Who's going to win this one?

Is this still Jimmy's track? :mad:

Will Tony get his second victory? ;)

Will the Toyota Camry Hybrid Pace Car be able to maintain it's charge throughout the entire race? :shock: :ignore:

Will the winner possibly be able to lift that new, big a$$, trophy after the race? :confused:

Are you going?

Are you already there?


My pick, Carl Edwards.

I look for Ryan Newman to be strong.
His car was dialed at the end of that All-star race
Shame they went 3 wide and crushed his quarter panels.

I can see Uranus from here
First 600 i'll miss seeing in person in 7 years. Got tired of the traffic to be honest. I'll watch the pre race and first few laps, take a nap, then watch the end. 600 is just too long and the new car makes it a snooze fest.
