It's time for our Brickyard 400 pick'em (drivers, lane, racing, running)

[USNRET04]

After watching all the hype on ESPN about the Brickyard 400, I'm actually excited to watch it on Sunday.

Goodyear has brought a great tire to the track. Should be in the low 80's for race, so that's fairly cool, which means fast racing.

The drivers who go first in qualifying will have an edge with the cooler track on Saturday.

I'm going pick my driver Jeff Gordon to win. He knows how important it is to get a few more wins in before the Chase for the bonus points.

I'm not expecting any major (restrictor type) crashes, although double-sided restarts into turn 1 should be interesting.

Tony Stewart will be a huge contender though and would love to put the 14 (AJ Foyt's old number) back into victory lane but this time as a stock car.

I got the 18.................shocker ain't it?!!

I'd like to see Gordon win, but for this race I am going to pick Stewart. He has been running very strong lately. Mark Martin has been incredible lately too.

Should be fun if the new Goodyears hold up this year!
