RPG - Loudon - McCoy

OK, enough newsgroup stuff, time for RPG.

The Win: I want to say Truex, but I think I'll go with another
Chevy and pick Harvick to win.

1) Best Ford - Biffle. No good reason, it's a tossup between him,
Kenseth, and Edwards.

2) Best Dodge - h*ll of a qual run by Carpentier and Labonte both,
but I don't think either team is strong enough to keep them there.
Best finishing Dodge will be Newman.

3) Best Toyota - Hamlin runs this track well, and the rest of
them seem pretty darn slow in qualifying, so I'll go with Hamlin
for best Toyota.

4) Best Rookie - going late was an advantage, but none the less
Carpentier was impressively fast. I'll stick with him for the
best finishing rookie.

5) B-team competition - Yates (28/38) average finish is better
than RBR (83/84) is better than Hass (66/70).

Well, the late caution scrambled my results just like everyone else
(not so surprising, since several of my picks were copied, I'm sure
coincidently, by others)

Right team, wrong car.

Nope - Almirola again.

Closer than I expected, but nope (32, 29.5, 35.5 respectively)

race: 0
segment: 2
