Two practices and cancelled qualifying. EWWW.

Going from those two practices and the starting (points) order:

Top Dodge: Kurt
Top Ford: Carl
Top Chevy: JJ
Top Toy: Hamlin
ROTY: Logano will finish 10+ positions ahead of Speed

Winner: this is the hardest bit, but I'm going to go with Jeffro. Just kind
of a gut feeling on this one......

I'm going to guess that the reason Keselowski and Busch were
together so much was Keselowski will be Busch's teammate next
year, and they wanted to get an early start. Don't know that
it actually worked out as well as they might have hoped (it
occurs to me too that James Finch's car is usually a Dodge,
altho it was a Chevy this week, and Finch may get technical
support from Penske, which would be another reason to try and
work together).

Going off on a tangent here, but I've got to say Johnson really
had luck going with him today. You can't call him a skilled
drafter (it's perhaps his one weakness), and he was in 33rd and
making no progress at 10 to go. Then the Newman wreck happens
and 6 cars ahead of him are removed. After that 3 cars run out
of gas and others pit. Then the final accident occurs. Upshot
is Johnson ends up in 6th, when the best he might have done if
the race had gone green all the way was 28th. Skill and luck
combined is a mighty hard combination to beat.
