Tony Schumacher |
Could this be the surge team has been desperately seeking? Only Massey has been better last two races, but Army has tools to continue upward swing |
5 to 2 |
Del Worsham |
Desert Stormer needs to reverse recent trend, too soon to panic. No surprise. |
7 to 2 |
Spencer Massey |
Perhaps the Vanguard of the New Breed? Hard to argue with last two efforts - the man on the move! |
9 to 2 |
Antron Brown |
Slight hiccup offset win at Atlanta. Looking like a long-term threat for all the gold. |
5 to 1 |
Doug Kalitta |
Has the look of a contender, just needs the slightest of breaks. Money play for solid longshot players |
6 to 1 |
Larry Dixon Jr |
Been mired in second round of late. Wouldn't take much improvement to advance up the rankings |
7 to 1 |
Terry McMillen |
Gator Guy has been making some noise lately. Needs to go past second round to continue move into contender status. |
8 to 1 |
Brandon Bernstein |
Copart can not be happy! Neither can anybody named Bernstein. Team must do better, no excuses accepted. |
10 to 1 |
Shawn Langdon |
Up down, up down, out early. It's a cruel, cruel world on the NHRA tour. Get tough or get used to the beatings! |
15 to 1 |
Morgan Lucas |
Won't be in the top ten much longer if he doesn't make a move. Will he? |
20 to 1 |
FUNNY CAR |
|
|
Mike Neff |
Lost in finals again, so frustration factor is in play. To be the man, ya have to beat the man! So do it already! |
5 to 2 |
Robert Hight |
Most recent winner main threat to Neff and others. Poised to go on win streak. |
5 to 2 |
Jack Beckman |
Has the best "last two" results. Would be a legendary force, in a non-Force world. |
9 to 2 |
Cruz Pedregon |
Last outing had to disappoint CP. He's working a tough 'hood, and it just keeps getting tougher all the time. |
5 to 1 |
Matt Hagan |
One of many finding tough sledding against the top tier. How do you beat Machine? |
6 to 1 |
Johnny Gray |
Doing well in his return to nitro racing. Just not well enough to beat the top dogs. |
7 to 1 |
Ron Capps |
Showing signs of returning to form. has a lot of ground to make up, but represents live long shot that can do. |
8 to 1 |
Bob Tasca III |
Another who shows signs of advancing. But then he regresses. Like the new body tech, though. |
10 to 1 |
Jeff Arend |
Team must have mixed emotions,given the venue. It will either be a distraction or a rallying point. Best wishes, guys. |
12 to 1 |
John Force |
Champ having his problems of late. Transition into entertainment mogul may be distracting him a bit. |
15 to 1 |
PRO STOCK |
|
|
Jason Line |
OK, they are officially back. Never mind Shane Gray's nice win, the juggernaut is poised - to destroy. |
8 to 5 |
Greg Anderson |
See above. REALLY! And get out of the way! |
8 to 5 |
Greg Stanfield |
Hyperbole aside, main threat to Anderson and Line. It's a hard-knock life. |
5 to 2 |
Allen Johnson |
Where did he come from? Where was he? Can he keep up recent uptick? |
9 to 2 |
Roger Brogdon |
Still plenty of doubters out there. Recent results say dismiss at your own peril. Upset special. |
5 to 1 |
Mike Edwards |
Slight regression last out offset nice run at Atlanta. One of many who can do if top two stumble. |
6 to 1 |
Vince Nobile |
Early season success story off pace last two outings. Not too late for Jersey Boy to get it together |
8 to 1 |
THE FIELD |
Ya just never know who is going to rise up and strike a blow against The Machine. |
10 to 1 |
PRO MOD |
|
|
Ed Hoover |
Pro Mod OG finally back on top of the heap. Don't bet he won't stay right there for quite a spell. |
2 to 1 |
Khalid Balooshi |
Done very little wrong so far, though last out was not up to snuff. Take at own risk. |
5 to 2 |
Rickie Smith |
Still a tick off the top two or three. Another not to be taken lightly. |
7 to 2 |
Mike Castellana |
Last out was more in line with expectations.Would be no surprise, at a price! |
9 to 2 |
Troy Coughlin |
Probably wondering why he hasn't won yet. All of us are, to be honest. |
5 to 1 |
Danny Rowe |
Missing in action last out. If he shows, will have an impact, for sure. |
6 to 1 |
Melanie Troxel |
Made some progress at Atlanta. Would be the people's choice with improved perfomance. |
7 to 1 |
Scott Ray |
Been in Pro Mod since the early days. Hardcore racers can do when they make field. |
