These guys are strong @ Pocono,but the COT is changing everything this year.
Plenty of examples show you that.Look at how poor the #48 was at LV after being so dominate.The #24 team has no clue about how to get to the front.
Hamlin is sick at this track,but he has been so average of late.
EDWARDS IS NOT STRONG AT POCONO.14th and 21st last year. 25th and 39th in 2006. He did finish 1st and 4th in 2005,but the Ford's ran great that year.Fords finished 2,3,4,and 7 in standings that year.
Doesn't mean he won't be this year though with the COT,but past is not great.
You gotta have him though.
Stewart seems to be getting stronger everytime out and is just having bad luck.
One thing I can tell you is the Ford's have not done well here in the last 4 races.
Only Kenseth a 5th and a 9th. Biffle a 6th. No other Top 10 finishers in those 4 races.
Chevy has been strong with a Dodge here and there,but who knows with Toyota in the mix now.
My top guys this weekend are Smoke,Hamlin,Kyle Busch. Two sleepers this week are Junior and Bowyer.
Couple guys I expect to show well are Montoya and Blaney around the 10-15 area.

I like the #20 and the #2 to be strong this week. Both have success at Pocono. The last 5 events here Kurt Busch has finished 1st twice and 2nd twice while Stewart has 5 top 10's. Pretty decent odds on Stewart at 9-1 and great odds on Kurt Busch at 20-1.
Also, both tested at Pocono on May 27-28 so that should be helpful.

Good luck guys......I'll be at the track today...waking up in 5 hours to go up...track is 30 mins from me....my old man travels the circuit and is a vendor...going up to help him out this weekend....
i cant say this is an exciting race b/c normally the cars up front run away from the get go......even though edwards has finished great recently he is still a car that is tough up here, along with the others I mentioned.....I'm pulling for Jr...cuz that helps sales at the store.....
