The beginning of the race at Kansas Speedway will feature some very unfamiliar faces in the top ten, but odds are that there will be some regulars in the top-ten by the time the checkered flag is dropped. Below are my top fantasy NASCAR drivers for the STP 400:

1. Kevin Harvick – Harvick has finished 11^th or better in four of his last five races.

2. Denny Hamlin – Hamlin will start fourth this weekend and is easily one of the favorites to take home the checkered flag.

3. Martin Truex Jr. – Truex Jr. has four straight finishes in the top-ten and has become a fantasy NASCAR superstar at this point in his career.

4. Tony Stewart – Stewart has a horrible starting spot at 23^rd, but if anyone can move up from the back it is Stewart.

5. Dale Earnhardt Jr. – “Junior” is having a career season and should break his win-less streak any week now.

6. Brad Keselowski – Keselowski won the event at Kansas last year after starting 25^th so except another solid performance from the youngster.

7. Clint Bowyer – Bowyer has been tearing up both the Nationwide and NASCAR series this year, so expect another solid performance from the #15 car.

8. Kasey Kahne – Kahne is coming off his best finish of the year after finishing 7^th last week at Texas and he gets to start in 9^th place for the race this weekend.

9. A.J. Allmendinger – AJA stole the pole position for the race at Kansas, but he started 2^nd at Bristol and ended up finishing 15th.

10. Greg Biffle - “The Biff” continues to race hard each week and is having a career season.
