-Denny Hamlin and Jimmie Johnson were the two guys to beat in Saturday's practice sessions in my opinion.
-Greg Biffle was fast, he felt great about his car and he could be a nice option on Sunday's night. Roush had some speed in final practice!
-Don't just depend on practice this week, I would highly recommend keep momentum, track history and starting position in-check. Passing is tough here, so I definitely want drivers who start up front. You can pass, but as we saw in the NXS it took awhile
-Tony Stewart is a bit of a question mark to me. He have lost all of his momentum and seems to be headed the wrong way. He looked decent in practice, but he ways away from being a top 10 contender though
Garry Briggs (@Garryy12):
-A driver I expected to look good was Jamie McMurray. He wasn't that good in practice, but he has plenty of other things going for him though. A lot of momentum and a solid track record. Those two things may give him enough fantasy value to be started in Yahoo this week.
-Jimmie Johnson in my eyes had the car to beat in Saturday's practices. His lap times stood out more than most did. Helps, he was consistently at top of the board on the speed charts as well.
-Kyle Larson was very good on Saturday. He was very consistent overall. A lot of drivers I noticed were a bit all over the board, not Larson. He was pretty happy since unloading off the truck.
-Expect to see several cars to kiss the ''Lady in black''
Matt Aleza (@MattAleza):
-Kasey Kahne could surprise some people in tonight's race. He had a good pair of practices, but can his team keep up with the track is the question. It worries when he has a half-way decent car in practice, because his team a lot of times fail to keep it that way in the race
-Martin Truex Jr has a lot of speed for tonight's race, but big question is will he avoid the dreaded bad luck? Probably not, but if he does he will likely be a top 5 to top 7 contender
-Passing will be difficult, so you want to have track position. In the NXS race, Kyle Larson restarted 6th on the final restart with 34 laps to go. He couldn't advance past 4th place on slightly fresher tires. And he easily had the car to beat on the long runs, too.
-Watch out for Brad Keselowski starting from 2nd place. He dominated last season's event! I wouldn't be shocked if he got out front and led a lot of laps
