OK......LET'S TALK BRICKYARD!
GO..JR..SMOKE AND GORDON
GO..CHEVY RACING!

Answer 1

Let's see it has been said for years that if you could set your car up to run good at Pocono that the same setup would also run good at Indianapolis.That being the case I look for Denny Hamlin to be strong after all he thoroughly spanked em at Pocono.Also Jeff Gordon as a four time winner certainly must be considered a threat to win,also Jeff is trying to obtain a place in the chase so he will be motivated to run well.Of course Tony Stewart has to be considered right up there at the top of the list,and not just because he's my favorite driver.Tony is the defending race champion and there is probably no track Tony would rather win at than his home track ,after all this is where the fence climbing started I'd love to see a repeat this year.Dale Jarrett is a two time Indy winner but with the current state of Robert Yates Racing don't look for Jarrett to be a factor this year.Jimmie Johnson as always will likely be strong also and could win it all.It would be nice to see past winner Bobby Labonte run well for Richard Petty but I don't think he will have a car that could win.
Ok here are my top five picks.
1 Tony Stewart
2 Denny Hamlin
3 Jeff Gordon
4 Jimmie Johnson
5 Kasey Kahne
I think Tony will take the checkerd flag not only for the above stated reasons but because he also needs to cement a place in the chase, also I think Tony is the most talented driver in NASCAR today.I would like to see Dale Earnhardt Jr have a top five or top ten run he really needs a good run to climb back in the chase,it would really be bad if Jr doesn't make it this year.Let me see if I coverd all the bases,yep I think thats it.Too bad we have to wait another week.

Answer 2

Who is going to do what?? Well, I am going to be screaming and acting all a fool right in the stands, LOL!!!! Yee-haw!!
What I hope to see is Smoke take another win. I know he can do it, and I would love to see him pucker up for another wet one with thos bricks!!!!
I really think you'll see a few of these names in the top 10. You know, I would love to put my predictions down for the top 10, but wow, it's a crazy season and it's anybody's game.
I think you'll definitely see J. Burton up there, an J. Gordon. Probably see a little Jimmie Johnson.. Of course Smoke will be up there!!
Mmm, some wildcards?? Only b/c it's so hard to judge anything..but I'd say on some past performances you might see
Kevin Harvick
Greg Biffle
Mark Martin
Kasey Kahne
Kyle Busch
up there..
It's so hard to say at this point in time of the season and such.

Answer 3

Elliott Sadler, Tony Stewart, Casey Mears, Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick, Bobby Labonte & Dale Jarrett are all past winners or at least pole winners at the track, so they all have a shot!

Tony Stewart will probably win, putting him back in the chase!

I think some others that may be in the top ten will be:
Kevin Harvick
Jeff Gordon
Jimmie Johnson
Denny Hamlin
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Kasey Kahne
Jeff Burton
Matt Kenseth
Kyle Busch (ahh....zips mouth shut)

Answer 4

Top five: I'd say Gordon, but chances are his brakes will fail. Burton, definitely top five if he doesn't get wiped out. If Tony Stewart can keep cool, he could take it again this time, he diid have a lap penalty and still ended up in (top ten? don't remember) last week. Darn good for going a lap down. Jr is still struggling this year. The Biff will run up front all day, but won't pull it off. My man Jimmie is struggling lately, so sad. Kasey is hurtin lately too, s'up with him. So really, I'd say damn I don't know. I usually guess wrong in my fantasy league.

Answer 5

Denny Hamlin is taking the Pocono car to Indy with what's suppposed to be an awesome set-up. The Brickyard's four turns supposedly drive a lot like Pocono's three...I think he's the guy to beat, but watch out for Jeff Burton--his time is coming.

Answer 6

We all know Smoke will be up front somewhere... Denny Hamlin has been flying this year and Kasey Kahne should be up front. I really would like to see a repeat performance from Tony though it would really help him points wise and we all know what this track means to him

Answer 7

as much as i wish junior could get a win in, i think tony stewart is the favorite for that race. just because of his experirience of that track. im not sure how many times he has one at brickyard, but i know its more that one. that is all i have to say, because you said you didnt want to hear who i hated.......

Answer 8

is there a doctor in the house,think valium is in order?what is this burning incense on brick alters and offering raisin cakes to the queen of heaven,has the world gone maaaaaaaaaad

Answer 9

Yeah, I'd say Hamlin will be up front. J. Gordon is very good there, so I'd expect him to be upfront all day too.

Answer 10

who cares about the race...ill be there at 6:30am till i get kicked out and probably wont see anything but the start...its boring!
