My 2 Cents: Remember, drivers who were open wheelers do well at road racing in NASCAR, but road course ringers usually don't. My no-brainer pick this week is a tie between Jimmie Johnson and Kurt Busch. My next picks are Clint Bowyer, Kasey Kahne, Tony Stewart and Jamie McMurray. I'm rounding out my team with Matt DiBenedetto and Ryan Blaney.
My Final Four: Kurt Busch, Tony Stewart, Clint Bowyer and Ryan Blaney.
Points to Ponder:
- Tony Stewart and Kyle Busch have the most wins among active drivers at Sonoma with two each.
- Six different manufacturers have won in the series at Sonoma, led by Chevrolet with 10 victories, followed by Ford with seven, Toyota (four), Dodge (three), Pontiac (two) and Buick (one).
- The Coors Light pole position is the most proficient starting position in the field, producing more wins (five) than any other starting position at Sonoma Raceway.
- Almost three-quarters (19 of 27) NASCAR Sprint Cup races at Sonoma have been won from a top-10 starting position.
