Michael Mcdowell (of ASR'08 fame) took a tumble on Friday. This wreck is freaking unbelievable. Easily the worst I've seen in years, and maybe the worst I can remember. On the bright side, he walked away. On the other hand, he is definitely not proving that working out on ASR'08 makes a Cup driver out of you.
If you watch the replay carefully, you see the car get just a snitch loose, the back gets away and then... he commits the cardinal sin of wrecking. The car was past saving and he turned the wheel to the right, which in turn sent him into the wall almost perpendicular for a massive hit. It looks to me like he is still a little behind the car. By "behind" I speak in loose aviation terms for being essentially one step behind the movement with the reaction. Before McDowell realized the car was lost, he was still thinking "I can save this." If he is to survive the mile-and-a-half tracks, he needs to catch up to the control.
The race starts at like 1:30 9or at least to coverage does. Get me your picks before the start.
Personally, I am torn between 2 drivers this week. Junior has been coming on strong and having good top 10 finishes and is likely due for a win, but my gut says Biffle. He is tough at this track and has been very consistent over the first 6 races. I dunno. This will be a late call for me.
Look for the selections during the race and the standings after.
Later
PT
