I hope I can stay awake to watch the end of this race because I’m sure it will be a good one. I like night races but sometimes they just go a little too late for my liking - especially if they are on a same-day delay that TSN in Canada sometimes does because there is something more pressing like CIU Basketball.

I expect to see a good run out of the three car tonight. I have no facts to base that opinion on though, I just have a hunch that he’ll do well.
Who do I expect to win? Humph ... any of the better funded teams that have a full-time Cup driver behind the wheel. Not that I like it mind you, but that is the harsh reality of the Nationwide Series - when you get deeper pocketed Cup teams dipping into the Nationwide pool then it puts the Nationwide regulars at an unfair disadvantage.
Starting line-up after the jump. See you in the comments - if I can stay awake!
