Predictions:

Winner Prediction: Justin Allgaier

I think Justin Allgaier steals this one. Allgaier has been really strong recently, and I believe JR Motorsports will get back to back wins with Allgaier winning at Michigan.

Top 10 Predictions:

1st – 7 Allgaier
2nd – 20 Nemechek
3rd – 98 Herbst
4th – 19 Gibbs
5th – 21 Hill
6th – 8 Berry
7th – 00 Custer
8th – 18 S.Smith
9th –  77 Hocevar
10th – 31 Retzlaff
