Hey all. Man a war of words between the #48 and #11 teams headlined the news this week. We’ll see what this translates to on the track. My predictions?

Hmmm ... well I have three different scenarios;
1) the #48 team, fueled by the #11 team’s comments, dominates and kicks butt
2) the #11 team shoulders the hype put out there by themselves and lives up to it
3) the #29 team sits back and watches the #11 and #48 teams self-destruct and comes out on top
Which one will it be? Honestly I don’t have a clue but I didn’t put the #48 team situation first without a reason.
Starting line-up is after the jump. See you on the other side.
