Talladega preview and pick

With the exception of a few clouds this evening in Talladega, the weather appears to be all sunshine for the weekend. Perfect.

Qualifying is scheduled for tomorrow at 11 am on SPEED. I'll have my fingers crossed that Scott Speed can qualify in for the race.

NASCAR Newscast: Aaron's 499 Preview:

My pick to win this weekend is Tony Stewart. It's his weekend to visit victory lane. Period.

Here are a few things I'll be watching for:

-- Mistakes in the pits, and likely there will be some.

-- The "big one."

-- If rookie Scott Speed makes it in the race, I'll be watching what position he is in on the track in relation the other rookie, Joey Logano.

-- Naturally, because it's a superspeedway, I'll be watching Dale Earnhardt Jr. and who he will be working with in the draft.

-- And because Clint Bowyer is my fave, I'll be keeping an eye on him.

What will you be keeping your eye on and who do you think will win?

I know Racefan picked Tony as well, but he will be hard to bet against this week. I have to pick him too. I'm picturing a tire rubbing, door slamming, fender banging duel with Waltrip as Tony takes the checkers by the closest margin in Nascar history.

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.
