And The 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion Is….. Three points, two drivers, one champion. Carl Edwards started off this weekend being fast in practice, and brought that over into qualifying where he won his third and final pole for this 2011 season. Martin Truex, Jr. will start beside Cousin Carl on Sunday, and for [...]

Kurt Busch – Kurt Busch has finished in the top five every other race at Homestead going back to his 2002 win (didn’t compete in 2005). Last year he finished 18th so he’s due for a good run. Busch has been one of the more successful intermediate track drivers this year but his performances have [...]

Where There’s Smoke, There’s Fire Judging by Saturday’s qualifying session, the Kobalt Tools 500 definitely has the potential to be a wreck-fest, maybe even worse than the one we had at this track in February.

I expect this duo to work together again and have similar results. Another advantage for Harvick is that he’ll have three teammates who [...]

Time For Some Unfamiliar Faces Up Front First, I would like to thank everyone who commented on last week’s Predictions article as well as those who tweeted it, ‘liked’ it on Facebook, or just simply told a friend to read it. If you’ve been reading these posts all season, you noticed that I changed the [...]

A= Really, Really Good Pick Jimmie Johnson – This track isn’t called Lowes Motor Speedway anymore but it’s still Jimmie Johnson’s house. In twenty races at Charlotte Johnson has six wins and fourteen top tens. Earlier this year Johnson finished 28th but I’m not the least bit concerned (engine blew up with about 5 laps [...]
