We always see a thread on here about top 3 or 5 or just predicting the winner . . . I'm asking what is your prediction for starting lineup in Saturday night's A-Main?  Here's my take on it . . . 

I'd like to do some pick 7 guys and then add up their finishing position Satruday night.  Your score is their cummulative score. For example. You pick the winner, runner up, 11th place, etc....you would then add 1+2+11+???   Low score wins. 

You could do it for Wed and Thurs nights as well.  

Man way to go against the grain. Way to be a trailblazer.  Jackass.

Ummm.. you are missing a McCarl.. When was the last time the name McCarl wasn't in the A? 

2019

I think you're "with the grain"- heck, he started 8th at the Kings Royal

I don't think it matters where he starts - maybe even the farther back, the better

Quote of the day : Brad Doty on Twitter -" for a road racer, Kyle Larson does pretty good on the dirt ovsls too"

Solid list. I'm thinking if it were mine I'd remove Dob, Balog, PPM, and Juhl and insert Heskins, Austin McCarl, Ian Madsen, and Hefertepe. Dob hasn't had laps at Knoxville in years. In years past once he stopped running Knoxville weekly it showed! Plus he can't qualify unfortunately but we know he can race. TK might make the list but he falls into that same category of a racer who usually can not qualify. Balog is a maybe but he is suited better on a shorter track. PPM and Guy look okay but have not shown the consistency I would like to see leading into this week. Juhl is a wild card. He gets better each week after getting out of the TKS car. He could easily make it over any of the four I listed. 

WASSUP!!!!      "honory enough" 

If you don't know anything about the Knoxville Nationals, it's OK to just say so. No one would think any less of you.

Your top 10 is right-on in my opinion.  I wonder if there won't be a McCarl or two, or another Aussies in the mix. Cal. is well represented.

My predicted "A" main qualifiers (with my top 5 in order):

57 - Kyle Larson, Elk Grove, CA

41 - Carson Macedo, Lemoore, CA

49 - Brad Sweet, Grass Valley, CA

15 - Donny Schatz, Fargo, ND

9 - James McFadden, Warrnambool, VIC, Au

2 - David Gravel, Watertown, CT

17 - Sheldon Haudenschild, Wooster, OH

1s - Logan Schuchart, Hanover, PA

14 - Kerry Madsen, St. Marys, NSW, AU

18 - Gio Scelzi, Fresno, CA

21 - Brian Brown, Grain Valley, MO

71 - Shane Stewart, Bixby, OK

26 - Cory Eliason, Visalia, CA

39M - Anthony Macri, Dillsburg, PA

48 - Danny Dietrich, Gettysburg, PA

24R - Rico Abreu, St. Helena, CA

39 - Daryn Pittman, Owasso, Oklahoma

11TK - Tim Kaeding, San Jose, CA

5 - Paul McMahan, Nashville, TN

3Z - Brock Zearfoss, Jonestown, PA

7 - Justin Henderson, Tea, SD

11M - Spencer Bayston, Lebanon, IN

19 - Brent Marks, Myerstown, PA

49X - Ian Madsen, St. Mary's, NSW, AU

Cool list. I would probably add Shane Stewart in there somewhere. I'm not familiar enough with Juhl and Henderson to be able to comment on them. They are Knoxville regulars, right?
