You know, I’m liking this battle for the points. So much so that I’m going to DVR this race as my son’s hockey game starts about the same time as the green flag is going to fly and I’ll watch it when I get home. Don’t expect to see me in the comment section either - at least not until I’ve watched the race.

So who is going to win? Tough call. If you want a safe bet then go with either Harvick or Busch, but if you must pick a winner out of the Truck regulars than I’d pick any one of the drivers in the top three or four in points, with a nod going to Buesher and Dillon - if for no other reason than they qualified strong (P1 and P2 respectively) and are way out of the pack where a lot can happen.
