After last weeks fiasco in Indianapolis and the Nationwide race in the rain in Montreal it is going to be nice to finally watch some real Nascar racing. The weather looks great for today’s race and with the large backstretch I am sure we will see some real speeds for a change.
There will be no competition yellow flags every 8 laps and no 40 mph driving in the rain. It is Nascar racing the way I think it should be. I am expecting a lightning fast track under sunny skies that will play in the drivers quest for speed. As for the race I have the feeling this will be a good week for Dale Jr and Carl Edwards.
Hendrick Motorsports cars always seem to be good on this track also. You can never count Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson. I am hoping for some exciting racing, I expect Kyle Busch to lead most of the race until he blows a motor as his driving style is too rough for the track. We will just have to wait and see.
