The Likely Suspects: With three races left in the NASCAR season the championship is in a dead heat. Interestingly enough, Texas is an excellent track for Matt Kenseth and Jimmie Johnson is no slouch here either. I don't foresee any major points upsets after this race, but we may see just how inspired Jeff Gordon is after last week's win. Look for these drivers to be running up front at the close of Sunday's race: Matt Kenseth, Jimmie Johnson, Greg Biffle, Clint Bowyer, Kevin Harvick, Carl Edwards and Kyle Busch.

My 2 Cents: My no-brainer this week is a tie between Matt Kenseth and Jimmie Johnson. If you got 'em, pick 'em. I am out of Jimmie Johnson starts, so I'll go with Clint Bowyer. My next picks are Greg Biffle, Carl Edwards, Martin Truex Jr. and Ryan Newman. I will round out my team with David Ragan and Trevor Bayne. Enjoy the race!
