Auto Club Speedway | Sunday, Feb. 24, 2008 - 4:00 PM ET

Pole Winner: Jimmie Johnson

Here are my fantasy five drivers for the Auto Club 500 on Sunday.

Jimmie Johnson
Jeff Gordon
Matt Kenseth
David Ragan
Brian Vickers

I am not sure on who I am going to bet on this weekend, but I am sure Jimmie Johnson will be in the 3.

Who does everyone like?

[hawk 5]

JJ has the highest average finish of anybody that has run here. Kenseth has won the last 2 years at this track in Feb.

The race is finally getting ready to start, but Michael Waltrip's car was leaking oil already. So they will have to clean that up first. Ugh.

[diogee]

No crap I'm ready to go racing

[gummo]

You can count on it to start raining again by the time they clean it up.

[diogee]

Yeah with the way the weekend has gone so far and weather not far away.

[onlooker]

Matt Kenseth already a lap down, because of paper debris covering the radiator vent.

[ranzzzz]

This race could be a complete crapshoot with Hamlin alleging he hit a slick spot and shot up the track and Mears wrecking. I'm glad I put $5 on Robby at 200-1, if everyone but him wrecks I'll look like a genius.

Truth be told, rain is on the forecast and I don't think they'll get this race official. Plus Jr. is out so they will do all they can to make sure it's postponed

[diogee]

I have yet to see a race postponed after it has started and not make it to halfway...I take it they just start over from ranzzzz comment?

Guess they'll just keep racing even it's pouring in the middle of the race. Maybe they can start putting on some threaded tires.

[ranzzzz]

Threaded tires time! LOL

[diogee]

Bust'em out

[ranzzzz]

How many drivers will finish the race?

5? or 10? take a guess.

[onlooker]

Rain delay again, with I think 86 laps complete. They need 125 in for it to be official.

[diogee]

Yeah I am not sure they will get this one back...has to suck really bad for everyone out there driving wrecked cars knowing that they have to get back into a junk car tomorrow.

[onlooker]

I sure hope Jeff Gordon's car comes out bad later tonight or tomorrow. That thing has been a rocket when they have been able to race.

[diogee]

Yeah he has been almost untouchable...I'm sure you will take a 2nd for your fantasy team with Kenseth winning

[onlooker]

Oh yes. But Kenseth hasn't been doing to good. I also have Jimmie and Edwards. So either one of those three will be nice.

[ChuteBoxe]

This has been the worst race in a long time. It has actually made me physically exhausted. I dozed off twice. I can only imagine how some of the drivers with that nasty flu bug must feel.

[diogee]

Tell me about it chute...not sure why they even started the race with the track oozing. Of course I am against that since I am a huge Jr fan.

[onlooker]

NASCAR is saying they may get a restart in at 12AM ET/9PM PT. The rain has moved out and none in the forecast for the night. So we might get this thing finished tonight.

[diogee]

Wow...sucks for the fans at the race. At least they are going to try getting this thing in...they have enough trouble keeping fans in the seats as it is.

[onlooker]

they have enough trouble keeping fans in the seats as it is.

Are you sure about that? It always seems like the tracks are sold out for all the races.

[ranzzzz]

They still hope to bring the race back by midnight ET. Are they serious or not? Im going to hit the sack.....

[diogee]

I'm not sure that they have sold the place out since getting two races...I may be wrong but it seemed to be a big problem the last couple of years.

[onlooker]

Racing starts in about a hour, making it 1AM ET/10PM PT. The NASCAR weather radar shows no more rain coming. They have to dry the track, Again.

[diogee]

This is turning out like the first race I ever watched that didn't end until 3 AM

[diogee]

Now 2AM Est

[onlooker]

Now 2AM Est

It is only after 10PM here.
