Predictions, Atlanta edition
Yeah, I got some predictions for y'all, too. OK, so I know that all season long Kasey Kahne has been making 1.5 tracks all over this great country of ours into his prison bitches, but I don't think he's going to make it happen this week. Texas, maybe, but not this week. Oh, he'll run good and he'll do it all day long, but I don't think he's going to seal the deal. I'm looking at the bottom 5 of the top 10 for the 9.
Actually, I don't know why, but I have an inexplicable hunch that someone weird's going to win tomorrow, like Biffle or Edwards or something. Or maybe someone's going to get themselves a first win, and here I'm thinking maybe Casey Mears but mostly Scott Riggs. He's had a few pretty decent runs at 1.5s this year, a couple poles. Yes, I'm aware that his average AMS finish is 19.5. But it's Halloween and it's allegedly the fastest track on the circuit, so anything can happen.
If nothing wacky goes down, then I'm going with Johnson. The 48 team is on a hell of a rebound tear lately, and while I don't think it's going to be enough to get them a championship, I still think he'll win at least once more this season. And Atlanta's as likely as anywhere, really. I'm going to have to disagree on the 24 and the 6, though: they're both fine teams and they'll both produce good runs, but I don't see either one pulling out the win. Junior might do it - the 8 team's looking solid these days, and if Junior can avoid doing something stupid, or something stupid being done to him, he might do it. Stewart, as you pointed out, will have a good run; also, look for the 31 to rally back after the M'Ville debacle of last week. In closing, ladies and gents, your top 5:
5. Martin
4. Kenseth
3. Burton
2. Junior
1. Johnson
