The Likely Suspects: Superspeedway racing should be more competitive in this new Gen 6 car, but I don't think it will greatly improve performance for drivers who haven't excelled in the past. Look for these drivers to take command during Sunday's race: Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick and Greg Biffle.
My 2 Cents: The no-brainer pick this week is Jimmie Johnson, followed closely by Kyle Busch. My next picks are Kevin Harvick, Greg Biffle, Carl Edwards and Ryan Newman. I will complete my team with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and A.J. Allmendinger. If you are feeling generous and risky, Tony Stewart usually does well here, however Stewart-Haas is having a troublesome start to the season. I'd go with Kasey Kahne for the "off the beaten path" pick - at least he has momentum on his side.
