This week’s predictions: Windows 10 400
Amy Henderson, Senior Editor: Just to be different, I’m going with Austin Dillon.
Matt Stallknecht, Senior Editor: Kevin Harvick.
Mark Howell, Senior Writer: Martin Truex Jr. will complete the sweep.
Tony Lumbis, Financial Manager: Brad Keselowski.
Toni Montgomery, Senior Editor: I’ll take Carl Edwards this week.
Huston Ladner, Senior Editor: JoLo (Joey Logano).
Matt McLaughlin, Senior Writer: Please put me down for Keselowski. A Ford hasn’t won since Fontana the fifth race of the season and it’s time. As long as Keselowski isn’t preoccupied writing a possible Oscar speech for his work in Sharknado 3, that is.Â
Aaron Bearden, Assistant Editor: #BradK
Greg Davis, Senior Writer:Â Harvick.
Jerry Jordan, Contributing Writer: I talked to the Magic 8-Ball and it told me to pick Kurt Busch.Â
Danny Peters, Senior Writer: I’m going for a Truex sweep.
Vito Pugliese, Senior Writer: Harvick.
Zach Catanzareti, Contributing Writer: Truex goes for two.
Sean Fesko, Contributing Writer: Kyle Busch.
Mike Neff, Senior Editor: I know I should continue to ride the Kyle Busch bandwagon but I’m going to hitch my wagon to Harvick this week.
Joseph Wolkin, Assistant Editor: Denny Hamlin.
Jeff Wolfe, Senior Writer: Well… Kyle Busch, I guess.
Clayton Caldwell, Contributing Writer: Harvick.
