Food City 500 pick 'em

just getting the picks in before today's race at bristol. yeah, it's been one of those weeks. anyways, today starts a new era for nascar as the car of tomorrow rolls out for its first race in competition. today's forecast is also a new era for bristol as last year at this time, snow was a threat. today? a heat wave could push temperatures into record digits in the 80s. boy, that race track will be slick today. enjoy the race, here's the picks.

trevor sager (25 points) - matt kenseth.
trevor feels that matt got a bad break going out first in qualifying and that he will run strong today. kenseth did win the last race at bristol, but that was with a different car. he'll start 38th.

geoffrey miller (20 points) - jeff gordon.
is this turning into a battle of who has the better favorite driver? looks it this week. man, i'd love to break the cycle, but when gordon is starting on the pole and looking good to start the season -- it's tough to pick against him. of course, this is bristol.

drew owen (10 points) - dale earnhardt jr.
3 weeks and no points. thats a tough start for drew. a 31st-place starting spot for dale jr. doesn't look promising for drew, but you have to remember that the 8 car went to victory lane from 30th spot in 2004 at the night race in bristol.

the standings.
after round 4 of 36 (Kobalt Tools 500, Atlanta)

1. 35 points - trevor sager (1 pick 'em win, 2 Top-10s, 1 top 5)
2. 25 points - geoffrey miller (2 - Top 5s)
2. 10 points - drew owen (1 - Top 5, 1 - Top 10)
