Jimmie Johnson, Greg Biffle At Kansas: You Can't Go Wrong

Who would be a smart pick at Kansas? Well, there are two drivers who are head and shoulders above the rest: Jimmie Johnson and Greg Biffle.

Look at their average driver rating numbers: Both drivers are outstanding. And Johnson nearly had a perfect rating once (145 out of 150).

Meanwhile, stay away from Chase guys like Denny Hamlin (16th) and Kyle Busch (18th), who have yet to figure out what it takes to run up front at Kansas.
