I know its getting close because the country stations are starting to play the NASCAR themed songs like I love nascar and riding with the legend - heard both today.

For a predicition, I'll take Jr in the shootout and Stewart in the 500.
Hopefully they'll be a couple RCR cars in the top 5 or 10. And while I'm hoping, lets say Kurt gets taken out early and does something stupid on camera.

Would like to see the Yates boys up front but Mr ultra conservative and Mr crashalot don't run restrictor plate races well

Have to disagree with you when it comes to "Mr ultra conservative". Didn't he win at Talledaga last year and I know has at least on Daytona victory. He seems to hold his own on the plate tracks even with his stay in the back strategy.

Luds I think he had a lot of help if my memory serves me right, cautions and such helped at the end, it's not like he had a strong car and held the pack off all day.

You're dead on about the cautions and how the race ended last year. I had forgotten about that. He's looking like a bit of a lame duck in shootout practice right now too. I still feel like you have to give some of the older drivers respect at the restrictor plate tracks because they have more experince in the draft. I'm not a DJ fan but if they give him a decent car I think he has the potential to contend for the win.

It's sweet having the practice back on on Friday nights. TRACKSIDE BABY!!!!!!!

I would much rather see a guy battling for a win than riding around in the back until the end, it frustrates me to no end. But then again when these young guns are tearing up their rides, DJ is riding behind laughing waiting for his spot to jump into

GORDON WINS!!!!!

Bobby Labonte 2nd in the petty car. ( just to piss off joe gibbs)

Tony Stewart 3rd.

Mark Martin 4th.

Greg Biffle 5th.

Jimmy Johnson, kiss the wall turn 4, 3/4 through the race due to impatience. Jr., blown engine early. Elliot Sadler will pretend its talledega and roll 5-7 times
