The Likely Suspects: Some drivers have racing styles that are well suited for short track racing. These drivers should really shine at Martinsville: Greg Biffle, Kevin Harvick, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart, Martin Truex Jr., Denny Hamlin, Clint Bowyer, Jimmie Johnson, Ryan Newman, and Carl Edwards.

My 2 Cents: My top shelf guys these week will be selected from this intimate grouping: Jeff Gordon, Denny Hamlin, Jimmie Johnson, and Kevin Harvick. I'm learning toward Denny Hamlin and Jeff Gordon though. Dale Earnhardt Jr., Clint Bowyer, Ryan Newman, and Jamie McMurray are due for some serious consideration. But don't count out Joey Logano who races well at Martinsville. Brian Vickers and David Reutimann should have decent runs this week.
