SPEED FREAKS

Michael Mcdowell and Christopher Bell? Which first-timer you like at Homestead?

KEN’S CALL: Chase Briscoe has won Homestead in Trucks and Xfinity. Keep that hood buckled down, and he’s got a shot on Sunday. DEAN’S DIRT: Tyler Reddick finished fourth in this sucker last season. I’m guessing they saved that engine.

How you like the Daytona Road Course now?

KEN’S CALL: It quickly grew on me and I rescind my request to run a shorter version of the course. DEAN’S DIRT: As long as we bunch ‘em up with 10 to go every race, it’ll be just fine.
