Other recent winners include Mark Martin, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kurt Busch, Matt Kenseth, and Kasey Kahne.  <\/p>\n<p>Greg Biffle won back-to-back here in August &#8217;04 and June &#8217;05.  Kahne scored the pole for Sunday&#8217;s race with Jimmie Johnson in P2.  <\/p>\n<p>It has been warm and muggy at MIS this weekend and Sunday&#8217;s forecast calls for a chance of rain and thunderstorms.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Safe Bets:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Tony Stewart (10\/1):<\/strong>  Stewart qualified fourth for Sunday&#8217;s race and was ninth in practice Friday.  He has one previous win at MIS (2000) and finished fifth here in June, but said the Hendrick engines are strong this weekend.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Greg Biffle (14\/1):<\/strong>  Biffle had a third-place finish at Indy and won at Pocono a few weeks ago before struggling at Watkins Glen last week.  He has two wins at MIS and qualified sixth after running fifth in practice. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Dark Horse:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Clint Bowyer (22\/1):<\/strong> Bowyer qualified third for Sunday&#8217;s race and was 13th-fastest in practice Friday.  He finished eighth in this race last year.  Bowyer is fighting hard to hang on to the final Chase berth for 2010.                               <a href=\"http:\/\/record.partners.betus.com\/_zzar6WLC4ykDVkvPM80nyagaAKfXWndM\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"width: auto; height: auto; margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/media.partners.betus.com\/BANNERS\/racing\/sportsbook_AutoRacing_250X250_mybanner.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Summary<\/strong>:  There were a number of surprises in qualifying Friday, including Denny Hamlin in 33rd, Jeff Gordon in 36th, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. in 38th &#8211; all previous Michigan winners.
