Well Ford never has more than 8 cars in a race these days (5 Roush, 2 Yates, 1 Gordon). Dodge only has about 9 cars (3 Ganassi, 2 Penske, 2 Petty). Toyota rarely qualifies so don't bother counting them. That means the other 33 cars are all Chevys. When you own 3/4ths of the field, I guess you're supposed to win 3/4ths of the races.

Total in the field is 43 minus the 17.......looks like 26 to me. and that would be on the high side as it excludes the Toyotas and some of Evernham."If you can help others, and fail to do so, your time on earth has been wasted" - Roberto Clemente

NOTE :
Dale Jarrett #44 will race the 1st 5 races of 2008 ONLY
(Dale Jarrett may go home* if Kurt Busch uses the Previous Champion’s Provisional)
*(Dale Jarrett has Previous Champion’s Provisional but Kurt Busch is more recent)
Furthermore if a team can make a Toyota go fast I would put my money on Joe Gibbs Racing ...
plus look at Gibbs drivers, Stewart, Hamlin & Kyle Busch, all very talented & a threat at every race.2008 ESPN Stockcar Challenge MSF Champion :D

There is no way of knowing how many part-time drivers will attempt races.
Of course the part-timers will have to qualify on speed.2008 ESPN Stockcar Challenge MSF Champion :D

To fully understand the significance of the Car Of Tomorrow a person must 1st open their eyes ...
Key Factors regarding the Car Of Tomorrow :
1. the Car Of Tomorrow will be used at EVERY track in 2008 ...
no doubt as the season progresses the performance of the Car Of Tomorrow will improve ...
2. the Car Of Tomorrow levels the playing field by making the stockcar bodys identical ...
gone are the days of gaining an aero advantage by tweaking the body of a stockcar ...
NASCAR has strict guidelines for the stockcar body & they will see they are adhered to ...
3. the Car Of Tomorrow will make the races more about driver talent vs driver talent ...
this is a good thing as the cream will rise to the top with the stockcars being so similar ...
4. a driver can gain an advantage with the Car Of Tomorrow only by having more horsepower ...
however NASCAR will be keeping a close eye on the team's horsepower ...
5. Chassis set-ups will be quite limited in the range the teams can explore ...
strict rules are in place to prevent radical variances between the stockcars ...
NASCAR's goal for the Car Of Tomorrow was to make a safer car ...
NASCAR also wanted to keep the stockcars very closely matched ...
Rick Hendrick has the edge right now but Jack Roush & Joe Gibbs will be in hot pursuit.
you definately shouldn't under-estimate Toyota ...
with the Joe Gibbs' drivers the talent will be there, all they will need is some good horsepower ...
I do think Toyota will the find the horsepower during the off-season ...
look for the coach's drivers to put Toyota solidly into competition in 2008.

I don't see a low budget Chevrolet being able to keep up with the Gibbs' Toyotas !

the CoT has helped to ruin racing, I see 2008 to be an absolute horrible year for Nascar and hopefully Brian and Todd will finally get run out of townBrian France is a violation of Section 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing)
