Headed to Phoenix, Need to Get After It


It's off to Phoenix this weekend for the Subway Fresh Fit 500 this Sunday. Team Nationwide for Harry definitely looks to improve on a very average 2012 debut last week.

We'll be rolling five drivers this week so hopefully, a win and a move up the standings are in order.

Here's how we'll start things:

No. 5 - Kasey Kahne (37,000) --10th
No. 14 - Tony Stewart (41,000) --2nd
No. 15 - Clint Bowyer (16,000) --16th
No. 47 - Bobby Labonte (24,000) --17th
No. 99 - Carl Edwards (42,000) --24th

Hoping for Clint Bowyer to be a solid bargain pick again this week and really looking for Bobby Labonte to continue the success he's had in his career at Phoenix. That said, it's a roll of the dice as Labonte certainly doesn't have the machine he's had with teams of the past but hey, I'm OK with rolling the proverbial dice on this past champion.

I originally had Jimmie Johnson and the no. 48 but punted him in favor of Carl Edwards after Johnson and crew chief Chad Knaus were fined, docked points and suspended (Knaus).

This post will be updated with post-race results.

Early trouble for Kasey Kahne (you prick!) and Clint Bowyer led to another bad week for Team Nationwide for Harry. Fortunately, depending on how you look at it, I had to work and didn't have to watch my team limp to a tie for last place for the week and dropping to 19th place overall. Thankfully, it's early.

Here is how we finished:

No. 5 - Kasey Kahne -- 34th
No. 14 - Tony Stewart -- 22nd
No. 15 - Clint Bowyer -- 30th
No. 47 - Bobby Labonte -- 16th
No. 99 - Carl Edwards -- 17th
