And THAT'S how I come up with my picks. It's a rigorous procedure, but I'm willing to make the sacrifices evry week to do it.
Scotty, seriously man, that's got to be the line of the month.

Re: Kobalt Tools 500 Predictions * Atlanta Motor Speedway

1. Kasey Kahne

Reason: Bad luck and brain farts this season, has made Kasey look like Robby Gordon at a Wahrd Burton Fan Club meeting. It's all due to change.

2. David Stremme

Reason: Most improved driver so far this season, Ganassi is on a roll, plus he hangs out with Mr and Mrs. Montoya (he of the "I'm just a rookie" set and she of the tight tee-shirt set), and that has to account for something (I'm just not sure exactly what).

Undoubtedly my above will be the kiss of death for both of these drivers. (I should maybe have pick Junior?)

I hope you realize that my statement in parenthesis was made in jest.

Maybe in another ten year I might warm up to the kid. But, to date, all I've seen is a kid who can drive better than the average bear, has a famous last name, and sells the Hell out of tee-Shirts and ball caps.

I'm sure that he's a nice guy and has a lot of positive qualities. I'm just waiting for him to do something to distinguish himself from the rest of the pack, to warrant his popularity.

Hmmm...? Two great minds which think alike?

Cartersville...? Riddle me this, Batman... Is the resturant that was on the west end of the parking lot in the little stip center on the corner of the road that goes toward the power plant still open? The food was excellent there.

That may be because you did not post a prediction in this thread. I went back through this entire thread, thinking that I missed your post, your only post was saying that you won the second race (Auto Club 500 @ California) but didn't know what to do.
I went to the Auto Club 500 thread and saw that you have predictions listed there, but that was the second race, which you won. You need to go to that thread and go to post #40 and read through to the end of the thread to post #48. It would probably help if you went to the thread titled race predictions poll and read that from the beginning as well.
Also, I made the prediction list at 5:29 pm today, your post above (that I quoted) wasn't made until 8:59 pm today. When I get additions I add them to the list. It will be added when you post it in the correct thread.
So if your predictions for this race Kobalt Tools 500 @ Atlanta are the ones that you posted in the Auto Club 500 (Harvick/Kahne) then you need to post them here in this thread for the Kobalt Tools 500 @ Atlanta. Thank you for taking the time to do all of the above mentioned.
