I had a very tough time picking the winner and runner up of this week's race. Don't you guys think it might get just a tad bit messy? If many of the top road course aces are running somewhere near each other towards the end, I'm thinking we're going to have a finish like Mexico City's Busch race. Exciting, but not necessarily clean. If you have the likes of Stewart, Pruett, Said, Montoya, Gordon and a few others I'm sure I missed, my dilemma is who's gonna do the bumpin' and who will be the ones spinnin'? I think Pruett would demolish Montoya in a heart beat. I think Stewart wants a win so bad he'd be running all out, no holds barred to get that win. I think Gordon would do the ol' bump and run depending on who's in front of him. I don't think he'd crash a teammate, but I'm not sure anyone else would be front bumper exempt. And Boris - I honestly don't know what he'd do. I'm not sure I've ever seen him play really dirty. I ultimately picked Gordon in first and Montoya in second, but I'm wondering if I'm being dumb thinking Montoya might think twice about wrecking the points leader. After all, payback's a biotch. I'd like to hear what all you out there who know a heck of a lot more about road courses than I do might think.

road courses always bring up the ringer question, but I don't believe a ringer has won one yet.

gordo would love to win a deadakate the win to his new daughter I'm sure.

the one I look for is robby, he can swing a car around those road courses. and needs a bumb in the points, a win would really help in the sponsor department to .

I picked Robby to win. He's always good at these, barring that the motor holds up. I picked Montoya to win. I wouldn't put it pass Montoya to try to wreck who's in 1st if he's in 2nd. After all if he'd do it to his team mate after orders not to wreck each other, don't think a non team mate has much chance. I don't think Boris will drive dirty. Or at least I've never noticed that he does.
And as far as I know a ringer has never won it.

You don't have to worry about Scott. Pruett's running (I believe) Rolex this weekend.

As far as Juaplo spinning anyone, I don't know who said what to him after the prelim to The Winston but he's a different driver than the one who started that race. I think I liked the old Montoya much better. Now he's acting more like a field-filler than a guy capable of winning. I'm hoping the road course will give him some "uump."

He was doing pretty good then took a nose dive, sorta. I like to see him doing good.
