Pit Picks – Texas (Dickies 500)

This week the Cup series heads to the Dallas/Fort Worth area to run the second Texas race on the schedule.  Texas is a very similar track to Atlanta (yay cookie-cutters), but with a little more grip, so this weeks lineup should look alot like last weeks.  in fact, the top 5 in the spring race [...]

Pit Picks Review – Atlanta (Pep Boys Auto 500)

One thing is becoming quite clear.  Jimmie Johnson and his #48 team have this Chase thing figured out and are going to win their 3rd straight Championship.  Carl Edwards, one of only 3 drivers with a realistic shot at surpassing Johnson won the race, only to have Jimmie come back from going a lap down to finish [...]

Over the past few days I’ve been crazy busy, and was unable to post this week’s picks prior to the race, so I’ll cover my picks and review them in one post.  Thanks to the Canadian Thanksgiving holiday, and all that goes with it, I was only able to catch about 30 laps of the [...]

Pit Picks Review – Talladega (Amp Energy 500)

Let me just start off by saying this was the worst week, score wise, I’ve ever had in the Yahoo pools.  Take a look at the top 10 of the Amp Energy 500, and it’s not hard to understand why, with only a couple familiar names up front.  Talladega is a complete crapshoot, thanks to [...]
