The Likely Suspects: These drivers have mastered the Tricky Triangle with lots of finesse: Jimmie Johnson, Denny Hamlin, Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin, Tony Stewart, Ryan Newman, Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth, Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch. 

My 2 Cents: My no-brainer pick is a tie this week. Both Jimmie Johnson and Mark Martin get that dubious distinction. Kurt Busch has a respectable average at this track so he'll be on my team this week along with Clint Bowyer, Ryan Newman, Tony Stewart, Sam Hornish Jr. and Bobby Labonte. Joey Logano and Dale Earnhardt Jr. are also worthy of consideration for this race.
