Endurance is Key at 2008 Coca-Cola 600
Thursday May 22, 2008
This Sunday night Lowes Motor Speedway will host the longest race on the NASCAR Sprint Cup schedule. The 2008 Coca-Cola 600 features 600 long miles on the fast 1.5 mile quad-oval. Endurance is a big player in this race. Rarely does the leader of the race at 500 miles hold on to claim the win.
Last week's All-Star race told us who is likely to be fast this weekend. Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle and Kasey Kahne were each fast for 25 laps. However, which team can combine speed with reliability and avoid the mechanical and motor failures which will ruin your shot at victory?

Rowdy Busch was strong for part of the race last week but I think he pushes it too hard to last 600 miles. All the Toyota’s are strong, but will they last? I hope so. If I were wagering though, I’d put my money on JJ.
