2014 Pure Michigan 400: Stats avancées (In english) (13/08/2014)
Un bon prono ne prenant pas qu'en compte les stats, mais aussi les périodes "chat noir" de certains pilotes ou de probables faits de course, et il devient dur de pronostiquer. Le choix de la rédac? Greg Biffle, le meilleur ici. Attention à Jimmie Johnson qui souhaiterait refouler la Victory Lane, et à Jeff Gordon ou Brad Keselowski, très rapides cet été. (Photo P.
