Aaaahhhh.... to be picking my picks for the race again. I feel so rusty. So rusty in fact, that I forgot all about picking them last week. I've got to get in a groove here and figure out all the stuff I used to look at in determining my picks last year. Actually, now that I think of it, it didn't really help me last year because I'm pretty sure I never picked a winner. Oh well.
My pick this week at Fontana: Kurt Busch. He's has had three poles here and one win. I think he had a slight sniff of victory when he followed his teammate Ryan Newman to the checkered flag at the Daytona 500 last week. I think it made his mouth water in anticipation like mine does from the smell of the kitchen when I'm cooking brownies.
I think historically this track has been good to Hendrick drivers. So another driver that I will be keeping any eye on, as with most of the world, is Dale Earnhardt Jr. Last year he finished 40th -- two guesses why -- yup, you got it, ENGINE. I bet he'll have a solid finish this weekend under the Hendrick umbrella. Here are the race results from last year.
Who do you think will be the victor this weekend?
And because I'm feeling a bit on the crazy side today, I'll leave you with this:

About this blog:
I am hopeful that this will be a place where people can air their two cents' worth about a race, catch up on the gossip and share their opinions on the rules and regulations of NASCAR. I have always felt that there has been a need for such a place in Maine and that this blog helps to fill the void.
