It is a very pretty morning here in Phoenix...there were some incredible cloud formations this morning as the wind is really picking up. This type of cloud formation is known as a mammatus cloud. The name "mammatus" is derived from the Latin mamma (breast), due to the resemblance between the shape of these clouds and human female breasts...sorry, the blog just went PG.
On the racing front, no one is hotter than Cousin Carl...he's won the last 3 races he's driven in, last night's Nationwide race and the Cup races in Atlanta and Texas. He is primed to win again today and is the only realistic threat to Jimmie Johnson's trek to a 3rd straight Sprint Cup title.
Jimmie fought back by winning the pole position, but Carl was faster than Jimmie in the last two practice sessions, so it could be very exciting. One big X-factor in Phoenix is the sun. Coming out of turn four and down the front stretch, the drivers are looking directing into the setting sun. You know how annoying it is to drive straight into the sun...well, imagine it without a sun visor, oh, and at 180 miles per hour with 42 other guys right next to you. Geeezzz...I couldn't do it.
By the way...If I was a gamblin' man, I would've cleaned up with last week's picks!!!
Here are my predictions...
3). Kevin Harvick
2). Jimmie Johnson
1). Carl Edwards
Have a great raceday!
