Its a wild ride at Pocono..... 2.5-mile tri-oval features three turns, each with a different degree of banking, and three straights, each with a different length. This combination produces fender-to-fender action in the turns, 200 mph slingshots on the long straights. Mikey gets the pole ... his first pole since 1991.... the Tony and Jeffy story probably won't play out till the last few laps if they are still in it.. Tony is up near the top in the points... and Jeffy fell like a stone down to 11th after last weekends race...If they are anywheres near each other on the last lap... it could get nasty.Jimmy J will be on everyone's radar... a heck of a driver and always a threat.. he's won the last 2 races here. There will be a couple of big wrecks....look for Rusty and Mark up front and Biffel is on a roll...Tony and Jimmy j should be in the top 5....... soooooooooooooooooooooo.. Shave my back ( but not my legs), Brush my Toof, and Take Me to the Races !!!!! go baby go !!

While not a fan of his,,,,I'll say Kurt Busch to win, although I think the Target/Ganassi/Havoline team with Jamie McMurray is long, long, overdue [my dark horse pick].Matt Kenseth also needs a top five finish,,,,been a rough year so far. If Rusty can stay smooth, he to could have a top five spot. Predict big wreck: Little E hits Waltrip, who bounces off Jimmy Johnson, who turns Jiffy Gordon sideways, who collects Vickers, who spins Harvick, etc. etc. etc. OK,,,I can only dream Lets Get it On!

Earnhart and his bunch seem to be cursed ...... they just can't get it together..Kurt Busch will be there at the end one of these days... Very hard to predict these races... except for the Johnson Factor... he's a player every race..

I think John Force will probably win again!! Making more HP in 1 cylinder than the whole engine does in Nextel Cup Car. REAL RACE CARS GO TO FAST TO TURN LEFT!!

makes you wonder if the winner will be only one left that doesn't have a flat.... this might be decided on the tire issue.....

I guess if Mikey (5th) keeps on finishing higher than Little E (33rd), Teresa will fire her stepson instead of Waltrip?

Michael Waltrip is in town for the Busch race this Sat. He is signing autographs at Meijer on Thursday 11 to 1 PM. Anyone need something signed?
