Lowe's pick

Wow. I had fully planned on updating and entry yesterday with my picks for the race but time just escaped me at work. Sorry. Here it is, what you've been waiting for... my pick for the race this week at Lowe's Motor Speedway. A guide for you to use in determining who not to pick. (I am afterall, 0-for-12 in my picks this year.)

I know, I know...the logical pick would be Kyle Busch, afterall he does have the pole, has been on fire and will take out the field to cross the finish line first but I am going with Jeff Gordon.

He won the fall race here last year and you know as well as I do, he will win a race this year. I just think it will be this one that kick starts his victories. He will be the man to beat. He has five wins here and luck is going to be on his side. Period. This victory here will be his 15th consecutive series with a win, I feel it in my bones.

Others I will be watching:

-- Ken Schrader in that fourth RCR car.

-- Clint Bowyer, of course. He's starting 39th so I will watch him hopefully move up through the field.

-- A.J. Allmendinger, I just want to see if he chest bumps his teammates prior to the start of the 600. It truly was entertaining to watch him do it the first time at the All-Star event and I think I have a desire to see that again.

-- Sam Hornish Jr., I think he did pretty well in the All-Star event so I will be watching where he is in the field I am sure.

Here's the lineup.

Who are you picking for the race winner?

My obvious pick would be Kyle. I will make a second pick just because picking Kyle every week is almost no fun. I think Jeff Burton will win. RCR cars have great longevity and patience is what Burton does best, two great things to have on your side at the 600. I have a feeling that some strange circumstances at the end will produce a dark horse though. Just a strange feeling.

I am going to go with my favorite, Carl Edwards. I sincerely hope JR proves me wrong.

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.
