Several get first starts with new teams at Atlanta...who will finish the highest?

Several drivers will get their first starts this weekend with new teams at Atlanta:

7 - Kevin Conway (made a S&P run at Bristol, but first real race with team)

13 - Casey Mears - Geico gets a new lizzard behind the wheel

36 - JJ replaces Blaney at TBR

38- Dave Blaney gets a turn in the FRM circle

46- Michael McDowell replaces JJ in the 46 car with new EGR engines and equipment

55- Bliss with Prism

Only Kevin Conway is locked in the field, the others must first make the race on speed. Good chance some of these guys won't make the field.

I have to go with either Conway or Blaney. If Blaney makes the race, he will be out trying to prove he deserves a Cup ride. Blaney hasn't raced a full race alot lately, so I'll go with Kevin.

Wait thought all knew Bristol would be a S&P for both cars at Bristol.But then Conway does a radio interview(announcement)and claims that thier was mechanical failure.Get used to the spin.

They have to give NASCAR a reason they pulled off the track, thus the spin.

Wouldn't surprise me. But if he does get in, he should have an acceptable run for that car/team.

If he does DNQ, they're gonna look pretty stupid for moving Papis out...

have to go with Blaney, if he gets anything half decent for FRM, he'll be tough to finish in front of. he's a veteran driver won't take long to shake the rust off, he'll make the field.

Conway will extenze the lead in owner points as far as the top 35 goes....I'll say at least 25th if he runs the whole race....Miles is gonna really hook the car up.......
