Predictions

Charles Rahrig

Kyle Busch is going to get his chance to win a race soon. He’s come close in the first three races of the season, which is a good sign that he’s going to break through and win soon. He also does very well at Phoenix and it’s a track that’s suited to Busch dominating on Sunday.

He’s going to have some heavy competition, but this is the week where he doesn’t let anything keep him from winning. He wants to lock up a spot in the Chase early and get it out of the way. With a strong sense of urgency, there’s not going to be a driver that is going to be able to touch him this week.

Philip Naegely

Jimmie Johnson is going to spoil the chances of another driver entering the Chase this week. He’s off to a great start this season and he also has the most top-5 finishes at Phoenix. When it comes to the road oval that encompasses the heart of a desert on warm spring’s morn, Johnson will enter further inspired to add yet another win toward a season filled with the hopes of glory and dreams of the determination that burns within.
