Phoenix International Raceway is the site of the first Saturday night Sprint Cup race of the season.
Our picks:
Brandon's picks: Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards✔, Kyle Busch✔, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Ryan Newman✔, Greg Biffle, Paul Menard✔ and Brian Vickers.
Erik's picks: Kevin Harvick✔, Matt Kenseth, Dale Earnhardt Jr.✔, Mark Martin✔, Martin Truex Jr., Greg Biffle, Paul Menard and Brian Vickers✔.
Notes: Jeff Burton is currently in the points lead and has had 2 wins on the 1-mile track. It's safe to say that with 9 top 10 finishes in 17 races at Phoenix he will be someone to keep an eye on. Last year it was all Hendrick that took the checkered flags with wins going to Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon. With Hendrick's rocky start it will be interesting to see if Johnson can pull off his first win of the season. I don't think Gordon is there just yet. One more thing, Carl Edwards, despite his woes in Atlanta, couldn't be any hotter. He should be a top contender Saturday night.

Oh Newman, you set the pole and enticed me with rumors of a first-place car and you finished dead last. Lesson learned. Anyway, I somehow managed to stay in the top 10. I'm currently in 9th and about 150 pts. out of first place. Erik gained some ground this week finishing in 11th place and is about 170 pts. out of first. Erik, I can see you in my rear-view mirror.
