1] Kurt Busch will do lousy this year in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series, only because he's driving a Dodge, a car he's not accustomed to (Even though, I hear, it'll likely be an Intrepid he's driving).

2] Marcus Ambrose, the Devil Racer, from Austrailia, will stun the country and win the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in fine style.

3] Fernando Alonso looks great in testing, but this year, the race for his title will be closer. Alonso will still be Formula 1 Champion by the end of 2006, but a shocking return to the top by Jacques Villeneuve and Rubens Barrichello will leave Ferrari gasping for air.

4] Also in Formula 1, Honda will win the constructor's title, taking away all of Michael Schumacher's hopes of returning in '07.

5] Valentino Rossi will win yet another Moto GP Title with Yamaha.

6] Denny Hamlin will be in the top 3 of the Busch Series points by November.

7] Patrick Carpentier will win the A1 Grand Prix race at Laguna Seca, automatically raising his status of being a sub-par driver to a Canuck phenom again. Cheever-Red Bull will keep their eyes open on this one.

8] Chip Ganassi will dominate the Indy Car Series, then make the switch back to Champ Car so his guys can drive the Panoz chassis in 2007. (Massive Long Shot)

9] Michael Andretti WILL FINALLY win the INDY 500! (Side bet: Danica will wreck on lap 1, but it won't be her fault.)

10] The Daytona 500 will be won by a Ford. I won't say who's driving it. It might be Elliot Sadler, or it might even be Dale Jarrett again, who knows, it might even be a Roush entry.

And Finally, one I'm sticking my guns to...

Paul Tracy... will win at least 1 Busch Race this season (likely Vegas or Mexico), and become a full-time Truck Series driver in 2007, because Canada will get it's first NASCAR echilon track on the schedule for that year, in the province of Alberta. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!
