who do you like for next week's 500 ? personally i like either jeff gordon or dale jr. both are top notch restrictor plate guys and are starting to regain some of their former aggressive style. the gen 6 car making it's debut this season is something that was badly needed. the c.o.t. gen 5 car was a disaster and keeping it consistent for many drivers and crew chiefs was a nightmare. gordon and earnhardt had great seasons in 07 and then with the debut of the c.o.t. fell into huge slumps. remember kyle busch criticising the car after winning with it in 08, and nascar jumping all over him ? tomorrow night's shoot-out should be a good indicator of how the big show will go down.
