has only won one chase race in all of the years he has been in the chase. I will chime in later with my picks.

I need the points and I'm counting on a miracle on his behalf and by the way he has never won a Chase race as a participant of the Chase. In fact, he is the only driver as a participant of the Chase with 40 or more starts that hasn't won a Chase race. Man, that should have been a trivia question. ;)

Not really a bad call, surprisingly Kyle has a better average finish at Charlotte than JJ and JG.

Driver Avg Fin Races Wins Top 10 Rating Laps Led

Matt Kenseth 8.40 5 0 4 105.7 9.19%
Kyle Busch 10.20 5 0 4 116.3 28.34%
Jeff Gordon 13.40 5 0 2 92.1 5.48%

Jimmie Johnson 16.40 5 1 2 106.0 8.78%
Denny Hamlin 17.00 5 0 2 100.0 4.83%

Kind of a Surprising chart isn't it?

KingGlamis..... Tough day all around for you. :owquitit:
 
I sucked this week too, picking JJ as best and Newman as worst... :mad:
 
Thanks. Since 2008, JJ is gold or trash at Charolette, so it seemed to be 50/50 with him.

I really thought Kez would compete for the win. They were fast off the truck in first practice, and then it seemed like a different car.

Word is that Penske detuned it's engines because they where concerned about reliability issue's.....Hopefully they'll put the Old Killer Tune back in them!

That's what Kurt made it sound like. Thing is, they haven't had a single engine failure all year.

Maybe they need a new engine tuner who can adjust for the cooler weather a little better.
