The action heads West this weekend, with NASCAR’s top three series and the NHRA running events on our side of the country.

California Speedway hosts the Auto Club 500 (Sprint Cup) on Sunday, and the Statler Bros 300 (Nationwide) and San Bernadino County 200 (Craftsman Trucks) on Saturday.

Phoenix, Ariz., will be the site of the Checker Schucks Kragen NHRA Nationals from Friday to Sunday .

So, here’s your chance to do a better job predicting than I did with the Daytona 500 (not that it would take much). Who do you think is going to win?
