What really surprises me is that there are only six Nextel Cup racers racing at Mexico City.Nascar should limit the number of Sprint Cup Racers allowed in Busch races to 5,depending on whos quailifing laps are the best.Even if theres 10 Cup drivers that want to race,Nascar must only let 5 enter because it will make the sport better,I mean who wouldnt want to see Landon Cassil or Kevin Lepage get a victory?The only bad part is the sponsership and money aspects.Many people wouldnt watch if Stewart,Busch,or Edwards werent in the race,they would say it was to boring because the drivers didnt do to well,and Nascar would lose some money but it still would benifit the sport in many other ways.
Now for the predictions
Patrick Carpentier will win the race.
Sam Hornish Jr. will get a top 5 finish
Clint Bowyer will finish outside of the top 10
Erik Darnell will finish second
Scott Wimmer will finish in the top 10
Max Papis will finish in the top 15
Kyle Busch will finish third
Carl Edwards will not lead a lap and finish in 9th
What are your predictions?

Report Offensive CommentI don't care for road course races no matter where they are but especially in Mexico. I think it is too costly to go there and NASCAR belongs ONLY in our Country. Of course, Mr. France and NASCAR beg to differ with me because all they are looking at is the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, as per usual.
Although I did not watch the race, I was extremely disappointed with the results. While I know "Shrub" can drive a race car, it's his attitude that turns me off. However, I was THRILLED to see that David Reutimann is coming home with a Top 12 finish !!! YAY "Reuti" !!!
