The cars are impounded after qualifying and have to start the 125s with the same setup... at least that's what I heard... haven't verified that one. The big guys will keep the downforce in the cars and use the race setup and be conservative while the guys out of the top 35 and those with less to lose will put a qualifying setup on the car.

I'm going with Michael Waltrip (in his DEI tribute number 15 car) and Kasey Khane (in his new Red Bull colors).

Bet you didn't see that one coming!

I will pretty much look like either a genius or an idiot with those picks.


Row 2 will be some combo of Stewart/Harvick/Gordon/Earnhardt/Busch depending on who is in what qualifying race.





EDIT: If I was wrong above and it isn't inpound qualifying, I am going with 88 and 83. I think Brian Vickers comes back strong this year. The kid has all the talent in the world and Red Bull is starting to put some decent cars together. I'm thinking Toyota will be on par in terms of hp this year too unlike years past where it was bowtie or go home.

They can indeed change the setups before the 125s so just like I said from the start, if that was the case, I wouldn't pick those guys.

...and as for who I root for, I was born and raised a Dale Earnhardt Sr. fan. My dad still has a drawing that I did when I was 6 of his old Wrangler car (I didn't say it was a good drawing). This is in my living room to this day...



...all models that I built over the years. My coffee table is made out of a tire that I got at the 1995 Brickyard 400 from his winning car.

The only other driver that I would ever consider a favorite is Jeff Gordon. I have been a fan of his since he won the first NASCAR race that I went to (1994 Brickyard). I have been lucky enough to meet him on multiple occasions. He is as nice as it gets. I like him even more lately since he is now the old veteran.

I wouldn't call them "my driver" but I will always root for Ryan Newman (Had a few classes with him at Purdue), Harvick, Jr., or a few others to do well.
