Each week the staff at NASCAR.COM will pick a race winner, a dark horse for the checkers and the ain't-got-a-chance driver (no scrubs; someone with a Q score).
Our scoring system: Experts receive as many points as the "winner" pick gets in the race.

| Writer | Winner | Here's why | Dark Horse | No Chance | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Josh Pate | Jimmie Johnson | Remember that whole Lowe's car wins at the Lowe's track thing? Johnson retakes command of his track from Kasey Kahne, who temporarily stole the show in May. | Kurt Busch | Kevin Harvick | 4,401 |
| Duane Cross | Jimmie Johnson | He's leading the points -- and he's won two playoff races at Charlotte -- so it's deja vu all over again for No. 48. | Bobby Labonte | Clint Bowyer | 4,380 |
| Raygan Swan | Jimmie Johnson | I think Carl Edwards is too destracted by all this fight club drama in the garage so I'm going to the sure thing: Johnson is a five-time winner at Lowe's. | Kasey Kahne | Matt Kenseth | 4,304 |
| Bill Kimm | Carl Edwards | As long as he stays away from Kevin Harvick, Edwards will close the gap a little on Jimmie Johnson. The No. 99 has been too good at LMS to not be in Victory Lane. | Jamie McMurray | Kyle Busch | 4,296 |
| Dave Rodman | Jimmie Johnson | The championship pick continues his champion's roll. | Dave Blaney | Denny Hamlin | 4,212 |
| Joe Menzer | Jeff Gordon | People forget that he's the defending champion of this event, and he's got to win somewhere before this season is over. Doesn't he? | Elliott Sadler | Ryan Newman | 4,163 |
| David Caraviello | Jimmie Johnson | Mr. Charlotte takes his sixth career victory at Lowe's Motor Speedway, and in the process begins to separate himself from the remainder of the Chase field. Time for Cale Yarborough to make some room. | David Ragan | Kyle Busch | 4,079 |
| Jarrod Breeze | Jimmie Johnson | Johnson's track record at Lowe's aside, I don't care if he had never sniffed Victory Lane there. It's not where the race is, but what it is: a Chase race. 'Nuff said. | Brian Vickers | Jeff Gordon | 3,804 |
| Mark Aumann | Kasey Kahne | Jimmie Johnson has the bigger reputation, but it's Kasey who has won three of the past five races at Lowe's. | Sam Hornish Jr. | Kevin Harvick | 3,737 |
