Hints: Seeing as how this track is really hard to pick for I'm relying on past racing history at Michigan, how a driver is doing this year and a little guessing for my picks this week. Rousch Fenway Racing has had big success in the past and there's no reason for this year to be any different. Look for Carl Edwards to have a good week.
Also, the drivers that are traditionally strong on speedways will be good picks this week. Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. should both have top 10 finishes. Seeing as how Kyle Busch finished dead last at Pocono you can bet he'll be looking for the win this weekend ... which, knowing his racing style, could lead to calamity as it did last Sunday.
One other driver I'll be interested in this weekend is Patrick Carpentier. This will be his first race at Michigan in a stock car, but he's had 6 starts in an open-wheel racecar with 5 top 10's and one win. Whether or not that success will carry over into NASCAR is anyone's guess but he's been a pretty good qualifier this year so maybe he'll at least pick up some points in that capacity.
Good luck!

Boy did I have a nominal week. I jumped up to fourth and was passed by our other humble narrator who jumped into 3rd spot. Two straight weeks of Kyle Busch having lackluster weeks. Now that I can't use him again I imagine he'll get on fire. I had actually picked the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place finishers but only had Brian Vickers, who finished 4th, chosen. At least the Star team owners are still hanging in there. Next week, Infineon Raceway for some road course goodness.
