After going winless in all of 2007 and so far this season, did
Kasey Kahne break the ice after his fan vote and win at the
2008 Sprint All-Star race? The differences in the non-points
event and the Coca-Cola 600 is vast, but Kahne ran well on the
mile and a half track and swept both Cup races there in 2006.
Was this the momentum they needed to get back to their
previous success?

Biggest story, Gibb's motors failing. The
600 is going to be very interesting.

If there is a rule change about the
sideways tracking cars that will be the big
story. Nascar already said they weren't
going to mess with the teams trying new
things within the rules and if they change
their minds it will just be sad.

Carl Edwards just resigned a multi-year deal with Roush-Fenway and already
questions are stirring about who his sponsor will be.
It was reported that the exclusive contract negotiation period between Roush
and Office Depot had been allowed to expire, but since the contract between
Roush and Edwards just occurred Roush wasn't expecting any sponsor to
commit until they knew who the driver would be for the no. 99 car in 2009 and
beyond.

Some teams in NASCAR’s opinion might have taken the rear housing
modifications just a little bit too far at the All-Star event, the teams are
expecting a mandate of sorts to be handed down from the governing
body limiting the adjustments.

Just announced 05-21-08 9:40 am eastern time. Aflac will be the full time primary
sponsor for the no. 99 car driven by Carl Edwards in what is labeled the typical
'multi-year deal'. Office Depot is officially out and will possibly be seeking a team to
sponsor for 2009.

After a lot of attention was drawn to the no. 77 car of Sam Hornish, Jr., not only for it’s
appearance on the track running sideways, but also for the difficulty the NASCAR officials
had getting the car on the scales, a rule is expected.

Joe Gibbs Racing and their engine failures in the no. 18 car of Kyle Busch and
the no. 11 car of Denny Hamlin during the All-Star Race and Tony Stewart’s
Home depot sponsored Toyota in practice. The break downs were simply
explained as a rocker arm failures on all three cars and yet it was admitted by
Kyle Busch that “they were trying some things”.

The other reports were saying that this was JGR’s first attempt at running their own
shop built motor and not one directly from Toyota. Either way it will be interesting to see
their engine durability and speed at the Coca-Cola 600.

What will be the best strategy of the weekend at the Coca-Cola 600?
After seeing the problems with engine durability that some of the
drivers encountered will the winner come again this year from a team
with a conservative set-up. Will we see teams gambling to try to get
their first win of the season and will we see any shake ups due to
accidents or attrition?

In the past two seasons there were only one position each year that dropped in/out of
the chase from the way the points were set after Charlotte. That makes ’big picture’
racing even more important than ever this weekend.
