Fearless Predictions - Richmond

First, an update on the People's Pitstop lineup for the NASCAR Sprint Cup race in Richmond: Kyle Busch is on the pole and in the starting lineup for Saturday night's race. For winning the pole, Busch has earned the Internet's favorite fantasy racing team 10 bonus points. Jeff Gordon, who qualified fourth, got us 1 bonus point.

Now it's time for the latest set of predictions for the top 10 finishers. Last week's forecasts went a disappointing 3-7, lowering our season record to 36-44.

1. Greg Biffle. Nine races plus seven top 10 finishes equals the closest thing to a sure thing in these predictions.

2. Kevin Harvick. He found his way to the finish line last week, and his six top 10 finishes trail only Biffle's total.

3. Jimmie Johnson. Six top 10 finishes this season, three victories and FOUR STRAIGHT TITLES! Oh, and did I mention he's leading the points race?

4. Kyle Busch. He's on the pole, and he didn't even have to break out the pink car and the pink suit to get there.

5. Jeff Gordon. You get the feeling that it's only a matter of time before this four-time Cup winner breaks his winless streak.

6. Tony Stewart. He has three wins on this track, and he has a way of finding his way into the top 12 in time for the Chase.

7. Ryan Newman. So does Stewart's employee, who also has the advantage of starting in the top 10 on Saturday.

8. Mark Martin. He's quietly finished four times in the top five this season. Only Johnson has more top five finishes this season.

9. Jamie McMurray. He starts in the top 10 on Saturday, and he nearly beat Harvick to the finish line last week.

10. David Reutimann. This week's medium to long shot made things easier for the predictions by qualifying second.

We'll be back with results and polls for our next race.
