The Likely Suspects:  New Hampshire Motor Speedway is a flat intermediate track that races much like a short track such as Richmond International Raceway and Martinsville Speedway, but it is most like Phoenix International Raceway. This week's likely suspects will be those who have mastered both types of tracks, including Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch, Denny Hamlin, Ryan Newman and Clint Bowyer.

My 2 Cents: Track position is king at this short race. Use the final lineup as a guide when doing final picks, and when in doubt cross-reference by past performance at Richmond, Phoenix and Martinsville.

My no-brainer pick this week is a three-way tie among Jimmie Johnson, Clint Bowyer and Ryan Newman. Denny Hamlin should be a tempting pick as well. I'm rounding out my team with Kurt Busch, Joey Logano, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. and AJ Allmendinger.
