Pickem: Michigan

This week the Nextel Cup Series travels to Michigan Speedway. Jeremy Mayfield won this race last year on fuel mileage (even though I do not think he will be in contention this year). A few other drivers are known for running good at this track, including Kasey Kahne (spring winner), Greg Biffle, Ryan Newman and Tony Stewart. This may the best chance for both Biffle and Kahne to gain some ground on the top ten, while Dale Jr. and Jeff Gordon look to stay solid in an effort to keep their positions.

Plus, the musical chairs of drivers jumping into new rides starts this weekend with both David Gilliland and Elliot Sadler making their first starts with their new teams. Look for more of this to come in the next few weeks.

My Pick: Denny Hamlin
