I waited until qualifying was over because you guessed it, track position will be huge.
A list ranks- 14, 99, 11, 16, 42, 18, 2, 48, 24, 5.
I can’t pick against Smoke here, sorry. Plus he was happy with his car after Happy Hour.
The next 4 are really close but i don’t trust Montoya. He’ll either win or finish 35th. Roush looks really strong and wouldn’t suprise me to see Biffle or Car in victory lane.
I’m sure Jimmie and Jeff would laugh at this ranking and use it as motivation but they just haven’t looked as good as i though they would. You could probably rank them ahead of the Busch brothers. I really think the first 5 are the way to go though.
B list ranks- 47, 29, 1, 31, 33, 39,56, 20,17, 9, 6, 19, 12, 00
I’m going with Ambrose who doesn’t look as good as he usually does but good enough for me. My other starter will be Harvick or JMac. I really like Harvick and am leaning his way as he says he messed up his lap and the car is really good.
Jamie McMurray has impressed the hell out of me this weekend though and will get a long look as i would love to get a top 10 out of him. I really don’t suggest anybody else this week. Others don’t have track position and i wouldn’t burn a Bowyer or Burton start here.
Logano is my sleeper, along with Truex jr.
Sorry Matt Kenseth fans. You have a way of getting good finishes but no way i would burn a start on Matt here. Even with Ford’s looking good. I’ll be loading up on Ford’s next week though.
C list ranks- 43, 83, 7, 82, 77, 26, 36, 98, 13.
AJ looks awesome if you have more than 2 starts left, i’d run him. Red Bull cars look really good and i will be starting Boris i believe.
I have been cautiously impressed with Sam Hornish this week, he’s my sleeper.
Robby looks average but i’m expecting a top 15 atleast. Don’t like the equipment that Ron Fellows is in or he would be higher.
No i would not waste a start with Menard here.
Pick to win is Tony Stewart…but watch those Ford’s
Sleeper picks are 56 and 20
Yahoo team will be 14, 47, 29 or 1, and 83
Paythefan is looking like 42, Vickers, 43, 47, 83, 7. Have to get rid of Vickers somewhere. Might as well do it here. Also like Biffle and Carl in A. Harvick in B. Speed in C might also work out. Carpentier not a bad pick either.
Good Luck FNPers!!!
