A List

1. Kyle Busch (9 starts remaining)

Busch, a native of Las Vegas, is the defending race winner and has won the last two poles at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

2. Mark Martin (9)

While I love Kyle Busch this week, he is still a high risk/high reward fantasy option. Mark Martin is a great complement to Busch due to his consistency. Kyle’s aggression and Mark’s patience give this week’s A-List a ton of flexibility, which is a huge advantage early in the season.

Martin did blow an engine in this race last year, but the 5 car was fast at all of the 1.5 mile racetracks in 2009, so I fully expect Crew Chief Allen Gustafson to unload a rocket ship Friday.

B List

1. Kevin Harvick (8)

2009 is so last year. Richard Childress Racing looks like they’re back and I’m riding all three of their drivers while they’re hot. Harvick finished 12^th in this race last year, 4^th in ‘08 and is coming off a 2^nd place finish last week in Fontana.

2. Jeff Burton (8)

Burton finished 3^rd at Auto Club Sunday and has posted Top 5 finishes in each of the last two races at Las Vegas.
