NASCAR @ Infineon
Any bets?
I'm picking on of the following to win:
1. Tony Stewart
2. Marcos Ambrose
3. Mark Martin
Scott Speed did not qualify - overdrove the car in qualifying - went off course, but have no fear, Red Bull bought Joe Nemechek's starting position and Scott Speed will be in the race, in the 87 car, vs the 82 car.
I know you guys hate NASCAR but I had a ball last night watching qualifying.
Race is gonna be awesome with the double-file restarts (if there are any)

I am really looking forward to it.
I like Vickers as the time he spent at VIR recently has really helped him pick up the pace. I know Logano has spent a lot of road course time as well.
My picks
Montoya
Ambrose
Gordon
The double file restarts are a 'When' not 'If'

Personally, I hope they do at least 2-3 double file restarts. It'll really make the restarts fun to watch. (not that they aren't fun already)
You are right, Vickers did a great job yesterday, and he has just as good a shot to win.

My money is on Marcus Ambrose. He's a road racer and made his mark in a similar hard charging large V8 coupe world [Aussie V8 Supercar series] so he has the chops to beat the roundy rounders who turn right two times a year.

What's that mean? And how does it work?
It sure was fun to watch Speed drive in qualifying with that little position slider. He lost a ton, when sliding off into the dirt.

It will get him driver points for the championship although back in 35th or so it won't help get him to the Chase.
It gets the sponsor's name out there and makes them happy.
It doesn't help his car get 'owner points' to get him into the group of the automatic qualifiers though.

It means a couple things.

Yeah, but how do they "buy" someone's qualifying spot? I know Nemacheck said he was looking for a sponsor for that race...how do they do a last minute driver change like that? (w/in the rules) Are they the same team? Couldn't anyone just buy their way to the front under those conditions?
