Predictions for California?

[VMS]

Boring race? Good race?

big question: Will it sell out?

Steve

[JohnMickish]

I will be the first to say boring and no. I really hope I am wrong on the first part.

[harvey lee]

I will pick Gordo. really.

[JohnMickish]

You feeling OK or is this one of those reverse phsychology things?

[harvey lee]

I am feeling ok and I need points, no reverse for sure.

[uwecsteeple]

I will say a roush car. Kenseth won last year, Biffle 2 years ago and Edwards has an ave finish of 4.4. Didnt Biffle lead most of the spring race last year and then run out of gas with a lap to go? whoever wins, it will be boring, bring back Rockingham.

[wally20]

BORING , but its California so its gota be good right. The way the weather forecast sounds it will be a good day for a nap then, watch the last 10 laps!!

Thinking Stewart will show some more of what he had last week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Meaney]

Boring, yea for the most part, but still it is a race and I'll watch it.

Kenseth to win!

[Harmonica Bear]

Races at California rate right up there with watching grass grow. Definately not a race to introduce a NASCAR newbie to. I will be back from Mille Lacs by race time, but I guarantee you I'll get a good nap in before the checkered flag.

The Rousch stable have pretty much ruled the roost there the last couple of years.

[Uncle Bill]

Any race Kenseth wins is a good race.

Go #17 !!

[Hooliganz]

yes, i agree with others that will be rousch day, hopefully Kenseth wins, Jr. has done well there in the past though.

[Meaney]

Uncle Bill...i can tell that you are a smart man!!

yea..."Matt Kenseth will debut the popular #17 Carhartt/ DeWALT Ford Fusion in this weekend’s event at California Speedway. Since entering the Cup series full time in 2000, no one has completed more laps on two-mile ovals (California & Michigan) than Kenseth, who has completed 5,299 of a possible 5,302. Kenseth’s average finish at the two two-mile tracks is 9.84, tops among active drivers with 11 or more starts. Matt has four wins at Fontana, three Busch and one Nextel Cup. In Saturday’s Busch event, Matt will drive the #17 Dish Network car for the first time".

[Cyberfish]

I pick the 17 too, I sure do wish they were racing at "the Rock" though!

[wally20]

I'm going to use the 17 this week, so pretty good chance he will be in a wreck

I'll go out on limb and pick Tony Stewart...

[VMS]

If Kahne brings the car I am expecting him to bring, I bet the 9 will be strong..

Ya probably some more of that 43rd place power for the doughboy huh! You may be right.

Gordon and Kenseth had the two best cars on these type tracks all the latter half of last season. No reason they wouldn't be the two favorites here this weekend.

haha, I hope not!!

[JohnMickish]

The winner will be Clint Boyer.

[Meaney]

shall I laugh now or laugh sunday!

[JohnMickish]

Laugh now. I really think it's going to be Kyle Busch but realized I didn't pick him this week.

However, you can't say that the RCR cars aren't running good so it could happen.
