Roger: I like drivers with a little something extra to prove, and Matt Kenseth certainly has that heading into the Chicagoland race. If not for Jeff Gordon’s bump last year, Kenseth might have hung on and won the race. Kenseth is at his best at intermediate tracks like this 1.5-miler, and he’ll have all the fans from nearby Wisconsin there to spur him to victory. Ah, the power of cheese.
Sleeper: Juan Pablo Montoya.
Not so fast: Jamie McMurray.
Vinnie: Don’t worry, Roger, Matt Kenseth isn't alone – Jeff Gordon has pretty much bumped everyone out of the way this season on his way to the top of the Nextel Cup standings. With Denny Hamlin lurking behind him, No. 24 will kick it into gear at a track where he has had unbelievable success. He’ll repeat and make it five top five finishes in seven Chicagoland races.
Sleeper: Reed Sorenson.
Not so fast: Kasey Kahne.
Last week: Roger regained the lead and gave himself some cushion when Vinnie’s pick at Daytona went up in smoke. Vinnie went with heavy favorite Tony Stewart, who took out teammate Hamlin on Lap 14 and paid the price, limping home 38th. Roger’s pick, Jimmie Johnson, finished 10th.
Standings after 18 races: Roger 2,458; Vinnie 2,377.
