Ight I'm sorry but I had "Wizard of Oz" this thing cause we in Kansas for the weekend and there are ALOT of guys who hope they can turn things around before they fall out of contention including Jeff Gordon and Kyle Busch

PREDICTIONS

SMART MONEY - Jeff Gordon
WHY - 2 wins here hes top of the class at this joint
MILD DAWG - Kyle Busch (shoot me now I called Kyle Busch a mild dawg) WHY - Won on all types of tracks so dont rule him out
UPSET - Juan Pablo Montoya (Shoot me now for that too)
WHY - ran well here in his first race here last year and well he needs to break out of his slump on ovals

ESPN with coverage get the pizza I got the pepsi

Ight we're 2 races and this is what I've seen

- Greg Biffle is ON his game - 2 for 2 in Chase races and hes just gettin warmed up..this dark horse might become a fave come homestead

- Jimmie Johnson is still consistant on the top of the line up and rundown after the race...hes still got a good shot to go 3 in a row

- Jeff Gordon had his bad race at NH and stepped it up in dover proving he might not have won but staying consistant means the world in the chase

- Dale Jr had his bad race and fell to 8th in points but his tracks are coming up...so dont count the 88 out yet

- Kyle Busch has had 2 down right UGLY races - NH broke the anti sway bar and wrecked his way to a bottom 20 finish and blew up at dover finishing DEAD LAST and dropping to 12th in points...and he says its over...but let me remind yall of something... Alan Kulwicki was 270+ back after crashing out at Dover in 1992...came back to win the title by 10 points over Bill Elliott...so ANYTHING can still happen

Well the boys mentioned the fact that studies linking games with a sharper mind...well Ive known that for a long time - I RACE ONLINE - and so dont some of the biggest names out there

DAN WHELDON
ELLIOTT SADLER
MARTIN TRUEX JR
SAMMY SWINDELL
DALE EARNHARDT JR
RON CAPPS

and others

Alot of these guys uses games as a test session to learn the track if testing is not available...so think about it....are they entertainment - YEAH - but they can also be used as a training tool...so if you wanna be a famous driver...uses games to help ya out...theres no sub for real seat time...but this is pretty close...take it from me...a 33 time champ online...it works

This past NASCAR event, the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard, was a complete JOKE....and I know yall are gonna say "well NASCAR threw the yellows to keep the drivers safe" and Ill grant ya that...but this whole schtick shoulda been avoided altogether!!! look at what Jack Rousch had to say courtesy of jayski.com - Team owner Jack Roush got a second-place finish in Sunday's Allstate 400 at the Brickyard from Carl Edwards, but he was not in a good mood. Roush said that because his team wasn't invited to the Goodyear tire test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in April that involved only three drivers, his engineers and crew chiefs had no idea what to expect this weekend. "We only missed by an inch," he said. "This is a game of inches, but Goodyear didn't give us a chance to test here. We were one change behind all the time during practice." Goodyear tires were wearing out so quickly on the right side of the cars Sunday that NASCAR instituted "competition yellow" flags every 10 to 12 laps. That didn't help one of Roush's drivers. Matt Kenseth blew a tire on the 47th of 160 laps. The other Roush Fenway Racing drivers, Jamie McMurray and Greg Biffle, finished sixth and eighth. So it was hardly a bad day for the Ford team. Asked what NASCAR and Goodyear can do to prevent such a situation from occurring again, Roush said, "You need to go talk to Chad Knaus winner Jimmie Johnson's crew chief. He said it wasn't going to be a problem with this tire. He and Goodyear have something figured out that the rest of us don't."....and apperently Tony even lashed out at the tires saying in part "They need to leave NASCAR after this."....This whole issue coulda been avoided with everyone testing these tires but I guess NASCAR knows whats best...yeah....RIGHT!!!! By the way congrats to Jimmie Johnson for winning this farce.

Well after a rain delayed TD 250 with Happy Harvick (Kevin Harvick for those of you who dont know) the NASCAR STARS move on to Indy for the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard and that means its time for

ALLSTAR WEEKEND COMING UP....PREVEIW FRIDAY!!!

Ight now first off I know alot of yall probably read my post following the Richmond race as I BLASTED Kyle Busch after the contact taking Dale JR out of the runnin to end his 2 year long winless streak...I dont apologize for blasting him...I dont care if yall (Kyle Busch fans) got mad at me for rippin him apart...I stand by what i say...Dale Jr may let him off the hook but Chris Myers and myself feel the same way

That being said its time for the Lady in Black to rear its head at the Dodge Challanger 400 Saturday Night at Darlington...place is fast after a resurfacing but will it revert during the race or does she have a whole new character

PREDICTIONS


I DONT HAVE ANY....AFTER THE RESURFACING ITS HARD TO MAKE THE PICK...IM GOIN ON MY GUT BUT GIMMIE THE 24 CAR THIS WEEKEND

SATIRDAY NIGHT IS ALLRIGHT FOR RACING AND A COOKOUT...I GOT THE AMP YOU GET THE BURG AND ILL MEET YA AT YOUR PLACE 7PM FOR THE DODGE CHALLANGER 400 AT DARLINGTON ON FOX!!!!!!!!!!

Well that was a crazy finish....Denny Hamlin blowin a tire after leading over 380 laps...Dale Jr gets wrecked by Kyle Busch (my rant on this in a sec) and Clint Boywer takes the win in the Crown Royal 400 Saturday Night

BUT NOW FOR MY RANT

I know I dont do this often...but what Kyle Busch did Sat. Night was just plain STUPID and heres why.....If you're on the brakes under someone trying to pass you make sure your car can take it...but Kyles was loose under braking...so you ease it into the corner...but no....Kyle had to take out Dale hard and keep Jr's streak at over 2 years without a win...seriously if you're an 18 fan Im sorry but your driver is a plain out and out MORON and should not be allowed back on the track...how often do you see someone under a car loose...none....but Kyle...DW said it best...Checkers or Wreckers...only problem is they typically need 3 or 4 by the time Kyle gets done

DARLINGTON PREDICTION THURSDAY

Well a very short week for NASCAR stars as its a Saturday Night BLOCK PARTY at Richmond for the Crown Royal 400....so time for the.......

PREDICTIONS!!!!!!!

Jeff Gordon will break out his slump with a win here
If Jeff doesnt win I think JR will bust out of his 2 year long slump with a win
