Phoenix
looks to be in the upper 80's this weekend
chevrolet has been dominating this track the past 7 years winning 11/12 races with jimmie johnson winning 4 of those 11!
pretty impressive and look for him to be a contender if not win it without any mechanical problems. Denny Hamlin loves mile long tracks and his stats are remarkable. i would see putting him on my team this week but he is coming off surgery and not quite sure how big of role that will play saturday so im putting in my reserve tank just in case i decide to make a last minute change. Tony Stewart is another driver who has a good average at these mile long tracks and he is my pick for a solid top 5 finish no matter what this week. jeff burton and jeff gordon will also be in the mix.
mark martin has success on 1-mile tracks with similar banking so would be a solid top 10 finish. Mark Martin has nine top-five finishes at Phoenix, more than any other driver. He has one victory and five second-place finishes in his 24 races and has just one DNF, that coming in his first race there.
My picks:
Jimmie Johnson
Tony Stewart
Jeff Gordon
