Fearless Predictions - Pocono

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for -- well, at least some of you. Here are the predictions for the top 10 finishers for today's NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway. Last week's predictions went 4-6, leaving us with a season record of 55-65.

1. Kyle Busch. Thanks to the votes of you, the Internet, the People's Pitstop has Kyle in the starting lineup, and Kyle has the pole for the second time this season, earning us 10 bonus points.

2. Kurt Busch. Even though he'll be on the bench, he still gets us a bonus point for starting fourth.

3. Denny Hamlin. He has a strong record on this track, and he has six finishes in the top 10 this season.

4. Clint Bowyer. Oh, by the way, the People's Pitstop also has Bowyer in the starting lineup. And he's on the front row with Kyle Busch, earning the Internet's favorite fantasy racing team five bonus points.

5. Greg Biffle. His eight top 10 finishes has him tied for the lead among Sprint Cup drivers.

6. Matt Kenseth. With his teammate.

7. Kevin Harvick. And with the current points leader.

8. Jeff Gordon. He may actually be Hendrick Motorsports' strongest candidate to win this year's Cup. He has a pair of 2nd-place finishes this season, and he has more wins on this track than any active NASCAR driver.

9. Mark Martin. Five finishes in the top five this season, tied with Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson for the most.

10. Tony Stewart. How does a two-time Cup winner the defending champion of this race get picked as the medium to long shot? By being 16th in points.

We'll be back after the race with results and new polls.
