Here are my pick 's for the ten driver's with the best chance a the sprint cup. We still have alot of racing to go look for these driver's to improve as the season goes on. Some of the driver's have alot of work to do, but i belive they all make the chase. 2009 has been interesting so far we've seen some driver's have a unforgetable season and other's who would rather forget this season.

This weekend Nascar is in pocono with qualifying cancelled due to rain this should be a great race. Will Stewart improve on his lead or will Gordon take back the point's lead, or will johnson get up front. Can Harvick get in the top 12 what about Dale Jr can he get closer or will his string of bad luck continue? We still have alot of races left to go and some of these driver's have issue's that need to be resolved. I put the driver's in the order that they be in when the chase start's i know it's hard to say that Dale Jr will make the chase , but with all the changes at HMS thing's can only get better for him hopefully. I belive that Kasey Khane will make the chase also he's 14th in point's it's not a goal that's out of reach yet. All of these guy's have a real good chance a winning it all, is it possible that Jimmie could win his forth cup or will gordon win his fifth.

Will Stewart win his first cup as an owner/driver, can Kenseth get back on top and win another cup. Carl Edwards should make the chase and get Roush/Fenway back on top again. I guess we will see what happen's when the chase start's this should be a great chase for the cup.

NUMBER 10

LONG POND, PA - JUNE 06:  Dale Earnhardt Jr, driver of the # 88 National Guard/AMP Energy Chevrolet stands in the garage area during practice for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Pocono 500 on June 6, 2009 at Pocono International Raceway in Long Pond, Pennsyl

Despite the bad luck in 09 Jr will turn his season around. With a new crew chief Jr should make the chase and win the cup.

NUMBER 9

DOVER, DE - MAY 30:  Matt Kenseth, driver of the #17 DeWalt Ford, stands in the garage during practice for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Autism Speaks 400 at Dover International Speedway on May 30, 2009 in Dover, Delaware.  (Photo by Jeff Zelevansky/Getty

Despite problem's in 2009 Matt has 2 win's and is currently 8th in the point's standing's. definintly a chase contender

NUMBER 8

TALLADEGA, AL - APRIL 26:  Kevin Harvick, driver of the #29 Shell / Pennzoil Chevrolet during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Aaron's 499 at Talladega Superspeedway on April 26, 2009 in Talladega, Alabama.  (Photo by Jerry Markland/Getty Images for NASCAR)

Kevin has 0 win's in 09 and is 24th in the point's standing's. I belive he'll make the chase.

NUMBER 7

DAYTONA, FL - FEBRUARY 15:  Kasey Khane, driver of the #9 Hellmann's Dodge, looks on prior to practice for the Orbitz 300 at Daytona International Speedway on February 15, 2007 in Daytona, Florida.  (Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images for NASCAR)

Kasey has no win's but is 14th in the point's standing's. He'll make the chase this year.

NUMBER 6

Carl has not won in 09 but don't count him out. He is 11th in the point's standing's.

NUMBER 5

LONG POND, PA - JUNE 06:  Mark Martin, driver of the #5 Kellogg's/CARQUEST Chevrolet, waits in his car during practice for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Pocono 500 on June 6, 2009 at Pocono International Raceway in Long Pond, Pennsylvania.  (Photo by Rusty

Mark has 2 win's and is 12th in the point's standing's. This could be the year for Martin to get his first championship.

NUMBER 4

Jimmie has 2 win's in 09 and is 3rd in the point's standing's. Team Lowes could make it 4 in a row?

NUMBER 3

Kyle has 3 win's in 09 and is 6th in the point's standing's. He should make a strong run for the championship.

NUMBER 1

Tony has won two championships with JGR. Now he's a owner/driver i see more championship's in his future. He's already first place in the point's standing's
