This is the last race before the cup chase series! Will that affect your picks?

They do mine....

My Richmond picks are:

1. D Hamlin <~~~ Hometown Boy!

2. G Biffle <~~~ He's gotta do well....or 2009 could be a bust....

3. K Harvick <~~~ A surprise pick? He seems to race better this time of year...and MUST love being a spoiler....

4. R Newman <~~~ #14 will give him some cover so he can move up and shut out a couple racers flirting with making the chase....

5. M Kenseth <~~~~ I have a hunch....

My spare will be JR Guess why?

OK! Remember....tis is a Saturday race with qualifying on Friday...an..it's Tuesday already!

I do have to agree with your #5! I did feel bad for Carl and his poor car. I wanted him to do good for the little girl who designed the paint scheme.
