How many are worried about Denny Knees giving out.

Cory J. Bonini, at 11:24 on 02/02/10, says:
Ray - There is some concern, sure, but everything we're aware suggests he'll be fine. They'll likely brace his knee and attrition is the only thing I'd worry about. While not the same injury, Jeff Gordon has driven for some time with a bad back, and anyone with such a problem can relate to how much pain he probably endures each race. I expect Hamlin to be fine.

Ray Miller, at 10:28 on 02/03/10, says:
positions 29 to 37. I don't know Conway or sponsoship situations. I gotta pick a couple of these. any strong info if ya had pick and hold em?

Cory J. Bonini, at 12:43 on 02/03/10, says:
Ray - I suggest checking out our driver analysis for these guys. That may help you formulate a better opinion of these low-tier drivers. Personally, I'll say our ranking of Conway is probably a bit too optimistic.

Are you going to update these rankings before each race based on qualifying and previous race results?

Cory J. Bonini, at 09:55 on 02/10/10, says:
We publish individual rankings for each race. Our Daytona rankings will be up today.

josh, at 08:13 on 02/12/10, says:
Labonte expects to run fulltime, with the PC provisional he should make all races, but only has sponsorship currently for 12. Yet you have him ranked quite low. He should be much higher.
8
hayden, at 08:14 on 02/12/10, says:
Max Papis should also make the ranking, he has plans to run 20 races, should make 12-15 putting him higher then alot of your lower guys.
