For the coke 600 I'm with Harvick in the 29 (all year actually)

For the Danicka 500 :reye I'm picking Penske and Hornish for another victory. Oh, it's the Indy 500, oh ok, Sorry, Penske and Hornish again this year. (won the 90th Indianapolis 500 and the 2006 IndyCar Racing League Series Championship) Also, hope D Hamilton does well or doesn't get hurt at least, great cinderella story if he could win.

Anyone but Hendrick Motorsports! :rolleyes I'd prefer Jr. but also wouldn't mind anyone from Childress taking the checker.

Havent watched Indycar in years so dont really know who to say there.
Gotta go with Jr. but he just has to many things going on to do well I think. So Harvick is a good pick and yes anyone buy Hendrick!
WHats your thoughts on where Jr. is gonna end up? Its been already been said it wont Hendrick (thank god), so how about Childress?

Well JR is pick #1, and now that all the DEI (stepmom don't know crap) issues are over he can focus on driving again. As for where he goes???????? I was glad to hear the Hendricks "supposidly" had no more for another Cup car. He has already stated that he will finish his career driving the "3" car for Childress, but not too sure if he's headed there this early. Bobby Ginn Racing said the would give him a blank check to go race for them, and look what Martin did with then in the first five races....

For JR it's not about the money, as he has stated. He needs to go some where that he can still run JR Motorsports and be part of a competitive team in the cup series at the same time. It'll be interesting to see what developes....

I was thinking Ginn racing but it's supposedly out now so Childress (RCR) is looking more and more where he goes despite crawling out from his father's shadow being tougher there. I don't thik he'll go with the #3 however, not until later on as he's said before.

Danica was running over 219mph laps. I am wholly impressed.

Anyone heard if Bud will not be with him as well for a sponsor?
Bud is sticking with JR were ever he ends up, the same with Wrangler jeans. And Chevrolet will have a big role in trying to keep himin one of there cars as well.

On a side note, did you see the air Gordon got on that wreck. Glad to see he was OK....That was one hard hit.

umm, why, that is her job to go those speeds right? Everyone else in the running was.

big time, he looked a little shook up. Understandably so. He hit real hard, and into a safer barrier to. I think he was lucky he was not hurt, he hit hard enough to bounce backwards airborne.

The reason I was impressed was because people don't think she is a player or any good as a driver.

So if she sucks wow she sucks good.
And according to ESPN only her and Kanaan? was running 219+ last I checked.

The back tires were above the safer barrier for an idea of height. Kinda makes you wonder what would have happened if they had the safer barrier when Earnhardt crashed at Daytona
