Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup race is just minutes away, but there's still time to post some predictions for the top 10 finishers. Last week's predictions went 5-5, leaving the Internet's favorite fantasy auto racing team with a season record of 17-23.
1. Jimmie Johnson. Third starting position, three wins out of five races and FOUR STRAIGHT TITLES! What more do you need?
2. Matt Kenseth. Yes, him again. He's got five top 10 finishes in five races. That streak continues.
3. Greg Biffle. So does his.
4. Jeff Gordon. Hard to argue with his history of winning on this track.
5. Denny Hamlin. He's a Virginia kid, and he seems to be due.
6. Tony Stewart. He put himself in a position to win last week's race at Bristol.
7. Kevin Harvick. The rain gave Harvick his first pole of the season. His strong driving over the first two months of the NASCAR season put him in a position to claim that pole.
8. Dale Earnhardt Jr. Maybe last week's tirade lit a fire under Mister 88 and his crew.
9. Jamie McMurray. Last week's finish showed that the Daytona 500 was anything but a fluke.
10. Martin Truex Jr. This week's medium-to-long shot came close to getting his second top 10 finish of the season last week. Maybe the switch from wing to spoiler will get him over the hump.

Hamlin may like Virginia but his knee doesn't like racing at the moment. I think he'll struggle until he has surgery (and probably for a few weeks after).
