Kyle Busch picked up his third win of the Sprint Cup season on Saturday night at Kansas Speedway, and will be looking to make it four this weekend at the Monster Mile. Here are predictions from the VAVEL NASCAR team for this weekend's AAA 400 Drive for Autism at Dover Raceway.


Standings after Kansas


This week's picks

Stevie Larson

Driver: Jimmie Johnson

Reason: " Johnson has dominated the Sprint Cup series at Dover, as evidenced by his 10 career wins there. The rest of the field will have a tough time containing the Hendrick Motorsports #48 car this weekend, and when the checkered flag flies, he will be pulling into victory lane."

Mark Smith

Driver: Tony Stewart

Reason: "Smokes last victory in the Sprint Cup Series was here at Dover in 2013. I think the driver of the Mobil 1 Chevrolet will end the longest winless streak of his great career this weekend at The Monster Mile. Smoke will rise this week in Delaware!"

Stephen Furst

Driver: Kevin Harvick

Reason: " In the last four races, Kevin has posted 1 win along with 2 top 5s. Kevin also leads drivers over the last four races with 693 laps led."

Brandon Farris

Driver: Jimmie Johnson

Reason: "He has dominated Dover lately, with 10 career wins there. That, along with him coming off a 17th place finish at Kansas will motivate him to win this weekend's race."
