Well, last week was hard to predict since it was a night race, but I got 1st and third dead on, and I swapped 6th and 7th I learned that I will never trust Reed again no matter what his status, and I'm won't aknowledge Michael until he does better, and also congradulations to Greg Biffle this week, earning his first top 10 at Chicagoland. that being said, lets move on to this weeks predictions.
1.) Kyle Busch
Here we go again with Kyle Busch, in his 3 starts here, never finished below 10th, and this track is usually reflected on who is the most dominant over the season, and Kyle Busch has that title this year. avg. finish 7.0
2.)Tony Stewart 
I have a feeling this will be the most dominant driver of the race, he proved himself last week that he has it, and he is VERY dominant here, I have a feeling he will be the Jimmie Johnson of Chicagoland. He also never finished below 17th, so he knows how to avoid trouble here. avg finish, 7.6
3.)Kevin Harvick 
He got third at Chicago, and I have a feeling he will rebound from that, he is a good driver, and he won here before, and one of the best drivers here, watch him go up there, and never finished below 19th. avg finish 7.7 (sorry about that last 17.7, with a lowest finish of 19th and a win, that is a lot of 19th's he would need
)
4.) Matt Kenseth
Recently he has been hot, getting from 21st to 8th in the standings is no easy task, so he is dominant right now, has a 2nd place here, avg. finish of 13.3, look at him toward the front.
5.)Carl Edwards 
He was dominant at Chicago until that problem, and is the most dominant driver other than Kyle, and maybe Junior, but he finished between 9th and 18th at this track, but he is much better this year, and dominance is the key, look for him up at the top. avg finish, 13.0
6.)Juan Pablo Montoya 
Here is the other people to watch for, the open wheelers, they love Indy 500s, and expect them to be up front, he was runner up last year!
7.) Jeff Gordon
He is very good here, but not so dominant this season, he is always finishing right outside the top 10, at a veteran's track, he should get a top 10, but I can't give him a top 5 with his performance recently. avg. finish, 7.3
8.) Brian Vickers 
He is pretty hot right now, and with a 3rd under his belt here and a 17.5 avg. finish, he should be top 10 material.
8.) Dale Earnhart Jr. 
I maybe ranking him too high, but he is dominant this season, before Chicago he had the best avg. finish, ahead of Kyle Busch. At least ESPN said so, but they may have been wrong, because now Jr. moved from 10.1 to 11.2 after a 16th place finish after seeing NASCAR's so don't listen to ESPN guys. But either way he is very dominant this year, and he did get a 6th before, so lets see this guy do good! avg finish, 21.1
9.) Jimmie Johnson 
He did win here before, but he is 27th in avg. finishes, so I maybe ranking him too high, but if he can avoid trouble, after his 2nd place last week, he could do good. avg finish. 23.5
10.) Clint Bowyer
He will be fighting to get back into the chase, and finished 13th and 4th here before, expect at top 15 at least.
11.) Mark Martin 
He got runner up here before and is good this season, expect a quality finish out of him. avg. finish, 14.3
12.) Bobby LaBonte 
He has won at this track before, and he has shown that he can very well get top 15's in a race, this one should be no different. avg. finish 15.5
13.) Kasey Khane 
Not the driver he used to be since Lowe's, but he did get a 2nd here, watch this guy. avg. finish, 20.5
(John Andretti WILL NOT be racing, so he loses this spot)
14.) Sam Hornish Jr. 
He is an open wheeler, and he proved that at Daytona, he is top 15 material, should be the same here.
15.) Kurt Busch
Did get a 5th here, but not the best this season, expect him a top 20. avg. finish, 14.9
16.) Denny Hamlin 
Had bad luck early last race, he is as bad luck as Tony, but finished 10th and 22nd here, hopefully his luck will somewhat turn around when he hangs in mid-pack.
17.) David Ragan 
got a 16th here last season, but this is a veteran's track, expect a top 20, but that's about it.
18.) Jeff Burton 
did get a 5th here, but has been off his game, he never had dominance, only consistency, and you need dominance here, avg. finish, 17.2
19.) Greg Biffle 
Did get a 6th here, and a 4th at a track he never got a top 10 at, he could be a surprise, but I don't think so. Avg. finish, 19.2
20.) Martin Truex Jr. 
This guy got a top 10 at Chicago, proving that he can get a good finish from a bad track, and he does have a 12th and 19th here from 3 starts, also a 42nd, so I maybe under ranking him, but he is worse this season..
Other Drivers of Note
Ryan Newman- did get a 6th here, but he is bad this season like the last, he only has Daytona for good runs, I don't see him doing good this race.
Patrick Carpantier- Anyone who is an open wheel driver will be on this list.
David Gilliland- Finished 17th with his only start, was shocking for some of the year, you never know.
Jaime McMurray, 17.2 avg start and finish and finished 3rd here, but not even a shadow of what he was last year.
Bill Elliot- Did win here, but that was in his Golden Years, maybe he can show a shade of his former glory.
