NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Subway Fresh Fit 500 | Phoenix International Raceway Open Race Thread

Can Kyle Busch pull off the triple header weekend? Stay tuned to find out boys and girls. I like PIR, and I’m a little scared about how much the track may change after they repave it. I just hope they put Safer Barrier on every inch of every wall around the track - especially after the hit The Kez took yesterday when he cut a tire coming out of turn four and hit the wall just past where the Safer Barrier ends.

My picks today include Jimmie Johnson for the win and Denny Hamlin as the Dark Horse but I also wouldn’t count out Carl Edwards, or either of the Busch brothers for that matter.

The starting line-up can be found here (via nascar.com).

I’ll see you on the other side, in the comment area of course!
