The Likely Suspects: Welcome to the Contender Round! Look for these drivers to shine this week at Kansas Speedway: Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick,  Kasey Kahne, Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth.

My 2 Cents: My no-brainer pick this week is a tie between Kevin Harvick and Jeff Gordon. Harvick is last year's winner and has had great speed all year. Gordon, last week's winner, has had a tremendous year, and momentum is definitely on his side. If you are low on Gordon starts, then Matt Kenseth is also a fine pick, and Jimmie Johnson should also be a good pick (emphasis on "should!"). 

My next picks are: Carl Edwards, Tony Stewart, Greg Biffle and Denny Hamlin. If you are concerned about Biffle's lack of speed, swap him out for Paul Menard, who has been running well. I will complete my team with Danica Patrick and Austin Dillon. However, if you have Kyle Larson starts left, pull Dillon and go with Larson.
