Charlotte Motor Speedway

Charlotte Motor Speedway

With the longest race of the season and the top race of the weekend (my shot at the Indy 500), look for some exciting things to happen with the tires that Goodyear has brought to the track.

Top 10 Drivers-Carl Edwards

Edwards is coming off of his best race of the season, a 5th place finish. Look for the flip at the end of the 600 laps.

11th -20th Place-Ryan Newam
The rocket has really turned things around and him and his new crew chief are finally seeing eye to eye. With finishes of 4, 6, and 9 over the last 3 races and the pole position for this race-the rocket can't be caught.

21st-30th-Kasey Kahne

Kahne won both races at this track in 2006 and won the Busch race Saturday night. Kahne is good at this track and is finally in the top 30, so he gets picked here. Also, team Everham has great cars here.

31st-99th -Scott Riggs

Riggs hasn't qualified for all of the races this year, but the Everham teams look to be strong at Charlotte. With Riggs starting 15th, you can't go wrong with him this week.

Darlington Fantasy Preview

This week the COT cars head to the Lady in Black-Too Touch To Tame. Will Hendrick continue their dominance of the COT or will someone else break in?

Top 10 Drivers-Tony Stewart

Hendrick has dominated the COT cars, but Gibbs is right behind them. Hamlin has been the one to beat, but look for Stewart to take the win this week. This is a racers track and suits Stewarts style perfectly.

11th-20th Place-Greg Biffle

Why the deer in the head light look Greg? He has won 2 of the last 3 races at Darlington and starts on the front row. Maybe the look is because everyone will be chasing him Saturday night. Take him and you will have a chance at having the winning car in your lineup.

I knew you wouldn't get it, it is Tony Raines. He his having a decent year, and has had 3 top 20 finishes in the last 5 races and has had some better than average finishes in the COT car.

Don't expect a win, but a top 20 finish is not out of the question.

31st-99th place-Kasey Kahne

Once again we are going with Kahne here. You just have to and he has a top 5 starting position. This could be Kahne's best chance at a win this year. Can you say hello to Johnny Sauter next week?

This week, yet another COT race. No one has yet submitted a lineup that can beat mine. Will you be the first?

Richmond International Speedway

Top 10 in points
Matt Kenseth

Hamlin is the hometown favorite and the COT ace so far. Gordon is on fire with one of the best starts in NASCAR. But I am going with Matt Kenseth. Besides Gordon, Kenseth has the best average finish over the last 4 races. Look for him to take home the win here.




11th through 20th place in points
Mark Martin
I avoided picking Martin at Phoneix because it was his first COT race, but he ran well and came home in 12th place. Take a top 10 driver here since he keeps resting those old bones.

Bring back the Viagra car!






21st through 30th in points
Jeff Green
Why the surprised look Jeff? Most people don't pay close attention to him, but he has averaged a 17th place finish over the last 5 races with two 6th place finishes.

And then the way he pulled his "trick" on his qualifying run, you have to take him here.





















31st in points 99th in points
Kasey Kahne

I feel like a broken record here. He has now moved up to 32nd in points and this could be the last week before he moves out of this range.
With a 12th place finish at Talladega and a decent starting spot, he will try and stop playing 3rd fiddle to Sadler and Riggs.
