Just wondering once Hendricks and Gibbs take the first six spots with :

Johnson

Gordan

Jr.

Stewart

Hamlin

Kyle Bush

Who do you think will fight their way into remaining six positions?

In no particular order...

Jimmie Johnson

Jeff Gordon

Tony Stewart

Kyle Busch

Carl Edwards

Matt Kenseth

Kurt Busch

Clint Bowyer

Jeff Burton

Martin Truex Jr

Ryan Newman

Denny Hamlin

I'm not sold on my last two yet. Newman might have things turned around and return to his 2003 form of 8 wins. Hamlin is a great driver. So far, it looks like the final 10 races from 2007 have carried over to 2008.

I don't know if Hendrick will cure all for Junior this year. That is the place for him to be. However, Eury Jr will forever hold him back. Until they part ways, he won't be a contender.

starting to look like:

3 Hendricks

JR , Gordan, Johnson

3 Gibbs

Stewart, Hamlin, Shrub

3 RCR

J. Burton, Harvick, Boyer

3 Rousch

Biffle, Edwards, Kenseth

Newman on his way out. Think Edwards will be back in next week followed by Kenseth. So for Kahne to stay in someone has to go. If Shrub doesn't settle down he'll plummet

You won't have to worry about Kyle. He'll make the Chase, but his driving style won't win him the championship. You need to win, but you also need to finish. The truck race was a great example. In the Cup series, be happy with 3rd, you know the 2nd place guy isn't going to roll over for you.3

Don't count out Kirk Busch yet. Remember how good he was around the second Pocono last year? Kahne probably won't make it. If he does, he won't be a contender.

You may be right about Kurt. Switching owner points with Hornish Jr. and having to start 36 at Bristol with Qualifying rained out didn't do the five time winner there any favors. Twice the races were started by points and he should have started closer to front had he used his own points from last year.
