Looks like 11 potential drivers for the podium. To tough to call.

[Danica Davison]

Field definitely seems smaller than in recent years, I guess due to runoffs going west and people running NASA instead.

 

My podium picks if neither Buras or Haldeman race:

 

One Podium:

Drago

Pardus

Steyn

 

Second Podium:

Drago

Pardus

Burdzy

[davew]

I have about 10 more customers planning on running, including Danny Bender who won last year and finished second in 2016.

 

Last 2 years Drago, Bender and Burdzy have come out of turn 14 as top 3 cars. Leader at 14 has not won the race!! I expect another great race.

 

I predict the same top 3 with Haldeman as the dark horse.

You underestimate the northerners! 

 

I say Bender wins one of the days

Well he wasn't on the entry list yet, silly goose

[LarryKing]

 

Well he wasn't on the entry list yet

He's so fast he wins races he doesn't even enter.

Jim's turn to break a subframe.

Win on Sunday

[SaulSpeedwell]

My money is on Rudy Wopat in the overdog 1.6!

[chris haldeman]

Drago can have Sunday. I am winning Saturday

[Bench Racer]

That is so wrong. Rudy does the best he can and enjoys racing. 

 

I'd say there was nothing wrong with the two 1.6's in the top 10 at Mid Ohio last weekend. Sommers did well at COTA earlier in the year, a bit of controversy included. 

[Jim Drago]

Drago can have Sunday. I am winning Saturday

I'm good with that plan

[BNaumann]

Drago can have Sunday. I am winning Saturday

There's no champagne on Saturday. Ask Spencer.
