i look at kasey kahne. he has won three coca-cola 600s. he will be strong.rnhardt, jr., his team along with jimmie johnson will be fast sunday night. what i love most is that they have danica patrick in the field. she had a strong run yesterday. she qualified 26. she could be a player on sundayn night and maybe get a top ten finish. she has won already this year. the personalities and the fun that the drivers are having ha going to the track record speeds it's amazing. they get out of car shaking it'' the most fun i've ever had. i'm thinking i'm glad i don't't have to do that at charlotterlot motor speedway.y. >> in fox we have the in-car cameras not only do you see how fast they are going but youou watch the guys in the car driving them. the intensity of the ice, the focus it takes, the concentration. the effort, it's something you can't get in other -- any other sport. we have incredible sounds.e s the engig is turning -- engine is turning 200 miles per hour. it's as exciting as it gets. sunday night on fox. us guys and you. >> very good, gentlemen, i know
