It's another new season! Everyone is tied for the lead in points and everyone is still in the race to the Chase (at least for now).

Let's hear some predictions...

- Who will take the pole at Daytona?

- Who wins the season opener (the 500)?

- Who will win how many races?

- Who will win the Cup?

- What team will field the champions car?

- Which manufacturer will win the most races?

- Who will win the most poles?

- Which crew chief will get the first suspension?

Let's have some fun with this!

Good picks! But your disclaimer really applies to my pick's as well. I don't root for any of the ones on my list except JR.

Obviously, you have your eye on Joey Logano to do well in his upcoming season. Having seen what he could do in several other series that he has
raced, makes me want to watch him this year, too. I just hope he doesn't do anything in the cup series like he did last month at the All-Star Showdown at Irwindale. I saw his potential when he won the October, 2007 All-Star Showdown in the Grand National Division.

I think his rookie year is going to be very similar to Denny Hamlins...a strong start and a few wins.
I didn't hear anything about the showdown last month. What happened?
