Look, I get it that Stewart has been the man here in Feb. lately, but when has he won the summer race here?

went back and checked, he has finished 12th and 4th in his 2 summer races, while winning 6 out of 7 Feb. races.

last 3 summer nationwide winners were.....Hamlin, Bowyer and Jr.

Hit Sadler @ +2000 and Bowyer @ +850 for Nationwide.....No plays for Cup so far.

I don't think it's going to be as simple as one driver saying they'll get behind the other and push him. Depending on the different scenarios of the race, there may be no time to switch puller/pusher. If the 48 is in front of the 88 with <10 to go... they're not going to switch. They'll run it 'til it pops.

Fucking great, Bowyer gets wrecked in practice for natiowide, to a back up car now.....Un Fucking Real 

"Right behind Ambrose in Thursday’s practice session was none other than RPM teammate AJ Allmendinger in the famed No. 43. The duo was also 1-2 in 10 consecutive lap average. Marcos’ best finish at the 2.5 mile tri-oval track came in 2009 when he crossed the finish line in sixth place."

While I don't put much stock into a single lap time, 10-lap average may mean a lot at this track. Liking my boys at the RPM camp to have a good showing.

This race is going to be crazy.  There are literally 20 cars that can win this race IMO

20 cars? More like 38.

I will tell you all this theres is a huge difference in guys that can push and those who are better being pushed. I talked to my source (No names) and he said it has something to do with the way the car sits.(Not motor like I thought) Here is a list of who I know pushes well.

Regan Smith

Harvick

Jr.

Keselowski

I look for 1 of these 4 to be directly behind the winner.

Back to drinking on the beach here in Aruba. Gonna sit in the swim up bar and watch the race.
