I hit the past 2 with Stewart +425 and Shrub +225 as my only plays. Lack of practice has made this one more of a gamble so I'm taking 3 this week.

Brad Keselowski +450: Open pit and he's the best driver in this race other than Kyle Bush. May not lead early but will be there at the end.

Brian Vickers +575: 2nd in only practice and has front pit stall. He'll likely be in position to lead early and often. Clean air will keep him up front and out of trouble.

Austin Dillon +725: Fastest in practice with best single lap and 10 lap average speed. He too enjoys an open pit. I expect either him or Vickers to take off early and lead the 1st half with ease.

My plays on Vickers and Dillon may be me much like Mark Martin did in the Cup race last week. Kyle Bush +280 may be the best play as an only play. But I'm not certain that anyone will be able to catch Vickers and/or Dillon since they came out fast from the start. Bush and Keselowski should challenge but the lack of prep time may keep them out of the lead as they play catch up with their setups. Green flag racing is what either of the 2 Nationwide regulars need. Good luck to all.

I completely overlooked Hornish. He's typically snake-bitten so he hasn't been on my radar. I think that Vickers could've challenged had he not been stuck behind the Sadler/Bayne battle at the end. It's good to lose a week to remember that I'm human. I guess that posting on here and losing serves me right. I'll be back next week. May not have anything tomorrow as I've whiffed on Cup so far.
