I have one good week and catch DJ, and then I blow up my "B" group picks last week and lose it all back. Okay, I am now going to have to take the gloves off. Let's get it on, DJ!!!
In the first group this week, I like the 11 and the 99. The 48 will be strong again, and the 20 and the 1 will finish well. I like how the 17 has bounced back from to better form here lately too. I think this could be a bounce back week for the 07 too, so watch him closely. I am leaning towards the 2 as a start as well.
In the second grouping, my teammate in the 9 ran away with it last weekend, so I think he is a definite start. I still like my car's chances as well. The 12 will be strong, along with the 16. For my dark horses I like the 42 and the 26.
In the last group, you have to put the 83 and the 22 up there. The 84 should run well. But if it is as tough to pass this weekend as it was last weekend, you need to pay more attention to the starting positions. It was so tough to pass last week that the teams who qualified well ran towards the front for a large portion of the race. If you watch practice or qualifying, listen to what the drivers are saying about their ability to pass. That could be crucial.
Have a good weekend and a safe and happy father's day.
