NASCAR Fans - Pick Your Top 5 for Texas

[ToriLammy]

I'm starting early this week because I have news to share:

I just got a phone call from Young America - a promotion company that handles sweepstakes. The sweepstake in question was Budweiser Race Flyaway Sweepstakes - a trip for 2 to the Texas Race on April 4th. It was only open to Oklahomans. I won! I'm going to the Texas race! This is the first time I ever entered a sweep knowing that I would be the winner. I've entered them hoping to be the winner but this time I just knew with every fiber that my name would be picked. Yee Hah! Budweiser is paying for airfare (but I asked to drive it's only 3 hours), 2 nights hotel (Sat and Sun), 2 tickets for the race (wonder where I'll be sitting) and $200 spending money. Now I know for sure Gordon will win on Sunday

Okay so, there. My hands are still shaking but you know the drill. Picks must be in before qualifying on Friday (time currently unknown but guess around 4PM EST). I won't be here to do the results until late Monday but I'm sure you guys understand We had been planning on going down on Friday to watch qualifying and the IROC race (it was what we could afford) but now well...I gotta see what DH wants to do but I think we'll be there Friday through Monday.

Here are my picks:

1. #24 - J. Gordon (my luck will rub off on him)
2. #12 - R. Newman (won here last year)
3. #8 - D. Earnhard Jr (feel I owe it to Bud )
4. #48 - J. Johnson (A young gun and those guys have been lucky)
5. #97 - K. Busch (see J. Johnson above)

Spare - #29 - K. Harvick.

Good luck everyone!!!!! Can you tell I'm happy?
