Pocono pick

If you read yesterday's entry, you know that I'm not fond of Pocono racing. So I found something to do while the race was going ... a lobster bake.

Isn't it a requirement that if you live in Maine, you have to have at least one day during the summer where you pig out on lobster, steamers and bacon-wrapped scollops? I think so. It's a distraction that I am looking forward to. I will still peak in on the race every now and then...

My pick to win is Denny Hamlin. He's raced here five times. All of those five races have resulted in top-10 finishes, including two wins. Obviously, this is his type of racetrack. Let's hope Denny can snap my 0-for-20 streak so far this season.

Here's the broadcast schedule for the weekend.

Here are the top-15 in point standings going into the race:

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.
