Little E won it last year. Who will this year? Any takers?
I'll take the #48- Jimmie was fastest in testing and he's been seriously competitive at all the restrictor plate races lately. This is only a 70 lap race-long enough to need to show some patience, but short enough that the aggressive stance of the younger drivers may be a bonus. There're some serious wild cards in the group-
Boris Said (on a superspeedway? where's the road course?)
Kenny Schrader- if he can avoid any major wrecks in front of him or behind him he could make a good showing.
and Mike Skinner- it's been so long since he's been competitive with the big boys I have my doubts.

I'll be checking out Happy Hour on Speed Friday at 6:30! Maybe I'll change my mind about Jimmie...maybe Jeff will finally be showing us what he's really got ready to go at Daytona
