2011 Nascar Predictions

Here are my predictions for 2011 Champions

Truck Series Champion


Austin Dillon. I think this is going to be a title fight between both Todd Bodine and Dillon. Austin Dillon had a really good rookie year even winning two races and finishing 5th in points . That experience last year will help him win the Camping World Truck Series championship for Richard Childress Racing.

Nationwide Series Champion


Elliott Sadler. When Nascar made the rule this year in which you can only earn driver points in one series it changed the total complexion of this championship battle. The main players will be Elliott Sadler, Justin Allgaier, Jason Lefler, Aric Almirola, and Trevor Bayne. I think Sadler will give KHI its first drivers championship for a couple reasons. For one thing, KHI has great equipment which was proven by how good Harvick did last year. Also, Sadler has got to be on cloud nine after getting away from the RPM mess he went thru last year. He proved he could win in KHI equipment last year when he won the first even truck race at Pocono. For these reasons I believe that he will win the nationwide title.

Daytona 500 Champion


This right here is a toss up. Every year the contenders for the 500 include about 30 drivers. But this year its even more unpredictible with the new pavement and the two car draft phenomenon. The Bud Shootout showed us how crazy fast these two car drafts are and if dont have a partner you are toast. Because of the high speeds nascar made some changes to the cooling systems so we do not know what effect that will have on the two car drafts. The driver I am picking to win the Daytona 500 is Kyle Busch. He always has a fast plate car so one of these years he has got to win the 500. One things for sure I can not wait till Sunday!!

Sprint Cup Champion


Denny Hamlin. The easy way out is to pick Jimmie Johnson to win since he has won the last 5 titles. But sooner than later his luck has to run out and someone will beat him. Last year Hamlin came within a few more gallons of fuel at Phoenix from wining the title. The way to beat JJ is to not make any mistakes in the Chase and the 11 team gave the title to JJ with the Phoenix and Homestead races. The way last year ended will serve as motivation for the Fed Ex team and he will be the driver to knock off Jimmie Johnson and the 48 team.
