NASCAR Sprint Cup Series

First-time winners: A.J. Allmindinger (only one left) (Well, this is a bust.)
Most wins in a season: 5 wins. Not sure who will do it. But, I don't see it going past 5. (Stewart and Brad both have 3 a piece and we are only halfway through the season.)
Upset of the year: Trevor Bayne wins back to back 500's. I know right? Honestly that would be an upset. (Where is Bayne anyway?)
Disappointments: Jimmie Johnson (though he will make the Chase and probably finish in the top 7) and Dale Jr. (So far, this is a bust.)
Best race of 2012: Daytona 500 and the Ford 400 (I'd say I've got one so far, have to wait for Homestead.)
Worst race of 2012: Any race at Auto Club Speedway (Bingo.)
Retirees at season end: none (Bingo.)
Driver of the year: Brad Keselowski. Maybe not a 3 win season, but he will be in the Chase again. (Well, I was won on the win count, but I think I made the right pick.)
Reject of the year: Some Backmarker ( )
Most likely to lose ride in the middle of the season:Refer to previous answer (refer to previous answer)
Champion:Carl Edwards. Have to go with momentum. (No, so far.)
Runner-up:Tony Stewart or Kevin Harvick. Stewart for the momentum reason. Harvick because he has been there every year.
(Well Stewart seem like a correct choice, don't know about Harvick.)

NASCAR Nationwide Series:

First-time winners: Danica Patrick and I think 2 others. (Didn't name them, but got Buescher and Piquet. Danica, no.)
Most wins in a season: 9, by a cup driver, don't know which one though (Between Kurt and Logano, I think I've got this one.)
Upset of the year: Danica wins Daytona, the July race (More like crashing out of the July race.)
Disappointments: Jason Leffler (Who?)
Best race of 2012: Tie. Daytona and Montreal (Well, I don't know how to call this one.)
Worst race of 2012: Auto Club (So, far, yes.)

Driver of the year: Elliot Sadler, 2 wins and the championship (Well, I've got the win count correct so far. Have to wait on the championship though.)
Reject of the year: Some backmarker
Most likely to lose ride in the middle of the season: Some Turner Motorsports driver (Could be a possibility)
Champion: Elliot Sadler (refer to previous Sadler answer.)
Runner-up: Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (could be a possibility, though I think Dillon is more likely.)

NASCAR Camping World Truck Series:

First-time winners: 3 (So far so good.)
Most wins in a season: 5 (So far Buescher has 2 which is the most but a lot of racing to go.)
Upset of the year: Will be a Daytona, who I don't know (At*. Called this one, maybe not the name but the upset.)
Disappointments: Todd Bodine (Haven't watched much Truck action to call this one right or wrong.)
Best race of 2012: Rockingham (Didn't watch it so I can say for sure.)
Worst race of 2012: Texas (Probably.)
