Ok. Its not that I think I know it all. Just going by the way drivers are at the present.
1. Kyle "Shrub" Busch #18 easy pick.
2. Jeff Burton #31 Suttle but like Mark Martin there when it counts.
3. June Bug #88 he is doing what needs to be done with good cars that dont break...
4. Carl "Flipper" Edwards #99 The guy is getting all his ducks in a row. He has been winning.
5. Jeff Gordon #24 I hope the #24 team can hold it together and be willing to take a chance at a win or two.
6. Greg Biffle #16 The guy is proving he is the right choice for the "Cat in th Hat"
7. Clint "JackMan" Boyer #07 Yea he is bring the Ohh#7 back in the fight.
8. Tony "Smoke" Stewart He wants to leave gibbs on great turms. He will win before the chace.
9. J.J. #48 why so far back. I think him and Chad will stumble in the heat of the summer.
10. Matt "The Brat" Kenseth #17. I dont know he has a championship car and team this year. But looks like with Robbie gone they are getting it together.
11. Brian "I know he aint there yet" Vickers. He would be here if at Charlottoe he wouldn't have lost that tire. He is having a career year. He will give RedBull its first win soon.
12. Its a toss up. Kahne#9 I know he was hot. He cooled quick. Hamlin #11 stumblin over his own two feet. Harvick #29 If he would stop trying to come from 5th or 6th to win a race that is to far out of reach. These three cars and teams will be fighting it out at Richmond.
It will be a good race. I will not predict who will get it. Only the team and driver that step up to the plate and hit it out of here will make 12th. I know I will enjoy watching the races to get there. I hope you enjoy it as much as Noah and I.
Good analysis on the 12th spot. I'd like to think Newman will be in that mix with Harvick, Kahne, Hamlin and Vickers. Truex Jr could also be in position to fight for that spot. Of course, one could add David Ragan to the mix too.
Pretty good choices. I do think Biffle is a little too high on your list. He runs great, but doesn't measure up in the finishes. Believe he is in the 10th-13th category.
Bowyer is also struggling for finishes.
Kahne will be in comfortably after Chicago, Pocono, Indy, Michigan and California. Think those are all top-five's. If he finishes Daytona and Watkins Glen there is no way he won't make the chase. Will run well enough at Loudon, Bristol and Richmond.
Pop, I would probably faint if Jeff Burton could pull off a championship!LOL He's been a favorite of mine for ever, but I fear he will end up like Mark Martin. (I must be the only person on the face of the Earth that doesn't like Mark Martin.)
Well I am a Father of an awsome 9 yearold junior flaggman. Together we are the biggest racefans. We have an awsome diecast collection and love to get to any races we can. I became a fan with my mother, and now my son with me. I work full time as a machinist, and father. This will be something new and enjoyable, I will also get my sons view and let you no that as well. Well now about the teams and drivers we like. I am a Hendrick fan #24 preferably, and Noah my son Roush and the #17. So last spring was fun when we went to Bristol.
