Fords

Based on how they've been running the past few weeks, would you guess that Roush or RPM gets a win first?

Kasey Kahne isn't going to go much longer without getting a victory. And Allmendinger was the fastest car on the track for much of that race until the final restart. This is at a track where his average finish was 34th. There's no way that it just *clicked* for him. RPM must be setting their cars up well.

Meanwhile... the Roush teams just seem lost. However, the driving talent over at Roush is far above that of RPM. You would imagine that their equipment ought to be too, considering they are Ford's team.

So.. who wins first? Kahne or Roush?

I think Kahne as Roush cars seem a bit off.But never know with a plate race this Saturday.Could see Biffle win there again

AJ led a bunch of laps there in the 500 before a momentary lapse of judgment took him out of the running.

But who knows what that actually means on a restrictor plate track. Where 1st to 30th and 15th to 1st in one lap aren't unlikely, but rather, common. 

Yes I agree YPA if forced to bet a Roush car it would be Biffle.Need to get a book to offer who wins first a Roush car or Dale Jr

If forced to pick, I'd agree with you on Biffle. I'd go 43 for RPM.

Another interesting bet would be:

Who finishes higher in the point standings after 26 races: Dale Earnhardt Jr. or the 3rd highest Roush driver. (Kenseth, Biffle, Edwards).

well Edwards freefalling I'm pretty sure Daytona knocks him out of top 12 and if Biffle doesn't put together some good runs could see him missing chase.

Junior if he can run like yesterday could get in but thats a bif IF but do expect him to run good saturday night

I would go with RPM. 

 biffle

Oh, if my answer wasn't obvious simply by the action of me creating this thread...

I think RPM will win before Roush.

 

if i had 2 pk a roush car 2 win @ daytona it would b the 17   he will b there at the end...              gotta think jr will win friday night in the # 3 car

 

I agree on Nationwide race that Jr may get win

Not sure if the new Nationwide car that debuts friday night will have much Impact at Daytona

in all seriousness

99??????there I disagree

Honestly, I see the 99 being the least likely Roush driver to score a victory this year. The 17 and 16 have at least shown flashes of speed. Edwards hasn't at all. .. And the 6 is more likely to gamble on a fuel mileage or rained out race

Neither. Fords have an obvious problem. They haven't won a non plate race since Kenseth opened 2009 with back-to-back wins. I swore off Fords a month or so ago (posted) and won't play them to Win on any track except maybe the Plate until they fix the problem, break the Jinx, etc. BTW, a rain shorten race win won't convince me either

I'd done the same thing too. And I still feel the same way about the Roush cars. Until one of them wins, I won't pay any attention to them. And I do not believe that a Roush car is going to win this year.

However, I can't overlook Kahne's performance recently. 2nd at Michigan. A top 5 at Sonoma. And a lap-leading performance at Loudon until his engine let go. I really think that he's going to snag a race or two at the 1.5 milers later in the year.

Edwards hasn't even come close to contending since Keselowski sent him into the stands. I'm not sure he'll ever have the edge to win races again. Throw him on your do not bet list with Jr. & Montoya if you haven't already.

i agree 99 doesnt look like he has it.. but i just got a feeling

Well Edwards won in the Nationwide and while it is different he still showed the drive to win.  But I think they are lacking right now (Fords) and something must give.
