Alright, they say all ladies should own a little black dress, and like all ladies, Darlington is dressed in black, this year literally as the track surface is now black. This should be a rather exciting race as cars are believed to have been clocked at over 200 MPH down the back stretch. So what we have here is a speedy lil track(1.388 miles i believe), should be interesting. Here are my picks.
Gotta go with similar picks as last week, they are as follows
Winner: This guy has 5 top 5's at Darlngton, and another top 10 in his races at Darlington. Infact 3 out the the last 5 races at Darlington have finished with a top 5, 4 out of the last 5 with a top 10. The only time in the last 5 races he finished outside the top 10 in the last 5 Darlington races was when he blew an engine and finished 34. The man? None other than the Rocketman Ryan Newman. I lucked out last week with this pick thanks to the stunt by hamlin which allowed Newman to creep into the 6th spot all the way from back in 15th. Once again, going with my fave driver. A good week for him, will be a good week for me.
Chasing the Chase Should i even have to say it? I am going to go with Jeff Gordon. So far picking him as worked for me, and he does just well enough to help me in the standings, but just bad enough to stay outside of the top 12. Hopefully my picking of Jeff Gordon will continue to curse him and allow him to not get into the top 12.
No Chance: Who to go with here, I forget who i picked last week, i think it was front row joe. Lets see, shorter track, high speeds, new pavement, heavy cars? hmmm lets go with an open wheel guy. I am torn, I can't go with Hornish, I will never pick a Penske guy to lose until Newman is no longer with Penske. So that means I gotta go with Patrick Carpentier
