Good afternoon everyone and welcome to Phoenix. After another week off, we are ready to get back to the action. Make sure you have your lineups set early this weekend, because the green flag drops on Saturday night here in Phoenix.
In the "A" group this weekend, I am not even going to kid anyone and make them think I am not going to plug the 48 in at least one of these spots. He has absolutely been dominant at this track. In fact I like all the Hendrick cars this week. I know I am not treading out on a limb by saying that, but with the 24 running as well as he has this season, and the 88 finishing in the top ten in both races here last season, I look for the whole team to be strong. Other contenders out of this group will be the 99, and the 33.
In the "B" group, I am going to stick with the Hendrick group and probably plug the 5 car in one of these spots. I think they are overcoming any mechanical issues that they may have had. I also like the 2 and the 26 here.
In the "C" group, the 47 and the 44 should be good. The 55 could give you a decent day with the points. Outside of that, keep an eye on the 12 and 77.
Good luck everyone and be sure to have everything set early for the Saturday night race!!
