The picks of Schnapf at Haubstadt and Hopkins at Lincoln Park were good ones, because AJ has won many races at Putnamville and Stephen just seems to get better, every time that you go down to TSS. And got his first win there, this year. But the one I want up for consideration is Joe Stornetta, Jr. Quite a few times that I've seen this driver this season, I was left with the impression that this is a guy that's on the doorstep of grabbing himself a really big win. And once that happens, you might as well get used to it.

The key to any of the drivers breaking through though is that ability to knock down a great qualifying lap. Qualifying is so crucial in a USAC event. Because you just can't spot KT Jr., Tyler Courtney, Chris Windom, etc. 4-5-6 rows in the starting grid and expect to beat them.
