20. Tony Stewart
20. Tony Stewart
Stewart has just one top-20 finish in his last four races in Bristol and he has looked like a shell of himself this season.
19. A.J. Allmendinger
19. A.J. Allmendinger
Allmendinger has cracked the top-26 in three straight races this season.
18. Martin Truex Jr.
18. Martin Truex Jr.
MTJ has historically struggled at Bristol and his 29th place starting spot won’t help his cause much this week.
17. Kevin Harvick
17. Kevin Harvick
Harvick has just one top-10 finish at Bristol in his last 10 trips. He will start back in 27th and will be a very risky pick this week.
16. Aric Almirola
16. Aric Almirola
Almirola has four top-20 finishes in his last eight races this season.
15. Greg Biffle
15. Greg Biffle
Biffle has just one top-10 finish on the year. He will start this year in eighth, but he won’t be worth a top-10 pick with his recent string of bad luck.
14. Ryan Newman
14. Ryan Newman
Newman has eight top-12 finishes in his last 11 races in Bristol. He will be the ultimate sleeper pick this week.
13. Kurt Busch
13. Kurt Busch
Busch has yet to crack the top-20 this season. Fortunately, he has 11 top-20 appearances in his last 13 trips to Bristol.
12. Jamie McMurray
12. Jamie McMurray
McMurray has nine consecutive top-21 finishes in Bristol.
11. Matt Kenseth
11. Matt Kenseth
Kenseth will start in third, but considering he may have to leave due to the birth of his daughter, it may be better off to pass on him this week.
10. Clint Bowyer
10. Clint Bowyer
Bowyer has four straight top-14 finishes in Tennessee.
9. Joey Logano
9. Joey Logano
Logano will start this race in fourth and should be a shoe in to crack the top-10.
8. Jeff Gordon

Gordon has three straight top-10 finishes on the year and another top-10 finish seems almost guaranteed given his sixth place starting spot.
7. Kyle Busch
7. Kyle Busch
Busch has finished inside the top-11 in two consecutive races this year.
6. Kasey Kahne
6. Kasey Kahne
Kahne has cracked the top-11 in six of his last seven trips to Bristol. He is also the defending champion of the spring race, so expect him to be one of the most popular options this weekend.
5. Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Junior is having a career season and has become a reliable top-five fantasy option.
4. Carl Edwards

3. Jimmie Johnson
3. Jimmie Johnson
Johnson has cracked the top-six in three straight races this year.
