The Likely Suspects: The 12 Chase drivers will definitely be featured on the post-race highlight reel, but don't count out the non-Chase spoilers who need to shine for their team owners, sponsors, and, of course, the fans. Look for the following drivers to run well this week: Tony Stewart, Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Clint Bowyer, Kevin Harvick, and Matt Kenseth.
My 2 Cents: This race should be a good indication of which Chase drivers have a fire in their bellies and which don't. As with any of the Chase races the non-Chase drivers are sure to make things interesting, so hold onto your belts this will definitely be an interesting 10 weeks. My no-brainer pick this week is Tony Stewart. He not only runs well here, but as the 2011 champion he needs to demonstrate that his lack-luster and inconsistent regular season is not an indication of his determination or the team's ability to produce good finishes.
I will be rounding out my team with Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin, Clint Bowyer, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kasey Kahne, Sam Hornish Jr., and Aric Almirola. Enjoy the race!
