The Likely Suspects: If you follow this column in any regularity you know that short track racing is a favorite of mine. The action is non-stop and frenzied. However, in order to win you have to finish, so my fantasy picks fall in two categories: powerfully patient and downright crazy. Focus on these drivers this week: Jimmie Johnson, the Busch brothers, Matt Kenseth, Greg Biffle, Brad Keselowski and dark horse Paul Menard.

My 2 Cents: My no-brainer pick this week is a two-way tie between Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch with Brad Keselowski nipping at their heels. The powerfully patient Matt Kenseth is also a fine choice. I will round out my team with Greg Biffle, Paul Menard, Denny Hamlin, Austin Dillon and Kyle Larson. If you feel like Ryan Newman has some momentum coming off a strong finish last week you can put him in your lineup and pull Paul Menard.
