As the People's League prepares for Sunday night's draft and hundreds of entertainers prepare for Jerry Lewis' shindig, it's time to offer the weekly predictions for which NASCAR drivers will finish in the top 10 race in the Sprint Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Our most recent predictions went a respectable 5-5, leaving us with an almost respectable season record of 109-121.
1. Kevin Harvick. All he has to do over the next two weeks is make sure he doesn't get hurt on the way to the Chase.
2. Jeff Gordon. Ditto.
3. Kyle Busch. You want a hot hand? Mr. Pink Car and a Pink Suit thoroughly dominated Bristol Motor Speedway two weeks ago.
4. Denny Hamlin. He has the pole, and the way things stand now, he'd start the Chase with the lead.
5. Clint Bowyer. Given the right set of circumstances, he could actually sew up the 12th and final Chase spot...
6. Jamie McMurray. ...or he could open the door for McMurray, who won his first Nationwide race in six years on Saturday.
7. Kasey Kahne. He won here last year, and stranger things have happened.
8. Tony Stewart. He found trouble in Bristol, but he still have five top 10 finishes in his last six races, and he starts fifth tonight.
9. Ryan Newman. There's no denying that Newman knows how to go fast in Atlanta. He's starting second tonight, and he has seven poles on this track.
10. David Ragan. This week's medium-to-long shot (with emphasis on long) is a driver who's starting 9th on his sponsor's home track. If only he were racing the truck...
We'll be back with results from the fantasy football polls, which will close in a few hours. Please vote now.
