Drivers to watch

It's under an hour until the start of the Bank of America 500, so here's a look at three drivers to watch in tonight's race.

Jimmie Johnson: What's not to like about Johnson at Charlotte? Sure, he finished 37th in May, but you can't doubt Johnson with his previous record at this track. He has only one win at Charlotte since 2005, but still has amassed six career wins at the 1.5 mile oval. Expect Johnson to be a big factor in tonight's race.

Kurt Busch: Can you say domination? Busch dominated in May, winning the Sprint All-Star Race and the Coca-Cola 600 in impressive fashion. With a win tonight, Busch can become the first driver ever to sweep all three Charlotte races in one season.

Jeff Gordon: Is tonight the night the Dupont Chevrolet will finally roll into victory lane? There's a pretty good chance. Gordon has five career victories at Charlotte and will be starting on the pole for the first time in 2010. Gordon won this race back in 2007 and has four top-10 finishes in his last six starts at Charlotte.
