Place your bets Vegas is here

Nascar is back in action on the exciting mile and a half Las Vegas Motorspeedway in just a few short day, and I am not placing my bets on the drivers I am betting on the cars. With mediocre Daytona 500 and exciting finish of the race this past weekend at Phoenix who knows what to expect. I feel that this race is going to set the bar on what to expect from the new Generation 6 car. My expectations are that this high banked, multiple racing grove mile and a half track, is going to provide for some great side by side racing. I feel that this track is going to be great for these cars with fast straightaways long sweeping turns that do not scrub off speed. If there is a side by side battle on the last lap you can expect someone to dive bomb to the bottle while the other trys the momentum of the high side. Either way I feel this track will have what we have all been waiting for.
As far as predictions go I am going with the two drivers, my first prediction is a driver who had a rough start to the season last year but battled back at the end of the season, he sat on pole last weekend at Phoenix watch out for the Farmers Insurance #5 of Kasey Kahne, He loves these mile and a half tracks and he knows how to win on them. My second prediction is the driver that just ended a long winless drought and is making the Ford Fusion work Carl Edwards, Roush Fenway Racing is one of the best and mile and a half tracks and even though the Fords seem like they have been struggling Edwards and the 99 crew are making theirs work.
