I wish Stewart-Haas hadn't switched to Ford. BTW I am calling my shot early, Chase Elliott will win the championship this year

Emotional/loyalty pick, or do you have some inside scoop?

Damn. That NASCAR offseason doesn't last very long.

I'm not sure there really is for the teams. Like other sports, these folks may take a vacation during the off-season, but it's not any longer than a couple of weeks, then it's back to work.

No inside scoop, I just think he has the best equipment and I think he is a very good driver, he has the temperament to win as well.

Well good luck to him then... Lord knows HMS has great equipment, so he should never be left wanting for ponies or a decent race-day setup.

Hamilton will regain the title after having it stolen from him last year.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. retires after this year to focus on business.

Yeah!!!! New thread...

Thanks, GloryDayz...
