Fearless Predictions - Pocono

Before you get too deep into your perusal of wedding photos, it's time to predict which NASCAR drivers will finish in the top 10 in today's Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway. Last week's predictions went about as well as Juan Pablo Montoya's afternoon, going 4-6 and leaving us with a season record of 89-101.

1. Denny Hamlin. Hard to pick against the driver who won the last two Sprint Cup races on this track.

2. Tony Stewart. Unless you go with the driver who won the race before that.

3. Jeff Gordon. He's a four-time winner on this track, and he's still second in driver points this season.

4. Kevin Harvick. And Gordon is still staring up at this guy

5. Jimmie Johnson. No mincing words -- his team stunk last week. Expect them all to bounce back this week.

6. Kyle Busch. The way he's tearing up the Nationwide circuit, you'd think he expects to transfer points from one series to another.

7. Jamie McMurray. It would be an understatement to say he's very comfortable on NASCAR's largest oval tracks this year. (Yes, I know Pocono technically isn't an oval. Work with me here.)

8. Mark Martin. At the moment, he's on the outside looking in as far as the Chase is concerned. Sounds like plenty of motivation to keep his car on the track and near the front.

9. Juan Pablo Montoya. If there is such a thing as karma in NASCAR, Montoya has to have it on his side by now.

10. Elliott Sadler. This week's medium to long shot -- and since he's starting 29th, "long" definitely applies here -- acknowledges Sadler's win in Saturday's truck race at Pocono, which makes him the 21st driver to win races in the Sprint Cup, Nationwide and truck series.

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