SPEED FREAKS

Q: After Cole Custer, who’s next to break the seal?

GODSPEAK (Godwin Kelly): I had my money on Tyler Reddick as the breakout rookie, so I’m sticking with my pick all the way to victory lane.

KEN’S CALL (Ken Willis): Maybe Tyler Reddick or Bubba Wallace at Daytona or Talladega, but other than that, I don’t see another first-time winner for a while. Then again, I didn’t see Custer winning.

Which Bristol will we get at the AllStar Race?

GODSPEAK: The first two segments will be mild. The last two segments will be wild. This is a good race for drivers to distribute pent-up paybacks.

KEN’S CALL: I’m thinking chaotic Bristol. The guys haven’t raced in front of fans in so long, it’s bound to jack ’em up.

Godwin’s picks for All-Star race

Winner: Kyle Busch

Rest of top 5: Joey Logano, Martin Truex Jr., Chase Elliott, Jimmie Johnson

First one out: Cole Custer

Don’t be surprised if: Busch and Logano are beating fenders at the finish line.
