Michigan Race Discussion

Lines not out yet, definately looking at a Ford this weekend, most likely a Rousch, and without a doubt, Carl Edwards..... Carl has been running awesome lately, he is more than due for a win, and when you consistantly run up front, good things will happen.....

Shockingly enough, Dale Jr. has the 2nd best avg. finish over the last 5 years with an 8.2 avg. finish.....worst finish of 23rd in 9 races....We may get a super nice number on him this week to open. i would expect it to be at least 30-1...

Gordon last 3 races here has gone 2nd, 2nd and 4th...

Montoya on the other hand has a best finish of 6th and only 2 top 18 finishes out of 7 races.

Trucks are at Darlington this weekend.... Saturday night race...

PSM.... I think the 48 has lost a little mojo. For years everything has gone his way with hardly any bad luck....I see that finally starting to turn just a little as he has had a few things go wrong in recent weeks. I think he may be human afterall. Lol....

Nevertheless I still won't be on him at + 400
