I was looking for some opinions on who is favored and why.
 
Jeff Burton tends to run good at Vegas and is usually a guy to watch there.
 
Sterling marlin, jeff gordon, and mark martin have a win there aswell don't they.
 
Kurt Busch - Home town and he is on a roll.
Dale Jarrett - The big MO.
Sterling Marlin- Defending Champ
Any other Roush car - Just because they do so well here
Jeff Gordon- He has also won here before.


It will be interesting to see if the Chevy teams have a good grasp on the balance of their cars. If so they could compete for the win.
 
If past performance is indicative, this is the average finish chart for Vegas.

Elliott Sadler will be one to watch, just got that feeling...
 
The Roush cars are good at Vegas.Any of their drivers,including Biffle,could run strong here.

If I were a betting man I would put money on Busch winning this weekend,even in a hard to predict sport like stock car racing.
