Dale’s Week 16 Advice - “a lot of us are going to have the same drivers”
Posted By: Dale Jarrett
Hello again everyone and welcome to the left coast. This weekend the guys tackle the first of two road courses they will face this season. I had a pretty good week last week to put a little more distance between Elliott and myself. But I believe this weekend a lot of us are going to have the same drivers picked, so there may not be a whole lot of movement in the standings. Let's get to it...
In the "A" group this weekend, I believe I may stick with the Childress camp. The 29 and the 31 are excellent road course drivers, both had solid top 3 finishes here last year. The 07 pulled a fourth out of here last year as well. So any of those three should get you a quality finish. The 20 and the 24 will be strong again, and the 11 has shown he is a strong road racer too.
In the "B" group, it begins and ends with the 42. I would say he is pretty much a must start. The 7 with Robby Gordon is about a must start as well. These guys can really get around these tracks. I also like the 26 in this spot. He is a very underrated road course driver.
In the "C" group, I am looking at Boris and Ron Fellows. Pruett could have a good race, and some of the rookies could get some good finishes here. The 77, the 10, or the 40 could end up getting you some quality points.
Good luck everybody and have a great weekend.
