Joey or Truex to stay in top 10?

Nascar.com has an article on Joey and Truex being in the top 10 after two races. Which driver is most likely to stay in the to 10 and make the chase? David Caraviello says Truex Jr. should not be counted out as MWR is always a sleeper and big names and experience have been added to MWR this year and this is what Truex Jr. needed, where as Bill Kimm goes with Joey saying this is going to be his break out year with a new crew chief and stating that the #20 car is finally all Joey's also this is a contract year for Joey.

WHATS YOUR PICK?

Update:

SMILEY: Obviously it is to early to tell who is going to be in the top ten or not. This is a hypothetical question, come on intrigue me with your Brilliance.

    This is a tough question. While Joe Gibbs Racing has the equipment to go out and win almost every weekend and has the drivers as well to do that I don't think Michael Waltrip Racing is quite there yet, although they are close. Martin Truex Jr. already made 1 Chase in 2007(Top 10 drivers back then) and if it wasn't for some bad luck he would have better finishes and a couple of wins along the way. Joey Logano really has been solid, but except for the last part of 2010 and the rain-shorten win has been a flop in my book. To answer the question I think both have a good chance with luck and wins, but I'll go with Joey Logano based on equipment.

    Both Truex Jr. and Logano can make it into the top 12 for the chase, if they continue to race well (they also need to win again). However, if I had to pick one or the other, it would be Truex Jr. I believe this will be a breakout year for him. I believe he'll win a race or two and end that 160+ race winless streak, get at least 12 top 5's and at least 20 top 10's. Still, Logano could have a similar year as well this year.

    Jimmie Johnson is a sleeper too. Where is he in the points standings?

    Something's wrong with Joey. I like the guy, but something just aint right. Truex likes to ride high and proud out in front, and I think he's more on the edge of his performance. If I had to pick between Joey or Truex staying in the top 10, I would pick Truex

    I'd say Truex. Joey has not impressed me at all the years he's been in Cup. Truex, however, has. He had a bunch of good runs last year, maybe even winning runs, just to be screwed up by something. He also had a good car in Daytona and Phoenix.

    Honestly, history says neither will continue their good runs and make the chase, but I do hope I'm wrong. I would like to see someone other than Hendrick affiliated cars make the chase.

    Neither will stay in the top 10.

    Logano will lose his ride after failing to make the chase once again.

    So impressive to be in the top 10 after 2 whole races!!!!!!! Dumb, just dumb.
