Chicagoland pick

I don't think I have ever thrown my pick to win the race out there after qualifying and I was looking forward to doing it this week. But as luck would have it, qualifying got rained out and the field will be set by point standings. Oh, well.

I am 0-for-18 this year in trying to pick the winner of a race. I'm not going to give up trying though.

My pick this week to win at Chicagoland will be Matt Kenseth. In two of the past three races here he has led most laps. He has also finished second twice in the same span of three years.

Here's the NASCAR Newscast: Chicagoland Preview

Here's the broadcast schedule for the weekend.

Who do you think will be the victor?

I am going with Smoke. Edwards and JR. will race for the finish with him.

I'll try again. I am still having problems with the website and Bump Draft, posting. Hope no one else is. SMOKE will win. My guy, Edwards, will give him a run for his money.

I also pick Tony. I have been reading through predictions from sportscasters and they all either picked Smoke or Rowdy with an occasional Harvick and Kahne thrown in. One said baring an intervention by the mob, Kyle will be the winner in Chicago and will probably win 6-10 more races this year. Wow!

I wonder what disaster will strike Biffle this week. He was fastest in practice.

Are you guys delirious?
Kyle Busch won!
The guy is talented, aggresive, funny and ON FIRE!
Kyle is determined to win it all!
Jr needs to sit back and be skooled!

The M & M Kid outsmarted the Champ. That was great. Way to go, Rowdy!

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.
