seg 4 picks

Only 10 races left till the chase and the 88 team (which has been good this yr) needs a strong finish at Daytona this week to make up for the last 2 races that have not been kind. This segment has Kentucky's first running of the big boys, should be interesting. Then to snooze Hampshire and last race of segment is Indy, hopefully we get racing like last year (or better) and not like few years before last years race. We shall see...

Here are my picks, I've closed in a bit on first, but need a very strong segment to close the gap some more!!

Daytona - 88 wins!!  Man I really thought about going with someone like the 33 who has been good and is due to win in Daytona and probably wouldn't get picked by many people, but I have to go with my heart and its Daytona baby!! How can I go against my driver in Daytona?! Bring home some firework magic!!

Kentucky - 18 wins (booo)  Ok, so I looked it up and kid dork (Logano) has won the last 3 nationwide races at Kentucky and seems as close to a lock as you could have for the first Cup race at a track, but honestly Kyle has won there too and Joey ain't exactly lighting up the sport the way some thought he would at the top level.  He might win, but we know King douche bag can and will do anything to win. Guess I'm hedging my bet, cause if he wins it helps me and if he wrecks on lap 1 and finishes 43 - well damn that would make my weekend!! If I'm not being clear about how I feel about the 18 allow me to clarify, the 18 makes me want to root for a 48/24/27 - 1/2/3 finish!! I hate that dude!!

Loudon - 48 wins  There are literally only like 5 people worth picking as a winner pick at this track, so this is my f-it I'll pick Johnson here pick. Hate the guy as most do, but he wins and you gotta get the points.............................................................................................................................................sorry, i actually fell asleep just thinking about New Hampshire racing, lets just say that's a good day to do some yard work in the morning or go golfing or something to make the couch real cozy for a nice summer afternoon nap during the race.

Indy - 99 wins   Our points leader is looking for his first back flip at the brickyard and I think this is the year he gets it done, hope for my sake I'm correct. Going to talk about Edwards and the Roush ford boys for a second. There are a lot - LOT - of people in the A.B.J. (anyone but Johnson) camp for whom they want to win the season champ and the 99 (and at times the 17/16) look like the ford boys may have what it takes to make the reign of lame end. I will throw a caution (and anyone that has ever owned a ford will understand) that the 99 or anyone can lead 35 weeks of the season, but come the end of November we need someone not to 'hamlin' the last couple weeks away and let homo comeback and make it 6 in a row. Now in my delusional state I can see the cup staying at Hendricks with team 88, but I've had dreams where I am 180lbs, have a 15in dong and have to choose which of my Ferrari's to drive each morning, so clearly I am able to fantasize the impossible. In the real world, we probably need the driver of the 'food poisoning ford fusion' or deputy dog Biffle or tarded Tom Cruize (although like my office-FedEx doesn't deliver) or God forbid the 18 to break the streak. Really for me that would be like _____________________ (fill in you own awful analogy of something worse replacing something already awful) shiver at the thought. Who knows maybe the Bud car will get it done or maybe a nice story of a bowyer or newman surge in the chase would make for a nice story. Not holding my breath.

So finally after all that rambling, remember this - if the 88 does make a lot of dreams come true for us 'still hanging in' fans, 2012 is a year away!!

Ooooo Ferrari, showing the hardtop convertible California edition from 2008!!
