Fire up the grill
Humpy Wheeler isn't the only one picking winners these days. The Charlotte Observer's David Poole has challenged Wheeler, the owner of Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte, to a pick-em contest. Winner gets a steak cooked by the loser. The loser gets two steaks. (ba-BUM! Thank you, I'll be here all week.)
Here are their picks side by side:
Event/Poole/Wheeler
Pit crew (Thurs.)/Mayfield/Waltrip
All-Star pole (Fri.)/Kahne/Johnson
Trucks (Fri.)/Hmiel/Hamilton Sr.
Nextel Open (Sat.)/McMurray/Marlin
All-Star Challenge (Sat.)/Kurt Busch/Jeff Gordon
Busch pole (5/28?)/Biffle/Edwards
Busch race (5/28)/Sorenson/Kenseth
Cup pole (5/26?)/Newman/Nemechek
Cup race (5/29)/Johnson/Martin
My picks? I don't have that kind of guts, but my gut tells me that they'll be lucky to get three right -- between them.
Anyone else want to take a guess or three?
