Questions to consider:
Will Sorenson be able to translate his good practice times into a strong run?
Will Kyle Busch be able to carry the momentum from his win in Nationwide into a win today?
Will Denny Hamlin and the rest of the #11 Fed Ex team keep heading in the right direction as far as strong finishes go?
Will Dale Jr finally start clicking on the track with his new Crew Chief?
Catch you all later today.

Busy busy week,
Sorry to fearless leader and everyone that I haven’t been around much.
Here’s to a good race. Those have been far and few between.

Just like a Saturday night!

Naturally...
How many times have we lost races like this in comparison to how many we’ve won..

Gosh...
Joey looks like such a nerd.
I don’t mind winning on fuel milage gambles to the finish.
But I hate seeing guys win due to rain..

I agree Matt
but Jeff seemed pleased. At least somebody who won’t be in the chase didn’t get the bonus points. Hopefully this bodes well for Jeff when the return in September

I too, considered that.
I keep remembering what Jimmie did in the Chase last year.
Entered the Chase in fifth with only a few wins and tore up the final ten.
So maybe this means we’ll be strong at both Dega and Loudon so far. I like it.
Nothing against Dorky McBucktooth. Kudos to him.

What are the chances of Kasey actually making the chase with his fluke win at Infineon two weeks ago? It would be good for RPM
