Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there, NASCAR and otherwise.
In addition to the ties and after-shave and man caves your kids have already given you today, we have an additional gift for you: a set of predictions for which NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers will finish in the top 10 at today's Sprint Cup race at Sonoma. Last week's predictions went 5-5, leaving us with a season record of 66-74.
1. Denny Hamlin. At this point, he could probably show up driving this and finish in the top 10.
2. Kasey Kahne. He's on the pole, he's the defending champ, and he may still be trying to figure out where he'll drive next year.
3. Kevin Harvick. Just in case you forgot something...
4. Jimmie Johnson. He's sharing the front row at a track where drivers like to tell you that track position is important.
5 and 6. Kurt and Kyle Busch. Just so their dad doesn't have to pick a favorite driver on his special day.
7. Tony Stewart. He's a two-time winner here, and he needs to make a move if he wants to be involved in the Chase.
8. Marcos Ambrose. This Road Warrior starts in the top 10 this week.
9. Jeff Gordon. So does this five-time Sonoma winner, who's a popular pick to win this week.
10. Juan Pablo Montoya. Today's medium to long shot is a driver whose only NASCAR victory so far is on this track. The former Indianapolis 500 winner is in danger of becoming an afterthought, and he knows it.
We'll be back with results and polls for next week's race.
