I have to congratulate Mark Martin for his win in Phoenix, he has been right there all year and finally took the checkered. The guy is a class act. It's great to see the old man get it done early on in the year by winning from the pole. Awesome job!

Mark Martin, Kurt Busch, Dale Jr, Tony Stewart are my fantasy picks for Dega this weekend. I know Kyle Busch does not fair well at Talladega except for his win last year. Used up Jeff and Jimmy until race 19 of the year. My race team is ranked 60th of 2,540 on foxsports.
