And the winners.....

U.S. Army looking to be strong this weekend in Chicago

It's on to Chicago.
The NHRA POWERade Series tour, after a weekend in Topeka, heads to one of the top tracks on the circuit - Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, Ill.
The track usually features some of the top times and speeds on the circuit, but conditions will tell the story this weekend.
Here's who I like to wind up kissing a Wally on Sunday afternoon:
Top Fuel - Tony Schumacher...look for the U.S. Army team to come through in Schu's home town.
Funny Car - Tony Pedregon...he's run well in Chicago before, and he usually follows a first-round loss with a solid performance at the next race. I say he does it again.

Pro Stock - Jeg Coughlin Jr. ...Jeggie hasn't done much since winning at the Gators and a runnerup at Pomona, but it's time for the yellow and black to go the distance on Sunday.

Now it's your turn to pick the winners?
