Good afternoon everyone and welcome to my home state of Virginia. And like our motto says, "Virginia is for Drivers", or at least that is how it should read.
In the first group this week, I like the 11 to have a good run. He led the most laps here in May before he ran into some late trouble, and he should bounce back here to get a good finish. The 07 will finish well. He basically has to, in order to qualify for the chase. I like the 48 and the 24 to have a good showing as well. The 29 is coming on strong here lately, so keep an eye on him as well.
In the second group, if you still have some starts left for the 8 car with Mark Martin driving it, go ahead and start him. He will get you a good finish. Your second pick should come from the group of the 16, 6, 26, 12, or 9. Starts are getting slim for some of these drivers I know, so you really need to study on how you are going to use them in these final weeks.
In the third group, I like the 22, the 44, and possibly the 01. Also, don't forget that Joey Lagano is making a start this weekend in the Cup series, so if he qualifies, he could be a good start. That young man has some talent.
Good racing everyone and make sure to sign up for the chase game. Time is running short for the chance to win some extra cash!!!
