My prediction - Kenseth will win!!

(Oh nuts - late again.)

As far as the Vickers/Earnhart crash - not an unusual thing for a couple of, IMHO, mediocre drivers. Yes, I do know that there are lots of Jr lovers here and elsewhere - but how much support would he have if he didn't have that magical name, even if it is a Junior. Would he even be a factor if Dale Sr hadn't been killed? He bitches and bellyaches about everything - why?? He has the best equipment that money can buy. His cousin is his crew chief and can't control his driving and whining? At least one other crew chief has tried - and probably even more. It almost appears that Johnson and Gordon wont "work" with him on the track. He's ~35 years old, and has never really been able to make a real lasting mark - except by his name. Not a lot of wins for the dollars spent - he barely made the Chase last year and did not 2007 and 2005 He has endorsements from about every sponsor in NA$CAR and is making more money then ever, but how many more years will it continue until they drop off. Does he spend too much time sampling his wares at the Charlotte bar he owns? The two pit road screw ups are inexcusable for a driver at this level. Then he has to know Vickers will be blocking with the incoming weather and a chance to be the "lucky dog" - but maybe he thought he was still on the lead lap and Vickers was just trying to hold him up for unknown reasons. Whatever - these things happen in mini-milli microseconds and a zig that should have been a zag causes these wrecks

Vickers - he is usually a mid to back marker driver. Could be good with some teams, but then, maybe not!! Not ever been one of my favorites.
