Last week when I made my pick for who I thought would win the race, I told you that I may have been jinxing the driver that I pick. I had picked Jimmie Johnson to win at Las Vegas, a track that he had won three times in a row. So what happens? He ends up finishing 29th. Uugh.

So, here we go again, let's see if I can finally break the losing streak that I am on (I have NEVER picked the winner) and finally do so this week.

I am going with Jeff Gordon for the win. He has four victories at Atlanta Motor Speedway, including 12 top-fives, and 19 top-tens. He's had some pretty bad luck so far this year, but maybe this is the track that will turn his luck around.

The other driver I'll be watching is Bobby Labonte. He has 6 wins here, including 12 top-fives and 13 top-tens.

I'm betting Ryan Newman will get the pole. In his 12 starts here, 7 have started from pole position.

Who are you picking for the win?
