Finishers

	Matt Kenseth Roush Fenway Racing – Ford Point Standings: 1st

 

 

I may be taking away the potential glory of Matt’s attempt at a three-peat, but statistically Matt doesn’t have a chance of getting into victory lane this Sunday at LVMS.  Matt does however have the experience at Vegas to make it into the Top ten like he has done five out of the nine times he has raced in Nevada.

 

Denny Hamlin Joe Gibbs Racing - Toyota Point Standings: 15th

                                                               

Denny might not be the golden child at Joe Gibbs, but he will be putting some trophies on the shelf at JGR.  Like for instance, this weekend Denny has a higher probability of getting a Top ten than any other driver because out of three races he has the highest average finish with a 7.3.

 

 

Jimmie Johnson Hendrick Motorsports - Chevrolet Point Standings: 19th

Jimmie is supposed to be the driver who you can depend on to be consistent for most of the races at most of the tracks, but I have said it before this season already that Jimmie is not going to be doing too much this soon to impress us.  Unless of course a Top ten is what you are looking for then you will be totally satisfied with Jimmie’s success this Sunday.

 

Jeff Burton Richard Childress Racing – Chevrolet Point Standings: 31st

Jeff is 31^st in points.  Is that a lucky sign?  When in Vegas, gambling is a must.  That is exactly what Jeff is going to have to do to get himself out of this point’s hole.  Jeff has the chance to get a Top ten out of this track if he does exactly the same thing he did last year in the spring race.  Yes, easier said then done, but what do you think the crew chiefs say to their drivers before a race?  Just Kidding Mr. Scott Miller.

 

Contenders

	Carl Edwards Roush Fenway Racing – Ford Point Standings: 9th

 

This weekend for the Shelby 427 Carl may be the driver who is defending his win from last spring’s race in 2008, but that is about the jest of it.  It seems like the Roush stable has done some changing of the guard and the top horse may not be the one that back flips.  Other than his win last season at LVMS, he has an additional Top 10 out of four starts.

 

	Kyle Busch Joe Gibbs Racing - Toyota Point Standings: 18th

 

A friend asked me to aide him on deciding who he should bet on this Sunday for the race for some on-line betting site.  He was unsure of the format and had never bet on a NASCAR race.  Guess who came to mind instantly?  Kyle Busch.  When in comes to picking a sure thing, Kyle will make it well worth your while.

Reader Board “Matt is the MAN with two consecutive wins, but is Las Vegas going to be the track this Sunday to make it three in a row?” Jason L. – Pennsylvania   I checked the forecast for this Sunday on weather.com and Las Vegas is expected to have a High of 72 degrees, mostly cloudy, and a 10% chance of rain.  That equates to Matt having a 10% chance of getting three wins in a row.  -NASCAR Natalie   Post questions & comments to: NASCARNATALIEANTHONY@yahoo.com
