The rest: Who Cares?


I'm going to add my own categories for the heck of it. Drivers to watch, either for vast improvement of occasional upsets, Most expected moment(s), for obviously obvious reasons, and I'm Calling it, less likely things I think will happen

Drivers to watch (all series): Nelson Piquet, Ricky Carmichael, Ricky Stenhouse, Austin Dillon, Marcos Ambrose, every former open wheel driver, Danica Patrick (not that we have a choice No )
Most Expected (all series): Way too much Danicamania, way too much Jr-mania, Ryan Newman will crash out of 3 of the plate races, Kyle Busch's immaturity will cause him to do poorly in the chase, Jimmie Johnson will rape the field and break 60 career wins, Robby Gordon will inexplicably crash into people throughout the season, NASCAR will penalize a start-&-park team for something it lets Hendrick blatantly get away with, more two-by-two drafting, Pocono is even more boring at 400 miles
I'm Calling it (all series): Someone flips at a non-plate track, Danica nearly wins and that overshadows the upset winner, Austin Dillon wins some race at Daytona in the #3 and nobody will shut up about it,

-Vettel wins 3rd straight f1 title.
- Danica will get WAY TOO MUCH air time and she will get all the attention at the Daytona 500
- We are desisted to have a very boring indy 500, this year might be it.
- JOsh wise will run UnContested for ROTY unless Cole Whitt decides he wants to run or David Starrs Team goes Full Time or Rusty decides he wants steven to fail badly in cup


I'll have the UNOFFICIAL DAYTONA 500 Entry List Up Later.

Most wins in a season: Kyle Busch, Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards & Kevin Harvick (each with 4)
Upset of the year: not sure if there will be one, but if there is one... Danica Patrick winning at Daytona (hoping its not the 500, but who knows)
Disappointments: MWR (even with Bowyer & Martin, I see them struggling right out of the get go), Front Row (same goes with them, especially with Ragan)
Best race of 2012: This is always a toss-up, especially after all the great races last year, but right now for me. The 500.
Worst race of 2012: Again another toss-up, but right now for me its gotta be Fontana.
Retirees at season end: I don't see any calling it after this year.
