Since it is clear to everyone across the nascar realm..that there will be new rules that restrict the cup boys in the NNS series. NNS may actually have a NNS champion... last time that happened was Martin Truex in 05... and he was still part of a cup affiliate team. Last time a NNS team and NNS driver won was 2000 with Jeff Green (and he had already ran 2 years in cup before coming back down)... so this year we may see something rare... because of this everyone is placing bets on which driver and team for that matter will win the Nationwide championship... There is a lot of brewing talent in this series.. with no clear cut stand out due to multiple team changes, sponsor woes, and just in general being bogged down by cup regulars. So who do you guys think will win?
Trevor Bayne
Elliot Sadler
Steve Wallace
Michael Annet
Justin Algaier
Brain Scott
Ryan Truex
Colin Braun
Aric Almirola
Ricky Stenhouse ???? ( he may not have a full time ride this year)
Morgan Sheppard.. (yes I said it Sheppard..but this year he will have the remains of the RCR program..so he does have some decent equipment to drive this year)
Reed Sorenson
Jason Leffler
Mike Bliss
Eric Mclure
there are other drivers... but these are the ones with the team and sponsors..that have a legitimate shot at winning. So who is your pick to finally get their moment in the spotlight...personally I want to say Aric, Reed, and Elliot are the ones to beat...but I think Bayne and Leffler will give them a run for their money before the bigger budget teams finally beat them down.
