The Likely Suspects: When the laps wind down, look for these drivers to be running upfront: Greg Biffle, Matt Kenseth, Clint Bowyer, Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin and Jimmie Johnson.

My 2 Cents: If you want to blindly pick this week, you can't go wrong selecting your drivers from either the Roush Fenway or Hendrick Motorsports garages. My "no brainer" pick is a a three-way tie between Matt Kenseth, Greg Biffle and Clint Bowyer. Bowyer has taken a firm second spot in the standings despite being winless. This race could reveal his true Chase chances.

My next picks are Carl Edwards, Mark Martin and Martin Truex Jr. I will round out my team with Austin Dillon, filling in for Tony Stewart this week, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Enjoy the race!
