Murphy got to Daytona Beach – over on A1A – on Wednesday. His room was waiting for him, and the Alchemist’s team was getting things sorted out at the World Center of Racing – or so the Bear thought. When the Alchemist and his team found Murphy in Atlantic Jack’s with bartender Walt, was clear something had come unglued……(to be continued – maybe)
And now, back to our story…The Bear’s still recovering from his trip to the World Center of Racing. Circumstances beyond his control kept him from his favorite places – Down the Hatch, Racing’s North Turn, and the Boondocks – to say nothing of Molly Brown’s, even though Molly’s was right around the corner from his Wednesday and Thursday night digs.

Once again the Bear’s got yer back, punters! As in previous years he’ll give you five favorites.

Rolex Recap
The top two at the Rolex once again came from Murphy’s top 5. After putting both Ganassi cars on the list (a bit of a no-brainer, even if your head is stuffed like a mattress), plus Brumos and two-time Grand Am Champion GAINSCO, the Bear mused in Paddock Poop 152 about the fifth, finally settling on the No. 9 Action Express because it fit all three Bear rools.

Murphy’s Rolex Punting Rools
For the third year, the Bear’s picking five entries likely to contend for the win in the Rolex 24 at Daytona. In 2008, his list of five captured 1, 2, and 3. Last year, they grabbed the top two steps. (more…)
