We're back in Fontana, also affectionately known as Fontucky, for today's Cup race. Yesterday's Nationwide race was pretty boring all day, except for Danica speeding twice in pit road and the green/white/checkers finish. Joey Logano led about 140 of the 150 laps, but got buffaloed out of the way on the final restart by Greg Biffle and eventually spun out by Brad Keslowski to finish 11th.
Kyle Busch edged Biffle at the line to win the race and did his customary bow while standing on his car.
Today's race probably won't be much different. This track gets the drivers spread out and is pretty wide so there won't be a whole lot of side by side racing until the end which, I predict, will be yet another green/white/checkers. Biffle is always strong here, so I predict he'll be in the top five. All Roush cars tend to do well at the Auto Club Speedway. Jamie McMurray followed up last week's Daytona 500 win by winning the pole at ASC. That is the first time a driver has ever won the 500 then took the pole the next week. His Earnhardt/Gannassi teammate, Juan Pablo Montoya, is next to him in the front row. I'd like to see either one of these guys take the checkers. Happy Raceday, everyone.
PS. My son, Zach, a junior at Franklin High School in Franklin, TN, took home 5th place in the Tennessee State Wrestling Championships yesterday...I am a proud papa!
