When we at Predictem searched high and low for a Nascar writer/handicapper we assumed that the position would be filled by some southern "dude" who knew more about Nascar than some pit crews. To our surprise, after sorting through all the applications/interviews a "dude" named Virgina was left standing. If talkin' Nascar was a brawl, this chick would whoop some serious ass. As do her picks! Check back every weekend for winning Nascar matchup selections from one of the sports best kept secrets!
