Pocono!
Here it goes, in no particular order...
Arnie:
Bill Elliott wins
Matt Kenseth 2nd
Jimmy Spencer 3rd.
Heather:
I'm still riding the Jeff Gordon train. It seems to be working well (so far), so I'm staying on board. My pick this week is Jeff Gordon again. Like I said before, I'm going to stick with him until he wins a race! He's just got to win sooner than later!
Alison:
Uh...did I mention that I am new at this? Pocono is a track that Ricky Rudd and Bobby Labonte have won on....so I'm going with Tony Stewart.
Just call it a gut feeling that will probably be sickeningly wrong. Second Ricky Rudd and third Michael Waltrip (are we noticing a trend?).
Bethann:
Well All I am off to Pocono for the race on Sunday, its in my backyard
(only and hour away). Pocono is a unique track, and it is
going to put a test to that one engine rule, so it will be interesting
to see how it all turns out.
My pick to win is Dale Jr., I mean his
luck has to turn around sometime. He was leading this race last year
until he ran out of fuel and Bobby Labonte scooted off with the
win.
Others to look for are Jeff Gordon, Jeremy Mayfield, and those Yates
cars always seem to run well here too. Check back (you're
gonna hear all about it when I get back from the race...you probably
won't be able to make me shut up! Take care and enjoy the
beautiful weekend. Peace Out!!!!
SideWays:
Well me and the boys at the shop have seen better days. Our picks lately seem to be not only wrong but disastrous. So bad that several drivers have requested we pick anyone but them!
We won't let this over-whelming show of defiance stop us from proving them right!
The Fords will sweep. DJ,Mattie,Ryan,and Rusty. Makes you wonder who we really like?
Danny Z:
My perfect prognostication performance being securely intact, I hereby submit
my preview of Pocono. While the young guys have made mincemeat of my picks so
far, I still believe a tricky track like Pocono will bring the cream to the
top.
For the winner, I have to look at the guy that invented shifting at this
trioval, and give the nod to Ricky Rudd. If Jimmie and the boys can figure
out how to shift without tearing up the engine or the tranny, it will be a
wide open race. I'll say they can't, and give my trifecta.
1; Ricky Rudd, good car, good driver, good team, and the ever present rumors
starting to circulate, make this the perfect time to win one.
2; Dale Jr. The posse is getting restless and Junior will try everything to
get Bud back in the circle.
3; Rusty Wallace, because there wasn't a place for him in the first two
spots.
Let's hope for a safe and competitive race and be thankful that the
powers that be will actually let us watch this one. Don't worry, the Nascar
season for real fans starts in a couple of weeks and we can all tell the
greedy so and so's at FOX to kiss our...
Oh never mind, they couldn't care less what we think anyway.
Happy
Racin,
Danny Z
Rob:
I am now officially a resident of Mooresville NC. I figured this might give me an "Inside" shot at getting a predicition.
So, after much deliberation with the boys hanging out at the Hess station, my picks are as follows:
Bobby Labonte to win
Stewart 2nd
Mayfield 3rd.
I am in training at the 5off5on Pit Crew Facility and they are kicking my butt. I will have a weekly diary starting next Thursday.
If any of you ever considered or dreamed about being on a pit crew, you need to contact these guys and check out my diary.
It aint for wimps, that is for sure!!
Lisa:
Missed the deadline, so she gets last week's pick of Dale Jr, again.
Don:
Don also missed the deadline, so we'll give him last week's as well.
1. Tony Stewart
2. Jeff Gordon
3. Ricky Rudd
4. Jeff Burton
5. Dale, Jr.
Don
Charlotte:
Dale Jr. , Who else?
Kevin:
So, no qualifying due to water seeping up through the track?! What
is this, Texas?! Well, bizarre circumstances call for a bizarre
prediction.
The race will be called after 142 laps due to water on the track.
This will not be due to rain or the high water table, but will
be caused by NBC trying to steal some of FOX's thunder by continuing
to promote their "Spy TV" show with more flying Port-O-Sans. A huge
fleet of helicopters will fly over Pocono Raceway with portable toilets
in tow. Due to budget cuts at NBC, the quality of these plastic
lavatories will not be up to specs, causing them to dump dangerous
fluids onto the track as they circle above. It will be a truly surrealistic
scene, and sort of a combination between "Apocalypse Now" and the
famous Thanksgiving episode of "WKRP In Cincinnati." FOX's Mike
Joy will dutifully shout, "Falling water in turn two!" just as the
director in the truck cuts to a commercial break. While viewers
at home wait in anticipation to see who the next big star is that
will ask Dale Jarrett to race the big brown truck, the race is halted
by the red flag. FOX returns viewers to the race with the announcement
that it is the first
"flush-out" in racing history, and the following graphic of the finishing
order brought to you by the official toenail clippers of NASCAR:
1st - Kyle Petty in the #45 "Get off the dang phone while you're
drivin, you idiot!" car
2nd - Jimmy Spencer in the #41 "Yes, there is another store besides
Wal-Mart" car
3rd - Ricky Rudd in the #28 "Which oil company do I work for?" car
4th - Mark Martin in the #6 "six-pack that has nothing to do with
beer" car
5th - Rusty Wallace in the #2 "Win my beer's fantasy league game
and go party with Hugh Hefner" car.
I hope those of y'all who get to see the race in person have a good
time. Just remember to wear a hat!
