Open Race Thread: NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400 | Michigan International Speedway

Happy Father’s Day!

I would have been at this race, and yesterday’s too, if it were not Father’s Day weekend. I know NASCAR is a family orientated sport - or it is at least trying to become more of a family friendly sport - but it is hard to justify dragging the family to a race weekend, on Father’s Day no less, when they don’t like NASCAR. As much as I would like to do that I think it is too selfish on my part, especially since all they want to do is spend time with me.

So, you thinking this might be another gas mileage race? Yep, me too.

It will be interesting to see who comes out on top at the end of it. My picks this week are Carl Edwards to win with The Biff being my dark horse (he’s out of the top 12 at the moment so that makes him eligible to be a dark horse).

Here is the starting line-up via nascar.com.

See you on the other side, in the comment area of course!
