Here’s a look at who the NBC Sports staff is picking to win today’s Cup race at Michigan International Speedway.

Nate Ryan

Martin Truex Jr. He had the best car in June before circumstances intervened. They won’t this time.

Dustin Long

Kyle Larson. He makes it three in a row at Michigan.

Daniel McFadin

Michigan has served as a safe harbor for Dale Earnhardt Jr. during career low points before. The 2-mile track does so again today.

Jerry Bonkowski

Joey Logano. He gets his old Michigan mojo (2 wins, 5 top-5 and 12 top-10 in 17 starts) back -- and makes the playoffs as a bonus.
