Week 14 -- Pocono



Why do they race at this track twice a year, let alone twice within six weeks of each race? I must say that Pocono is one of the more unusual tracks, which makes for some interesting racing, but once a year is plenty. Well, plenty for about 35 of the guys that will be on track Sunday. Seems there are only about five to seven drivers who have this place down. Who will be in Glenn's Ten this week?

* Bobby Labonte (winner) -- He always runs well here and is coming off some poor performances of late. Time to step it up and get back to victory lane.

The rest of the top 10 (in no particular order):
* Ryan Newman -- won here last time and ran well before that.
* Dale Earnhardt Jr. -- Has run some close races here. Might be my sleeper pick to win.
* Tony Stewart -- Hungry for a victory and has come close past couple of races. Performance often mirror's Labonte's.
* Ward Burton -- Huh? Starting way back, but will work his way up through timely cautions.
* Jeff Gordon -- Needs to atone for sub-30th place finishes past two weeks. Once was a dominant force here.
* Kasey Kahne -- Starting on the pole has to be worth something.
* Jeremy Mayfield -- Will shake off bad luck at Dover. His last win came on this track in 2000 (when he was driving what is now Ryan Newman's ride...).
* Matt Kenseth -- Needs a permants reserved spot in the top 10. He's actually starting in a good spot for a change -- 15th -- so won't need to work as hard to get up front.
* Dale Jarrett -- Has been quietly improving. Might just sneak in here
