The 11 had a faster car last year and JGR STEUGGLED ALL SEASON. I think the 18 will have a lot of speed.

It's pretty awesome! My only concern (i think someone mentioned it in the chat last night) is that Nascar proved tonight that they have no shame manipulating the outcome of a race to help a fan favorite. Will they be given the opportunity to do for Gordon like they did for Jr.? But either way, The 4 has beaten the 24, 18, and 78 on pretty much a weekly basis this year, and that's good for us! I suspect Rodney and the 4 Team have been preparing for Martinsville for months. I totally expect they will bring their "A" Game and a fast car. That is what will be required to hold off the 24, 18, and the 78. Anything less will make for a long tough day. I am curious what transmission they are now running: a Jericho or Richmond Gear? |

It was already mentioned above, but....
Chassis Information: Chassis No. 4-945: Kevin Harvick will pilot the No. 4 Budweiser/Jimmy John’s Chevrolet SS built on Chassis No. 4-945 in the 400-mile NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race Sunday at Homestead-Miami (Fla.) Speedway. Built new in 2015, Chassis No. 4-945 made its Sprint Cup debut at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway in September, where it started third, led 44 laps and finished fifth. Its second appearance of the season came in the Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in October, where it started 11th and finished second.

The 4 team went and tested at Homestead earlier this year but if I recall it rained and I'm not sure they ever got on the track.
Also Kevin was part of the winning team of the Tonight Show 500 yesterday -

Didn't they find the splitters to be off again last week?

I don't know if it was the splitters again but yes they failed pre-race inspection twice at Phoenix.

The 18 and the 24 one of the 2 will win the title.

The 18 and 4 both have three warnings so if they get another one before qualifying they'd get to pick pit stalls last no matter where they qualify.

Rodney did say they have been on the 3rd warning for a while now so hopefully no issues

First off... Bieber!!!! Really! I though he crawled back to Canada and found a rock to hide under! Being known for street racing while under the influence is a awesome personality to pair a NASCAR driver! Way to go! Can I throw-up now?
As for the predictions...
Kyle: Kyles advantage came when NASCAR was tweaking the rules. I am not an engine guy or do I really have a leg to stand on... it just a theory... but I think the Toyota power/torque curve favored the high drag rules. I think it is very noticeable in the Xfinity series where the cars are full throttle and it just seems that the Toyotas have more torque at the higher rpms. The current rules favor the Chevy/Ford configuration. I think that is why JGR has started playing with the splitters. Kyle will drive and place well but he'll have to work at it.
Martin: BIG UNKNOWN... Personally, I think he will falter. He'll have a fast car, but somewhere he'll get behind (slow stop) and it will be hard for him to get back in the fight.
Jeff: Hendrick has 2 types of motors this week. 1 for HMS and 1 for everyone else. Jeff's motor will be stout. Kevin and Martin will be a tick off on the power/torque that Jeff will have. Don't get me wrong, They'll have what they have been getting all year long.
Kevin: He'll have to beat Jeff on setup and a perfect run... I think Jeffs car will be running really really good! I just think Kevin has the advantage because he has been so fast with the same equipment as HMS.
Side note: I want Kevin to win the Championship...But if he finishes 2nd, he'll set the modern day record for 2nd place finishes in a season. So Jimmy can win this... with Kevin coming in 2nd AGAIN... win the title and set the record for 2nd place finishes! LOL! Better yet... Phoenix is know as Kevins House, let make Homestead know as Kevins winter house!
