I’m a bit out of the loop but this was my thinking. I think Jr. is going to have a big year and Hendrick will continue to dominate. Bowyer was undervalued for a guy who finished third in points last year, Toyota is going to have a bounce back with a year of experience, and the cheap guys have all won in other places, and for the most part, just need to stay out of trouble. If they just finish, I should be okay.

I also enjoy that I should be the only person in my family to choose both Jr. and Gordon, which will drive my sister nuts.
