The NASCAR folks may have issues with Mother Nature on Sunday at Dover International Speedway, but the people who bring you this fine Web site should have no trouble getting this week's top 10 driver forecasts to you. Of course, this may not necessarily be a good thing. Last week's predictions went 0-4, lowering our season record to 8-24.
One from the front: You might look at this 2009 Dover video and think that Joey Logano might not be the best candidate for a top 10 finish. But then we would have to remind you that he finished in the top 10 in both races on this track last season. Logano starts fifth this time and should be able to keep his car near the front.
One from the rear: The official starting list may show Kyle Busch in 7th place, but he's being sent to the rear because he had to replace his engine. Still, this is the guy who won the truck race on this track on Friday. He's also the guy who won last year's spring race at Dover.
Two from the middle: It's hard to pick against Carl Edwards these days. He's starting 12th this week, but he won the Nationwide race on Saturday, and he almost won last week's Sprint Cup race at Darlington. Oh, and did we mention he's the points leader?
And then there's Greg Biffle. He's starting 12th today and sits quietly in ninth place in driver points. Unless you looked up his career statistics, you would never guess that he has 10 finishes in the top 10 on this track. (Only Bristol has given him more top 10 finishes.) You also wouldn't guess that he has won here twice; only Homestead-Miami Speedway has sent him to Victory Lane more often.
Enjoy the race, everybody. We'll be back with results.
