Kyle Petty 15th? Has the earth spun off its axis?

Two surprises here, Kyle being 15th and being the fastest Dodge.

Many surprises, Nemecheck, Allmindinger, Schrader, Jon Wood, and going the other way, J. Gordon, Newman, Kurt B. and all three RCR cars.

Deadline to enter picks is 1:00 pm EST.

NASCAR.com has free track pass today. It gives you a computor real time graphic of the race with several angles of or from any car in the field. Tells you lap times, intervals, avg speeds, and has team radio communications . Give it a try.

 

[McLovin]

Thanks for that free track pass info. I was at Nascar.com earlier and didn't even notice.
Well, I'm not going with the JJ or Gordon today and almost everyone has JJ at least. I'm just tired of rooting for drivers I don't like.
