Relying on JJ to have a big race. Car was fast in testing last week, and went well last night in practice and qualifying. Still a little worried about the funk that Hendricks cars appear to be in, but JJ does like it here, and they fancy their chances
** Denny Hamlin 6/1 or better
Top driver at this track in the past 5 years, and should again be in the thick of things. Do think the Gibbs horsepower is superior to the other teams at the moment
* Kyle Busch 9/2 or better
Cannot leave him out, as he is just awesome at the moment and is Gibbs best driver
Had toyed with Carl Edwards, Kurt Busch, Kasey Kahne and Brian Vickers as well for this race, but think I have the best 3 for the race on Sunday

Sod it. Should have waited to see the whole of the Practice sessions before giving my Top 3. Would have stuck with JJ but most likely would have put Kasey Kahne in my top 3 rather then Busch. The sad thing was, it was Kyle who ruined Jimmie's chances, as the late incident which caused a caution, threw out JJ's, pit strategy gamble. If no caution the majority of cars would have had to pit under Green , and he would most likely have taken over the lead. The other gutter was the poor price of Brian Vickers, who has been a 150/1 poke the majority of races, but because every one waited to see my tissue, we could not get the decent prices for him. Did back him in running at 80/1 with SJ which helped. Still on to next week, and hope for better luck
