This is the first street race for NASCAR. What can we expect? There are many unknowns. The 2.2 mile track features multiple tight turns and corners, a race build unfamiliar to drivers comfortable with typical oval-shaped layouts with a couple of traditional road courses at Sonoma and Watkins Glenn.
Christopher Bell said "Yea, I think it could be a race of survival,I think everyone in the industry is thinking that way right now ... there's just no margin for error."
Joey Logano replied with a hearty laugh, "It'll be a different animal, a ferocious one for sure."
Allmendinger's takeaway? "What lies ahead will be a challenge of skill and aggression for every competitor. Looking at the race track, it’s very technical, But I like the way – at least driving around in a car … there’s a lot of sections that are super wide, which are not what you would expect from a street course, but there’s also a lot of real tight corners as well."

This is the first ever NASCAR street race so we don't have a lot to compare to make our picks. I am taking a chance with Shane van Gisbergen. This is his first NASCAR Cup race and is racing for Trackhouse Racing. But he probably has more experience in street racing than any other driver in this week's race. His times in both practice and qualifying was very good. He is a three time champion in AU Supercars. His records in Australia and New Zealand look like he is a good pick if he doesn't forget which side the steering wheel is on.
Jenson Button, from England, also looks like a good pick. He placed 18th in this year's Circuit of The Americas and his numbers in practice and qualifying were good. Most of his past experience has been Formula 1. He was one of my top calculated picks.

Jenson Button #15 would have been a good Ford pick.
