Since NASCAR’s Cup Series has never visited Kentucky, there are many unknowns heading into the weekend.
Daytona featured a track-record 74 lead changes in February and Talladega featured a track-record 88 lead changes in April.
Marcos Ambrose has crept into the fray of consistent contenders and has outperformed Gordon and Stewart on numerous occasions in recent years.
I would put David Ragan back in the lineup this weekend. He has a pair of top 10s in eight starts there and the Roush cars are always strong in the Irish Hills.
This week, the series heads to the tricky triangle of Pocono Raceway. The 2.5-mile track usually lends itself to long green-flag runs.
Roush Fenway Racing’s Greg Biffle was only a few laps from victory when he had to pull his No. 16 down pit road in the final laps of the 600.
The Daytona 500 and Coca-Cola 600 provide something that fantasy owners don’t get in any of the other 34 races on the NASCAR Sprint Cup schedule: a test race.
Now the schedule shifts to another tough track on drivers and equipment: Dover. Chances are we won’t see an upset like last week.
Kahne is coming off his best run of the season at Richmond and heads into the weekend as the only NASCAR driver to win at Darlington this season.
