Brickyard 400 Prediction

Alright, its pole day for the Brickyard, and that means time for some predictions. Here's a few thoughts:

1. Dale Earnhardt fails to qualify in the top ten, but will finish in the top five for the race.
2. Harvick looks strong and is my pick to win the race.
3. A fan favorite wins the poll. (Stewart, Gordon, or Johnson)
4. The Brickyard will be Sam Hornish Jr's best race, as he finishes in the top ten.

What do you think? Who's gonna win the pole? Who's gonna win the race?

Sports Thoughts...the day that was May 3, 2008

Wow, it was quite a day in the world of sports. We finally find some solace in the tides at Indiana University. After dismissing three more players from the squad, the team that will be together in 2008-09 is beginning to come into focus.

Also, the Kentucky Derby was today and Big Brown delivered a win, but what a tragic end to the only philly in the race. Eight Belles finally raced with the boys, and boy did she race. Tragically, she injured her legs and was euthanized. It was a horrible scene that played out on the track.

Finally, Kyle Busch pushes Dale Jr. into the wall in NASCAR and extends Dale Jr's winless streak one more race.

Crazy times in the wide world of sports.
