Before everyone turns their attention to the other people racing today, it's time to offer our weekly predictions for the NASCAR drivers who will finish in the top 10 tonight at Darlington Raceway. Last week's forecasts returned to their usual performance level by going 1-3, leaving us with a season record of 8-20.
One from the front: It has worked before, so we'll go with Jeff Gordon again this week. He starts fifth in this race and has seven victories on this track. If he can just avoid the non-SAFER-barrier walls, he should do just fine.
One from the back: They say experience is essential at Darlington. Well, Ken Schrader starts 40th but has experience to spare. The soon-to-be-56-year-old has 737 races under his belt. Let's just hope he didn't send a cardboard cutout to drive for him again.
Two from the middle: Kyle Busch starts 14th tonight and won Friday night's Nationwide race on this track. Jimmie Johnson starts 19th and has his usual resume.
Enjoy the races, everyone. We'll be back with results and fresh polls.
