Whio will do better at Bristol?

[just a fan]

Bristol is always fun to play "who will do better" because so much can happen. Butr in the end normally the better drivers come out on top. So in your opinion who will do better?

Junior or Martin?
Reutimann or Lagano?
Harvick or Kyle Busch?
Edwards or Gordon?

I'm thinking Junior finishes ahead of Martin, Lagano ahead of Reutimann, Harviick ahead of Busch and Gordon ahead of Edwards.

What do you think?

[south jersey girl]

Jr
Reuti
KyB
Carl

[Chris]

well... I know Jr has several good finishes at Bristol...
But Martin HAS to turn his season around THIS week... so I look for Martin to step it up.
As far as the others... I'd say
Reutimann
Busch
Gordon

Oh sure just put the two front runners up there, the two fan favorites, a rookie and one of the dominate Bristol racers (possibly ever) and choose.

Okay I'll bite

JR has a better weekend than Martin (but not by much and i ain't putting money on it either)

Reutimann definately and Joey put's the 20 OUT of the top 35 in owner points (that I'll put money on and I've been saying it since last year)

I'm taking Harvick here. RCR always does better in the spring race.

Edwards Gordon taking Gordon.

If I had asked this I would have asked

Harvick / Bowyer

Kyle Busch / Edwards

Kurt Busch / Jeff Gordon.

I think Kurt busch could pull out two in a row and I'm looking forward to hearing practice times tomorrow.

I'll go with Martin, Reutimann, Harvick, and Gordon. 

Pairs #3 and #4 are pretty much a toss up.  I went with MM over Jr figuring he will handle the pressure of a bad start to the season better, Jr lately has been pressing too much and having it come back to bite him.  Reuti seems like a good bet over Logano, I don't expect much from either of the rookies this week... just chalk it up to a learning experience.

In fact, Scott Speed might be a good pick for "involved in first caution" this week.

Well let's see....

Mark Martin....he's gotta shake that monkey off his back sooner or later...what better place to do it than Bristol?
David Reutimann
Kyle Busch....provided he can keep his cool and hang out till the end
Jeff Gordon...five wins at Bristol?  hard to bet against this guy especially with how he's been running so far this season

Kurt Busch / Jeff Gordon.

I think Kurt busch could pull out two in a row and I'm looking forward to hearing practice times tomorrow.

When we did predictions in Mirror Driving, I said it would come down to these two guys provided they can stay out of the wrecks earlier in the race.  But I also think Kurt Busch has the momentum on his side...especially with the way last season went.  He's got a darn good chance of going back to back.

Won't matter as Smoke gets his first win as an owner 

[Yatesguy]

Martin jacks Jr.

Ruti laps Lagano

Harvick beats Busch

Gordon edges Edwards

Nice alliteration Yatesguy 

[Racingnut5]

Junior or Martin?
Reutimann or Lagano?
Harvick or Kyle Busch?
Edwards or Gordon?

I think Martin, if the car doesn't break again, will triumph over Junior. He just has more experience and it just depends on whether Junior shows up to race.

Reutiman over Lagano. Again, just the experience really.

Harvick or Kyle Busch is a tough one, but I will go with Kyle on this one. As was already mentioned he has momentum on his side.

And finally Jeff Gordon. I read an article in the paper about him today he claims he rebuilding his confidence again. If he doesn't get involved in a wreck I think we'll see him up front this week and perhaps even pull off a win.

[DougS]

Well looks like ol' Mark Martin didn't forget how to get around Bristol after a 2 year absence.

Kevin was plain ol slow today and couldn't get the car to turn we'll see how that all works out before Sunday.

Riggs and Mayfield load up and go home.

Kurt Busch is going to have to fight through a mid-field start. Going to be a good race come sunday I think.

[20forLogano]

Martin over Junior
Logano over Reutimann
Harvick over Kyle
Edwards over Gordon

[south jersey girl]

alot of good drivers in good cars starting pretty far back in the field. 
should be fun to see them work their way to the front...maybe use some creative pit strategy

Kevin Harvick...starting 30th
Kurt Busch...32nd
Matt Kenseth...33rd
Dale Jr...34th
Cousin Carl...38th

Kurt Busch is going to have to fight through a mid-field start. Going to be a good race come sunday I think.

LOL 32nd is hardly mid-field   I checked nascar.com for qualifying results when I got home from work and found myself getting more and more frustrated as I scrolled through the lineup looking for Kurt.  That qualifying is more like what I'm used to from last year, and I hope they've got something good for race day.

[Tonyfan14]

Another pretty decent starting spot for Tony.  I don't know what he did during the off season but I could get use to these top 15 starting spots.   It sure beats starting 20-30th every week like I've been use to.
