It's road course racing time here at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California. The weather is beautiful and it's time for the first road course of the season. Yesterday's practice seemed pretty tame. The only big issue was David Gilliland rear ending John Andretti on pit road. David looked down to check some gauges and just plowed into Andretti who was waiting to enter the track. Wow, maybe these guys are mere mortals. Oh, and from the land down under, Marcos Ambrose blew an engine and had to go to a back up. Marcos will still do well today, I predict.
Last year, Kyle Busch won this race and looks strong for this one, too. Brian Vickers won the pole and feels like he can do well today. One who usually stinks in this race is Jimmie Johnson. I think he'll stink again today. Juan Pablo Montoya won the race two years ago and should do well again today. The road course ringers, ie Ron Fellows, Boris Said, PJ Jones always make a nice showing, but never seem to be able to make that big of a difference and get into Victory Lane. Jeff Gordon is the road course king. Tony Stewart is also a master at turning left and right. Who do you think will end up in Victory Lane today? Do you like road course races? Do you think a road course race should be included in the Chase?
Well, here's my take...I do like road course races. It takes a much better driver to master all kinds of tracks. I think it would be great to have one road course in the Chase and here's my picks for today:
3). Tony Stewart
2). Jeff Gordon
1). Kyle Busch
Happy Race Day and Happy Father's Day!!!
