After a weekend off the tour picks up out west. What story lines are you watching?

Will the Petty/Labonte resurgence continue?
How will the Roush shakeup play out this first week?
Will this be the place Chad Knauss assumes his former role of prestige?
Will Kyle Bush be spinning tires under the checkered flag?

I don't know about you guys but i'm prepared to see Jeff GORDON win his first Pheonix race this weekend

Man i'm glad I was watching the tube last night. For some reason I didn't even know this was a night race. Was making Sunday plans...now I need to rearrange. Should be better anyway.

Sure I am wrong but something inside tells me Denny Hamlin might be a surprise winner this weekend. Just think we're due for a surprise and Denny grew up on the bullrings here in VA. Maybe that translates to AZ!

So did you all notice how many boo's rained down on little shrub when he won the pole? Found that amusing. Normally that happens when a driver has been winning way too much. This is really just dislike. It will be interesting to see how that evolves over the years. too much talent there not to be a long term contender. I have a feeling as he matures and wins he'll gain a siazeable fan base.

I don't agree that there is too much talent to NOT be a contender. Harvick looked like the man when he took over for Earnhardt. For my money he has fizzled right out. The only strong thing he has going for now is his crybaby attitude.

Lil Shrub may create enough team tension wher no one will want him. He will eventually turn into anothe Mr. Excitement (Spencer) and create one wreck after another.

Well i hate to do it but...

Looks like you may have to eat a few words. Harvick's talent shone through again. That's the thing. When you really have it, circumstances may hinder for awhile but the talent will ultimately prevail. Same with the Bush boys. Get used to them they'll be around for a long time.
