What a beautiful weekend here in Phoenix! Sorry to those of you still in winter.
Well, it's raceday...and it's gonna be a hot one. This race starts in daylight and goes into night,
so it is an interesting mix for the crews and drivers. At one point during the race, the drivers head
right into the sun...you know how annoying it is when you have your visor down and the sun still
hits you in the eyes...try it at 190mph! I am amazed weekly at the skill and knowledge these drivers
and crews have. We do one show called "NASCAR Performance". It is a real gear-head show hosted by
Larry McReynolds (former crew chief extraordinaire), Chad Knaus ( crew chief for Jimmie Johnson) and
"Bootie" Barker (crew chief for Scott Riggs). They amaze me with the depth and breadth of knowledge these
guys have. They have to know physics, geometry, and lots of other subjects I either flunked or didn't attempt.
When you think these guys are back woods hicks, this show will change your mind. It is really over my head...
you would probably hear my clicker turning to "Friends".
Today's predictions...Hard to pick against Kyle Busch again...he won last night...and a close 2nd was last week's
Cup winner Carl Edwards. Elliot Sadler starts in the front row, so he may be a factor...for 3 laps or so.
Here you go:
3). Denny Hamlin
2). Carl Edwards
1). Kyle Busch with the Phoenix weekend sweep.
