I will like it as long as there is no 2 car tandem junk or big crashes taking out a bunch of good cars.

I'm not a fan of the crashes either but the 2 car thing didn't bother me all that much. It produced some good finishes. Heck, in the Cup race last spring my driver pushed Jimmie Johnson across the line for a Johnson victory and my driver finished 4th.

Only bad luck Jr could push a guy to a win and finish 4th himself. He's running great this year, and he has the fire. It's great to see.

I don't want to hijack a Nationwide thread with Jr. talk, even though he is running the Nationwide race, but I think I'd rather see another second place finish for him this weekend more than the win. Then I would have to weed through all of the mindless posts about how he can only win on a restrictor plate track.

No worries, those would be washed away by the flood of tears. 9 months later, we would see a huge spike in the birth rate of boys named Dale. Clearly an after affect of all them Jr fans with raging hard-ons.
 
Back to the reason for this thread.....

I pick Kurt to make it two in a row. Danica grabs a top ten this week.

Who does everyone else pick?
 
Two Earnhardt's on the same track once again. Jeffrey and Jr. I like Kurt Busch and Austin Dillon as my longshot.

I know that anyone can win at Dega , but there is still at least at 75 % chance that the winner will come from the top five in points ,right ?

Josh was in Richmond last weekend instead of running the Outlaws race. Guess he was networking himself into a ride
 
It's raining at Talladega now. Mid 70's. Im hoping it stops so they can get their practice in this afternoon.
