And now, the moment some of you have been waiting for -- the predictions for the top 10 finishers at Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The forecasts bounced back last week by going 7-3, leaving us with a season record of 73-77. Let's see if we can reach .500 before the 4th of July.
1. Jimmie Johnson. Last week's win at Sonoma was his fourth of the season. Everyone should have a down season like this.
2. Joey Logano. Last year the youngster won his first race of his Sprint Cup career on this track. This year he's got six top 10 finished in points races.
3. Kyle Busch. It's safe to say he's comfortable on this track. On Saturday, he won the Nationwide Series race and set the series record for most career laps led.
4. Kasey Kahne. He took the pole last week, and he's on the front row again this week. If he can keep the car on the track, he can finish in the top 10.
5. Denny Hamlin. Yes, he's starting in the middle of the pack, but maybe making the People's Pitstop lineup for the first time this season will give him the boost he needs to get up front.
6. Greg Biffle. It took him only 16 points races to rack up 10 finishes in the top 10...
7. Kevin Harvick. ...tying him for the lead with this driver.
8. Kurt Busch. But he's right behind them with nine, and he's starting third today.
9. Jeff Burton. Longtime readers of the People's Pigskin will recall that he leads active NASCAR drivers with four victories on this track. There's no reason he can't make it five.
10. Juan Pablo Montoya. Yes, we're using a repeat pick for our medium to long shot. Why not? He finished in the top 10 on the road course in Sonoma (expected), and he's on the pole this week (not so expected).
We'll be back with race results and fresh lineup polls. In the meantime, don't forget to vote on our pole for Miss Patrick.
