I'd add Aric Amirola and JRM Navy driver Brian Ksvbgksi (whatever his name is -- he needs to talk to Vanna about buying a vowel). I could even make an argument that Amirola would be #1.
Almirola has a Cup ride for part of the season next year in either the 01 or possibly even the 8 so you can't argue with that. Keselowski is up and coming too.
Well, YOU said taking the top-43 in Cup points out, so that would have to include Almirola, since he only has the one Cup start. Especially if you DO include Wimmer and Mike Wallace, because those guys are ahead of Almirola in the Cup standings.
Here's MY list, going by YOUR criteria as far as who to include, but using my points. (Also, I *know* your favorite driver is con####uously absent. We can just agree his car is made of poo and move on, right? :) )
1. Scott Wimmer
2. Jason Leffler
3. Brad Coleman
4. Aric Almirola
5. Regan Smith (Can I please drive this week?)
6. Stephen Leicht
7. Marcos Ambrose
8. Shane Huffman (Will drive for food.)
9. Jason Keller
10. Mike Bliss
How about Aric Almirola? That guy can race. I saw him race the Busch race in Milwaukee(before he was pulled in favor of Hamlin). He was doing a great job.
