My top five finishers this weekend:

1. Tony Stewart
2. J. Johnson
3. E. Sadler
4. C. Edwards
5. R. Newman

How does your top 5 look? Is this the hardest sport to pick a winner, or what? I think that I would have better luck at the horse track.

Is Charlotte officially Martin's favorite track? It seems like I heard someone report that last weekend.

I would say any 1.5 or 2 mile track would do. He does have 4 wins at Charlotte, same as Dover and Michigan

I dunno but he has to like Pocono as well. He has finished 2nd there numerous times and it would be cool to finally break through in his final year. I saw Martin win at Dover last spring as well as 3 straight September races back in the late 90's. I'll be at Dover next weekend as well as Pocono the following weeek. I wait for these two consecutive weekends all year.

I don't know how in the world you did it, but you hit it right on the nose with Schrader finishing 9th. Take many trips to Vegas? Play the Lottery often?

Bobby drove extremely well and did all that a driver could do. J. Johnson is a phenomenal driver, but Labonte could have won with a Hendrick car. Congrats to Johnson on his third straight CC 600 win. That's not an easy track to drive on anymore and he did a great job.

For those that watched the race I wonder what you thought. Personally I thought they have pretty much ruined Charlotte. I imagine by next spring the track will be good again, but it seemed like it was pretty much a 1 groove track, and although it was fast than ever too many wrecks. :(

I worked for Rousch racing for a couple of years. Schrader is one of the nicest drivers you will ever meet.

Yeah, if you watch Inside NASCAR (Monday nights on the Speed Network), him and Waltrip make a good duo. It's almost like Schrader is there to buffer Mikey's comments.
