My pick and preview for Bristol

The weather doesn't look too bad for this weekend's race in Bristol, TN. So we should have no issues there...thank goodness.

I'll be watching two drivers this weekend. Neither driver is one who I will pick to win the race though. They are Clint Bowyer and Tony Stewart. Bower's sitting second in the Sprint Cup point standings. In the four races thus far, he has posted three top ten's including two top fives.

Stewart is sixth in the point standings and has had three top tens, all of which are eighth-place finishes. Not too shabby for a new team. I hope his luck continues.

My pick, however, is going to be Happy Harvick for the win this weekend. He posted a second and a fourth-place finish here last year. I actually think that any RCR car is a pretty good pick for this weekend. Who do you think will take the checkers?

Here's the NASCAR Newscast: Food City 500 Preview:

Practice for the Sprint Cup drivers is at noon today and being aired on SPEED. Here's the rest of the broadcast schedule for the weekend.

Happy racing!

My first thought was Harvick also. I was waiting to see where he qualified. Not too good, but I'm picking him anyway.

Mark Martin should not have a blown engine this week.

And I sure hope we don't have to hear any more about Truex's kidney stone.Good grief.

Bristol is hosting a special race tomorrow night with celebrities and former BMS winning drivers. Supposed to be broadcast on ESPN2.

Stewart and Harvick had an epic duel last year for about 100 laps. It was awesome to watch live. I will pick Stewart as he will get his first win as an owner.

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.
