BengalszoneBilly Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 My strong pick for "Favorite" in this race has to be Kurt Busch. This is about the time last year when he got his "Groove" on and made his way to the front, and it appears it may be happening again this year.My "Sleeper" Casey Mears ain't really all that much of a sleeper (can we call him a "Napper?) seeing as how he did win the pole here once. Casey also has been running stronger as of late, and due a lot to his families history at Indy, this is one of his favorite tracks. I look for him to finish in at least the top 10 on Sunday!

Kirkendall Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 I'm going with Jeff "freakin'" Gordon and Tony Stewart.BTW, in respect to the points system, Gordon is my sleeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsbengalsbucks Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Gordon is the Brickyard king, Rusty Wallace is my sleeper he is having a year and is due for a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkendall Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 OK.... seriously. Tony Stewart is my favorite. Winning Daytona seems to absolutely rejuvenated, not only his season, but for the past 2 or years. There's just something different with Tony in terms of his success than the past. Now, we can all agree winning is infectous. Winning at Indy would be his ultimate checklist. Climbing on the fence, kissing the Bricks at Indy would motivate the team enough to do their best during pits, chassis shop, etc.. I think he's got that extra motivation you may not find in anyone else right now.. My sleeper is Brian Vickers. This kid has got to win soon, not because of a job -- his seat is more than secure I'm sure -- but because he's run well lately, especially at Pocono and I think he's seeing that checkered flag. He's learning more and more how to bring a car home, and he just needs that one race where everything comes together. He's actually my pick for next first time Cup winner.

AMC Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Its hard to bet against Tony Stewart this weekend, but Kurt Busch will be hard to beat. I will go with Tony in Indiana.My sleeper this week is Dale Jarrett. He has run well at the Brickyard in the past. But here's hoping the top of the pack has some trouble so the chase can tighten up a bit. And what has happened to Biffle. Nobody talks about him anymore??? He could reach up and make things interesting this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkendall Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 And what has happened to Biffle. Nobody talks about him anymore??? He could reach up and make things interesting this weekend. Dude, when Biffle wins, he freakin' dominates. His wins seem always like double-digit leads. But he's keeping pace right now with JJ, but seems to be doing more test work gearing up for the chase yet running conservative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chase looks to be coming down to JJ, Biffle and Stewart....and Busch is coming on strong....I agree Biffle is trying things out getting ready for the chase, but so are Smoke and JJ....Nice to have that luxury!!!!!!!!! Wish my boys did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StripesNTn Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Favorites are Gordon and StewartMy sleeper..................Go Mickey, Mr. Waltrip outta have a good run.

semiotter Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 zoom zoom zoom!!!!!!!!!! GORDON at home in Indy....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyFan20 Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Favorite: Tony Stewart. Hard to bet against him. He is coming into Indy better then he ever has in past years. If he wins Indy this year not only will it be a celebreation like no other but it will also make thr 20 team almost unstopable. Tony Stewart winning at the Brickyard would be like Jr winning at Dega. The place will go wild. ;-)Sleeper: How bout Joe Nemecheck or maybe even Bobby Labonte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a league here, (it starts with the beginning of the Nascar season of course) and so far it's been a lot of fun! Not quite the same as football, but still worth the time!As you can see, I'm not doing too badly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
