He rightly anticipated some strong reactions to that pick, and came with some interesting facts to back it up.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Meara points out that Kahne did finish 13th at the Daytona 500, the highest among the five Hendrick Motorsport drivers, including polesitter Chase Elliot. O\u2019Meara also recalls that Kahne\u2019s last NASCAR win came at the very same track back in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>As O\u2019Meara sees it, Kahne will have to perform now that the rookie Elliott has immediately made a name for himself, and Atlanta Motor Speedway is just the track where he can do it.<\/p>\n<h3>The Fantasy Racing Cheat Sheet<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Jeff Gutowski&#8217;s Top 5<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Jimmie Johnson<\/li>\n<li>Kevin Harvick<\/li>\n<li>Dale Earnhardt Jr.<\/li>\n<li>Matt Kenseth<\/li>\n<li>Kyle Busch<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Jeff Gutowski of The Fantasy Racing Cheat Sheet admittedly didn\u2019t do too well with his predictions for Daytona, but he\u2019s looking to redeem himself with his picks in Atlanta. His top five overall for the race are Johnson, Harvick, Earnhardt Jr., Kenseth and Kyle Busch.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not hard to see why Gutowski has Johnson on top of his list. The six-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champ is the the defending champ in this race, so that&#8217;s good. Oh, and he has four wins and 13 top five finishes in Atlanta in 24 starts, which is better.<\/p>\n<p>Gutowski is also bullish about Dale Earnhardt Jr.\u2019s chances even after that crash in Daytona. He interpreted Junior&#8217;s\u00a0lack disappointment after his\u00a0crash as a sign of confidence in his and his team\u2019s performance for the season \u2013 and in Atlanta. Junior&#8217;s priced at <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/nascar\/folds-of-honor-quiktrip-500\">+1,500<\/a> to win his first race of the year.<\/p>\n<h3>Yahoo!
