The Likely Suspects: When pondering your picks this week think flat and short track greats, then cross reference with Hendrick Motorsports and Roush Fenway driver rosters. For good measure check out loop data for Richmond International Raceway which is the most similar to Phoenix. So Sunday's likely suspects include Greg Biffle, Carl Edwards, Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, as well as Kyle Busch and Mark Martin.
My 2 Cents: My no-brainer pick is a three-way tie between Denny Hamlin, Jimmie Johnson, and Mark Martin. My next picks are: Greg Biffle; Kyle Busch; and Ryan Newman. I will round out my team with A.J. Allmendinger and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Kevin Harvick tends to run well at Phoenix, so he is definitely worth a look for your fantasy team this week.
