Although he has yet to win this season, Carl Edwards is one of the favorites to take the checkered flag at the Samsung 500 in Texas.

21 to 30

No. 9 Kasey Kahne: Kahne won the April 2006 race at Texas, but that is his only top 15 finish at the track in the past seven races.
No. 07 Casey Mears: Mears has struggled in recent races at Texas. He will finish just outside the top 20 on Sunday.
No. 42 Juan Pablo Montoya: Montoya has been hit-or-miss at TMS during his career. He should finish just outside the top 20 on Sunday.
No. 44 A.J. Allmendinger: Allmendinger is having a terrific year, but Texas is a track he hasn't run well at in the past. He should just miss the top 20.
No. 83 Brian Vickers: Vickers has never had much success at Texas Motor Speedway during his career.
No. 55 Michael Waltrip: Nothing Waltrip usually does is quiet, but he is quietly having a good year. He should have another top-30 finish this weekend.
No. 12 David Stremme: Stremme has one top-10 finish in three starts at Texas, but he isn't consistent enough for us to predict a higher finish in this weekend's race.
No. 19 Elliott Sadler: Sadler hasn't had much success at Texas since he won at the track in 2004. There are far better options this weekend.
No. 96 Bobby Labonte: Texas is a track Labonte and the No. 96 team look forward to racing at all season. He could surprise some people with where he finishes on Sunday.
No. 20 Joey Logano: Logano makes his second career start at Texas Motor Speedway this weekend. He will improve on the 40th-place finish he had at the track last time, but that's not saying much.

31 to 35
No. 98 Paul Menard: Menard has cracked top 30 in all four of his career Texas starts. He will just miss making it five consecutive top 30 finishes at the track this weekend.
No. 25 Brad Keselowski: Rick Hendrick is bringing back Ricky Craven's No. 25 car this weekend with Keselowski behind the wheel. The talented youngster has the potential to finish inside the top 20.
No. 77 Sam Hornish Jr.: Hornish Jr. is guaranteed a spot in Sunday's race, but that doesn't mean he is worth using in fantasy leagues.
No. 34 John Andretti: Lil' John has never finished on the lead lap in eight career starts at Texas. He is not an option.
No. 7 Robby Gordon: Gordon has cracked the top 20 just once in 10 career starts at Texas. He isn't a fantasy option.
