OK, blueschica going with Kasey Kahne, the 5, and Mr. blues going with Aric Almirola, the 43 !

 

Kasey Kahne appeared in a sprint car race each summer near here for a few years (Williams Grove) until he flipped his car and got a big, fat NO from Rick Hendrick . . . . .

Probably won't have much time this weekend so I have to go with the obvious this week, the 4.

Ok. going with my super secret strategy! :ph34r: :ph34r: (so secret I haven't even figured out what it is yet . . . )

 

blueschica- 27 Paul Menard

 

Mr. blues - 42 Kyle Larson

 

And what's with the NCAA selection show going to a 2 hour length and starting at 5:30? That stinks. CBS is trying their best to ruin March Madness.

I didn't phrase it very well- just the selection show. Too much talking and too many commercials in 2 hours when everyone just wants to see the brackets! :D

That thing is already dragged out horribly, so I'm not anxious to see how they end up wasting time THIS year...

I don't think I even need to wait for qualifying. Phoenix? I'm going 4.

 

Can I please get points for Kenseth for last week?

 

You did. You had 17 from Newman in week 2 and 5 from Kenseth in week 2 for a total of 22.

Ok, I was reading the standings wrong.

I know a lot of people are excited about the rookie class this year. A lot of people have called Chase the shoe in for ROTY, but I think that's premature. Ryan Blaney is going to be very strong.

 

Another young driver who's stock is on the rise is Austin Dillon. Currently he's 8th in total points with no finish worse than 11th through four races. I'm not sure their team is in winning form, but it's the same RCR form that propelled Ryan Newman to a championship runner-up in 2014. I feel like Dillon's recent frustration over team performance has him racing with a chip on his shoulder.

The ESPN follow-up is way better with Bilas and Co.

Interesting factoid...

 

There have been 14 "photo finishes" (margin of victory under .02 second) in the Cup series since NASCAR implemented electronic scoring in 1993. Of those 14, Harvick has won four. The only other driver to win more than one was Dale Earnhardt with two.
