No. 25 Brad Keselowski: Keselowski is back behind the wheel of the No. 25 car. He is worth taking a gamble on in deep leagues.
No. 43 Reed Sorenson: Chicagoland is Sorenson's best track. He has sleeper potential.
No. 47 Marcos Ambrose: Ambrose has top-six finishes in three of the last five races. The Affable Aussie is a great fourth driver in most fantasy leagues.
No. 42 Juan Pablo Montoya: Montoya has finished in the top 20 in both of his starts at Chicagoland. He is an option in deep leagues.
No. 07 Casey Mears: Mears has been wildly inconsistent at Chicagoland. There are much less risky drivers to pick this weekend.
No. 44 A.J. Allmendinger: A.J. finished 13th in his only previous start at Chicagoland. He could be a sleeper choice.
No. 96 Bobby Labonte: Labonte has finished in the top 20 in five of his eight career starts at Chicagoland. He isn't a bad fifth driver in most fantasy leagues.
No. 00 David Reutimann: Reutimann's success at Joliet has been mixed. He finished 14th last year and blew an engine in 2007. He will be a middle of the pack driver.
No. 12 David Stremme: Stremme, a native of Indiana, has raced well on his "hometown" track. He could surprise with a top-20 finish.
No. 19 Elliott Sadler: Sadler hasn't been great at Joliet during his career. He should crack the top 30 but won't help your fantasy team.
31 to 35
No. 26 Jamie McMurray: McMurray has been terrible the past four races at Chicagoland. He should be avoided.
No. 77 Sam Hornish Jr.: Hornish Jr. had one of the worst cars on the track in last year's race at Chicagoland. This isn't the weekend to take a chance on Mr. Hornish.
No. 98 Paul Menard: Menard hasn't cracked the top 15 in a race since early May. He isn't an option.
No. 55 Michael Waltrip: Waltrip will be a non-factor this weekend. He shouldn't be used in fantasy leagues.
No. 7 Robby Gordon: Gordon won't help your fantasy team this weekend.
