Your Complete St. Petersburg Preview

Ack! A non-NASCAR post!

I may be looking forward to this race more so than the Texas race, and I love races at Texas. This is the first chance for the former Champ Car guys to be competitive, and I don't think that you can count any of them out. Will Power starts second, and Justin Wilson is starting third.

Helio Castroneves is going for his third straight victory at St. Petersburg, and will now actually have to deal with more than 20 cars to get to victory lane. That said, I don't like his chances for a third straight win. Give me Tony Kanaan, the polesitter, who I think is going to be this year's champion.

As for everyone's favorite, Ms. Danica, she starts 19th and has virtually no shot at winning this race unless she comes up with an off the wall pit strategy that somehow works out. My guess is that Danica is going to have to get that first win on an oval this year because she's going to be overmatched on the road courses with the influx of the new guys.

Winner: Tony Kanaan
