Pickem: Coca-Cola 600

This week the Nextel Cup guys travel...well..not very far. They actually race at the same track as last week, Lowes Motorspeedway. The race should be exciting for the fans but difficult for the drivers. The question of track surface v. tires still has not been completely answered meaning that the drivers will be at the mercy of the track the full 600 miles. One thing is a given...Jimmie Johnson will be the man to beat at his sponsors track as he has dominated over the past two years. Other drivers that could find themselves near the front include Tony Stewart, Kyle Busch, Kasey Kahne, Matt Kenseth, Greg Biffle and Mark Martin (among others). With that said, below is my pick for the week..and did I mention that I feel a little crazy this week. I was impressed with this guys run last week and if it were not for him being spun out, would have been up at the front during the challenge.

My Pick:
