Another Non-Points Win for Junior - Fantasy Insight All Star Event
5/14/08: SOZ Studios, MI - By Dennis Michelsen "DMIC" (RaceTalkRadio.com)
Junior Nation can drink that last beer instead of heaving it on the track this weekend! Dale Earnhardt Jr should win his third non-points event of the 2008 season. All the stars are aligned for another memorable all-star event. What could be a bigger story than Dale Earnhardt Jr passing Kyle Busch for the win? While the points' race winless drought is not likely to end in the World 600, Lowes Motor Speedway should be a great place for Dale to get back to Victory Lane after some disappointing races in the last few weeks. But don't worry Junior Nation, Little E will get that points win soon too! Enjoy the All Star weekend!

Check out Rowdy's new FREE Fantasy Race Game and listen to my analysis and picks every Wednesday!
Last Week's Results: Darlington (43rd, 2nd, 37th)
My top pick Greg Biffle set a track record on pole day and was the dominant car in the race too. Unfortunately equipment failures ended his day early. Carl Edwards was another strong pick but I missed on Newman and Kahne. Harvick had a poor finish as expected.
Showdown Winner: David Ragan
Youngster is easily the most improved driver in 2008
Showdown Second Place: Travis Kvapil
Should have a strong run
Win: Dale Earnhardt Jr
Another non-points win
Place: Carl Edwards
Best on speedways this season
Show: Kyle Busch
Impossible to pick against this guy
