...well, gonna go out on a limb here and say that one of the fastest Dodges will win. It will be red and have one of my favorite flavors of beer on the side. Budweiser will again be in victory circle with Kasey Kahne.

Championship prediction will be Kevin Harvick in the #29 Shell/Pennzoil RCR car. :cool:

Think Jr will get 3 wins this season

Hendricks reign is over in Cup (or whatever they are gonna call it)

Hope that Aarons dream machine wins the other title (the old Cup car league)

I got to agree with the 500 winner possibly being KK, but Smoke is going to be tough to beat. Not sure I agree with the rest of your predictions, but anymore it is just a wild guess with so many good teams.

I would have to say Smoke will win the championship this year.

I like the 500, but the twin 125's and the Bud Shootout are my favorites. Luckily this year we have PTC's on Thursday so I will get to watch them live.

As for the winner of the Shootout, I would have to say Mark Martin will be the winner. I just do not have any idea about the 125's. They are just too hard to call, but I would like to see Michael Waltrip win one of them.

Tony is the man but, I am not convinced that even Joe Gibbs can bring the Toyota program into the winners circle. It will be interesting to see. Maybe they will get a couple.

I would not underestimate Joe Gibbs Racing. I think if anyone can do, they can and they have one heck of a driver. Pound for pound I think Tony Stewart if the best all around driver out there. And the best thing about him is that he does not pander to the interviewers. You got to respect someone who tells it like it is.

Skippy,

Have to agree with you on Smoke, Tony could jump in a pizza delivery van and win races so I look for the Yotas to be tough this year as much as it hurts to say as I bleed Chevrolet orange.

Jr has no excuses this year and I hope he proves himself.

Hope this years cup series is not boring.

Oh Skyler is rooting for Hamlin and Kinser as always, it's the 11 number thing.

I'm going to be attending the Dual 150's and the Nationwide race. Looking forward to that next week.

As for Daytona, I'm going with Tony also. Toyota has power and the COT has very much eliminated the advantage the other makes had in wind tunnel testing. The best draft driver (Tony, Dale Jr. or Jeff Gordon) will win this race as long as that person can stay out of trouble.

I expect the Champion to come out of the Hendrick stable again. Hendrick's COT dominance will continue for at least another year.

Jr. still has an excuse to give, "New year, new team" but hopefully he won't have to use it much.

I look forward to watching the season unfold, at least until they run at Daytona a second time.

I'm going to go out on a limb with my 500 pick. I'm definately rooting for KK to win. However, my pick is going to be Dave Blaney.

Tonight for the Bud Shootout, going with the #24 of Jeff Gordon.

I also will go with the #24 for the 2008 Sprint Cup.

Its Gonna be SMOKE in 08. I think the dark horse here is in the 500 is Kurt Busch. I think Juan Pablo will win 3 races and make the Chase. I am pulling for anyone but a Hendrick Car, they are stout tho. This is Gibbs' 3rd switch since their existance, (Chevy to Pont. back to Chevy now Toyota) Sorry MIkey Fans I dont think it was all just Toyota, why he wasnt making shows. He was field filler beore DEI and now after.

I was real happy to see Jr. win, after not winning 62 races. Wish Kasy could have done better. He will its early and how can he miss driving the "BUD" car. I would like to get a hold of Mr BUSCH, not the pres, the dilrod racing, I hope NASCAR is on him this year and puts a stop to that BS. AS for Tony's hair, I would be more then happy to cut it, I even know how!
