Well, I've been gone a week and my good friend Frady posted a thread letting everyone know that MWR had all 3 cars in the top 35. This was great news as now they can all concentrate on the first impound race of the season. Although 'Dega doesn't warrant a lot of set up changes it is important to be able to work on your car knowing it is right for the race. If we take a look back at qualifying at Daytona and Last year at 'Dega it appears that Mikey and David should have good starting spots. With that it also means a good pit selection.
Everyone knows that I am picking Mikey for the win at 'Dega but I am for a reason, One, Toyota has proven they have a strong plate program this year. With the help of Joe Gibbs Racing their plate program has come up to where it is as good as anyones. Also, Mikey is good on the plate tracks. The last couple of plate races, we saw Mikey lead a little then fall back and try to wait for the big one to take out the field before the final thrust to the front. Well it bit him both times. So I look for Mikey to stay in the top 10 most of the race and when it comes to the last part I see him in front and blocking his way to his first win as an owner.
Lets hope for a great race and a safe race for all drivers and may your favorite driver finish 3rd behind Mikey and David.
