This week I am going with Denny Hamlin. Watch out for Tony, Kevin and Kyle. JR alos has a good chance.
Well GL you did a lot better then I did. You man at least lead most of the race. Could believe the end. It be a wonder that Kyle Busch gets out of Richmond alive.
What a race. Denny was walking away with it until his tire went down. The race was really behind him. The restarts were unreal. No one could hang with the man.
JR and Kyle what a mess. They were racing to win and did not give each other enough room. Just a racing thing. Bet Kyle had to sneak out of there. Liked the interviews after. They both had good ones.
I understand what your saying GL but if you can't make a clean pass then you you can't make the pass. Kyle is just like Jimmy Spencer the original mister excitement if Jimmy couldn't win he would take you down with him. I don't know if you remember but Jimmy Spencer and Kyle's brother Kurt use to really get into it. In saying that I don't think this thing with Dale and Kyle is over by any means. And another thing don't you like the sounds of Dale vs Kyle and with that Toyota vs Chevy.
Didn't have time to think about a pick this week with the last child graduating from Michigan State(Go Green!),but WOW, what a finish and Clint Boyer hung in and came away with the prize! Watching Dale run the highline and makin' it work, then come down and get tangled with Kyle;the house filled with a resounding...OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Had Hamlin pitted like he shoulda'............
Oh yes! I remember the Jimmy and Kurt deal. Kinda thought this would happen with Steve Wallace and Kyle in the Nation Wide. lol
Jr will get him. It may take a few races but it will be coming.
There is always somthing to keep the excitment up. Driver/Driver or car/car. Don't ya love it.
One of the most anticipated races of season is this weeks race at Darlington. Why you may ask? It's simple because one the toughest race track in NASCAR just got tougher. It all about new asphalt. The track with the nickname The Track to Tough to Tame has been repaved and the track that has been around since 1949 is faster then ever. The new pavement has given Darlington a ton of grip and grip means speed. How much speed? The old track record was set in qualifying in 1996 by Ward Burton at 173.797 Greg Biffle the man on the pole for Saturday nights Cup race at Darlington set a new record at 179.442. Last year Clint Bowyer sat on the pole at a speed of 164.987. That means that this years pole setter is almost a whopping 15 mph faster. Buckle up for this egg shaped track is going to put on a race that could be one the most exciting races in years.
Darlington has changed and so has Sprint Cup racing in the COT. You can see it happening every week as the Cup drivers are getting more and more comfortable with the new car. As the comfort zone gets better so does the racing. Look at Richmond last week drivers were push there cars wish put cars fender to fender with no-fear. It is only going to get better as the comfort zone grows. NASCAR fan you may see some of the best racing in NASCAR history coming as drivers and teams get the COT figured out. With teams and drivers getting comfortable and Darlington being new and improved the most anticipated race of the season could live up to its billing.
My Pick of the Week. After last weeks race with Kyle Busch running Dale Earnhardt Jr into the wall I do have some thoughts on how Saturday nights race should end. I'm hoping the Earnhardt will come out of Dale Jr. Do you think for one second Dale Sr. would that move of Kyle Busch's go untouched? Yeah Right not a chance. Wouldn't it be great to see Dale and Kyle one and two at the end with Dale taking out Kyle on the last lap to win. Do you think NASCAR would do anything to the prince of NASCAR no matter how he took out Rowdy Busch. I don't think so. Regardless if Dale takes out Busch on the last lap or not Dale Earnhardt Jr. is my pick of the week. Dale is in the second spot at the start next to pole setter Greg Biffle and with a great starting spot and fever to win Earnhardt will own Saturday night at Darlington. Dale Jr. become an Earnhardt on Saturday night with his first win with Hendrick. 
Mike, I am with you on this one. Tony will be a factor but I think JR can get it done.
