I'm not too sure about this year. Will take him and his new Crew Chief some time to click I'd imagine. If they get on the same page from the get go. They could be dangerous. I'm loving the addition of Steve Addington as the Chief. He won't take Kurt's shit like the other Chiefs did. As evident with Kyle's success...he definitely knows what he's doing too.BlueDevil11 wrote: I'm not a fan of him at all, but he seems like he is capable of winning it anytime now.

Everyone at JGR has had success with Kyle, I'm not sure it was mostly Addington.GoChiefs wrote:I'm not too sure about this year. Will take him and his new Crew Chief some time to click I'd imagine.

Addington was responsible for at least 2 or 3 of Kyle's wins in 2008 b/c of some of the gutsy calls he made.pkebker wrote: Everyone at JGR has had success with Kyle, I'm not sure it was mostly Addington.

With the current economy I believe the larger established team will have a big advantage this year.
So for the chase I pick.
3 Hendrick teams- Gordon, Johnson, Martin
3 Roush teams-Biffle, Edwards, Kenseth
2 Gibbs teams- Busch, Hamlin
2 RCR teams- Harvick, Burton, Boyer (Take your pick)
1 Stewart Haus team- Stewart
That leaves 1 spot IMO for:
Jr
Newman
Kurt Busch
Ruetimann
Kayne
McMurray
Vickers
Montoya
1 RCR Team
My 3 contenders- Stewat, Johnson, Kyle Busch(love his win or wreck style)
My sleeper- Biffle
My Heart- Martin
I'm a Gordon fan but he lost his Kyle Busch attitude.

I really don't see a whole lot of changes happening in the chase between last year and this year.
My chase picks are:
Kurt Busch
Jimmie Johnson
Mark Martin
Kyle Busch
Carl Edwards
Tony Stewart
Kevin Harvick
Jeff Gordon
Denny Hamlin
Kasey Kahne
Ryan Newman
and I think the 12th spot will go to either:
Juan Pablo Montoya (Think he's out to prove last year wasn't a fluke) or..believe it or not..Dale Earnhardt Jr (Everyone gets lucky every now and then)

So he's going to improve on last year? If this indeed happens, looks like Mikey is back to being the worst driver in NASCAR.j_crazy wrote: Average miles completed by Robby Gordon on race day: 325.5

He's still running part time in 2010. Truex did indeed join his team...he will be running the #56 Napa Toyota full time.

New Rules. What is your thoughts?
Restricter plate change.
The bump draft is back.(was it really gone?)
Encouraging drivers to police themselves.
Lets get the personality's back in the sport. Get away from the scripted interview and say what you feel. Hopefully this gets the old style rivalry back. Payback on the track etc.. I like it.

Restrictor plate races are almost always the most exciting races of the year. Nascar needs to try to make all the races more exciting, not put lame rules in place to ruin them. I'm glad they are going back to the old way. Now if only they addressed the COT issue. Some minor tweaks can make the cars drive much better...

Jeff doesn't have many years left, so he needs to win it this year

prkebke, they have addressed the COT, in April at Texas the wing will be gone and rear spoilers back on. http://jayski.com/
I'm ready for the Rolex 24 next week. I love those cars. http://www.grand-am.com/
then its out to see the sprints on dirt (see my avatar)
then the big races and maybe a couple nites at New Smyrna
favorite driver: Mark Martin
prediction : 2010 Daytona 500 Champ Tony Stewart
and Tim McGraw will do a few songs before the race

Another rule change.
The rear wing will go back to the spoiler.
This should give teams some more room to adjust the car.
I personally thought the COT was a glorified IROC series.

No room on adjustment on the spoiler. Set at 70 degrees and no changes.

Man those were the good old days when they would hammer the spoiler down until the car was fast.
