Points to ponder:
1) Will Logano get even with R. Gordon? I don’t think so, but if those two are racing together for any period of time I don’t think Logano will pu up with Robby for very long.
2) Where do you think Ambrose will finish in the race? My guess is top 5.
3) How will the ‘road racing ringers’ do?
4) Speaking of the road ringers, are they becoming extinct in NASCAR as an article at nascar.com claims they are?
5) Any thing else you want to talk about?
I’ve got some things to do today but I’ll be checking in several times over the course of the race (I hope) so if fany of you who might be hanging around here during the race I’ll see you then.
