Who's watching?
Carl Edwards qualified on pole this morning significantly ahead of the rest of the pack. I'm picking Tony Stewart to win it (his last 6 starts here have resulted in 4x 1st place and 2x 2nd place finishes) though Marcos Ambrose has a decent chance of getting his first NASCAR win here and Juan Pablo Montoya also has a good chance at his second.
Qualifying this year came close (a tenth of a second off) to finally breaking the record set prior to adopting the "Car of Tomorrow" so we may see a fast race, and with the removal of many of the gravel traps hopefully the full course cautions will be kept to a minimum.
