Good afternoon West Texans and all you good, fine, friendly folks out there who wish you were . . .
Trying to pick the winner of the Daytona 500 is an exercise in folly but why not give it a shot! It is always a crap-shoot as to who’ll have the best power, best timing and who’ll stay out of The Big One. This year should be even wilder with the increase in horsepower thanks a little larger restrictor plate and better downforce on the cars.
I think a lot of it will come down to who can be aggressive and smart at the same time. Who can take advantage of the power and make some moves like Kevin Harvick did in the Bud Shoot-Out and maybe put some slide-jobs on some people like Juan Pablo Montoya did the other day in the Duels. So, that of course rules out Kyle Busch. . .
My Picks
By the way, I’m rooting for Tony Stewart of course, but in order not to jinx him I’m not going to pick him to win.
- Kevin Harvick
He’s looked racy since last week, he’s hungry and he’s obviously got some serious power in the 29. - Dale Earnhardt Jr
He is a part of Hendrick Motor Sports still, right? Surely this he can make it work this year. - Jeff Gordon
Why not? - Tony Stewart
A trip to Victory Lane on Saturday should give him even more confidence. - Kasey Kahne
I love the way he’s driving right now. Richard Petty should be proud.
Ok, those are my picks, now get yours in and let’s see how we do. If you happen to nail the winner correctly I’ll get you set-up with some free Domino’s Pizza, the Official Pizza of The Williams and Hyatt Show!
Good luck,
Hyatt
I’m pickin’ Tony Stewart to win. He looked good in the Nationwide race.
Junior!
