Picks For The Win: Southern 500 @ Darlington

1. #48 Jimmie Johnson.  He tends to come alive in big races.
2. #19 Carl Edwards.  It takes finesse to win here.  Sometimes even more than speed.
3. #88 Jeff Gordon.  If there ever was a place to come back and win, this would be it for Jeff.

Guys to Watch

1. #18 Kyle Busch.  Darlington rewards tough drivers.
2. #41 Kurt Busch.  He really wants a win after that infamous second place finish he received in 2003.
3. #43 Aric Almerola.  Wouldn’t it be cool if he ran well here in a throwback Petty scheme.
