Hello everyone and welcome to Phoenix. Here it is. The next to the last race. I hope you have thought very carefully about how you will play these next two weeks. Because some of you will be receiving a nice paycheck in the near future if your strategy pays off. Let's get to the action.
In the "A" group this weekend, if you have a start for the 48 stashed away, go ahead and use it here. He has been nothing short of fantastic at this track, and I look for him to bounce back this week from his so-so weekend at Texas. The 11 and the 17 should have good finishes. And I definitely think the 07 will be at the front when the checkered flag drops.
In the "B" group, this group is very tricky this week and the next. The starts have dwindled for the teams that have shown the most promise this year. So who do we go with? I know that I will start the 5 in one of my spots this weekend. The 43, 42, and the 12 will get consideration. If you are looking for a dark horse as I know a lot of us are, make note of how the 38 is running in practice. He came out of here with a 15th place finish back in April.
In the "C" group, I would definitely plug in the 44 or the 28 if you still have starts for those guys. The 15 and the 55 could score solid finishes for you as well. For a dark horse in this group, keep an eye on the 77. He had a top twenty finish here in April.
Good luck everyone and I will see you Sunday at 3:00 EST on ABC.
