I picked Michael Waltrip, to win. I'm glad the Busch leaders from last year are up there.

I've been a J Johnson fan since he came to Nascar so he's my pick. After watching practice yesterday i think he's got a great chance. He was the only car passing (17th to 1st in 6 laps) without someone beating in the back bumper. I like J Burton as a dark horse pick.

There's five guys to look out for and they are, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon, Michael Waltrip, Jimmie Johnson and Tony Stewart. My favourite driver is Jeff Gordon and I also like Tony Stewart, so i'll be cheering for them later today. It should be a great race.

what a race(ZZZZZZZZ)
last 30 laps things got reall good, but it took 170 laps to get there. I knew 24 gordon would win, he was pretty quiet upfront, not showing his hand, and blammo! he pulled it off. what a mysterious charge by Earnhardt, that car was ****, adn he gets up to challenge wow |

The last 20 odd laps were stunning...lets see what happens in California next week. The Trucks were eventful as well if you read the NASCAR site!

Jeff Gordon has always been my favourite NASCAR driver and he's not only a good oval driver, he's one of the better road racers as well. IMO, I could see Jeff driving in F1, Champ Car or Sportscar racing, but I doubt that will ever happen since he makes alot of money in NASCAR and is one of their top personalities. Maybe when he gets a bit older he'll branch out into other disciplines of racing, however, that's a big maybe!
