Who's Making the Chase?

[Hoss Ghoul]

I didn't see a thread about this all offseason. So, here's my take. Feel free to thrown your top 12 out, but don't wait too long.

J. Gordon
J. Johnson
D. Earnhardt
T. Stewart
M. Kenseth
D. Hamlin
K. Busch
K. Busch
M. Truex
G. Bifle
K. Harvick
C. Bowyer

Other very possible: R. Newan and J. Burton

I think I will wait a while. One race does not a season make! ;)

True, but waiting does not a prediction make. That is the point of this thread after all. Not looking for finishing order, just 12 guys to make the chase.

My picks, with J. Gordon to win it all.

J. Gordon
J. Johnson
D. Earnhardt
T. Stewart
M. Kenseth
D. Hamlin
K. Busch
K. Busch
R. Newman
G. Bifle
C. Mears

First post for a while, having been across at Daytona but the 12 chasers may look something like this:-

Carl Edwards
Tony Stewart
Jimmie Johnson
Jeff Gordon
Rowdy Busch
Jeff Burton
Matt Kenseth
Kasey Kahne
Kurt Busch
Denny Hamlin
Dale Earnhardt Jr
Brian Vickers

Vickers may be a surprise but if he can make the next three races he has shown enough so far to show he can do very well.

[Smilieangel489]

HAHA...I really wanted to put him in there. In fact I did have him in there, but I thought about it and I don't know. It's only been 2 races and he has run great, but we all know he is crazy inconsistent and I think there are so many good drivers. Plus, I don't want to jinx him haha!!
