Hamlin is on the pole, Gordon is starting in the top ten and Johnson is starting way in the back. Should be an interesting race.

Speaking of interesting, RCR has done some switching of their crew members in order to save Harvick’s attempt at a Championship.
My picks for this race are Jeff Grodon to win with Ambrose being the dark horse pick. Although I would also expect very good runs from both Johnson and Hamlin with Tony Stewart not too far behind but I am going to keep an eye on Harvick because these kind of switches in crew members sometimes pay off, especially in the short term.
Hey since we are talking about fantasy racing have you seen who the new leader is in Charlie and Steve’s Expert Fantasy Pick ‘Em? (Cough, Cough ;).
Starting line-up is on the other side. See you there.
