2012 Predictions

I know its really, REALLY early but I'm bored as hell atm and usually this time of year I make this type of post so here goes.. Lets posts our 2012 Predictions! CTS, NW and Cup if you want. You can just post your top 5 or 10 in points whatever lol anyway here are mine..

CWTS:

2012 Champion: Johnny Sauter, 3 wins, 9 top 5's, 17 top 10's

Rest of top 5 in points

2. James Buescher
3. Cole Whitt
4. Nelson Piquet Jr
5. Ron Hornaday

Other predictions

Cole Whitt will win two races (if he decides to run the trucks series again)
James Buescher will finally get to victory lane
Nelson Piquet Jr will win 3 races. Yes, I said 3.
Joey Coulter and Parker Kligerman will also be among the first time winners next season.

NW:

2012 Champion: Elliott Sadler, 3 wins, 15 top 5's, 26 top 10's

Rest of top 5

2. Justin Allgaier
3. Aric Almirola
4. Brian Scott
5. Austin Dillon

Kenny Wallace wins a race
Danica Patrick wins a race at Daytona
Brian Scott wins two races
Austin Dillon gets a win


CUP Series

2012 Cup Series Champion: Kevin Harvick

Rest of Chasers (No specific order)

2. Jimmie Johnson
3. Denny Hamlin
4. Kasey Kahne
5. Tony Stewart
6. Kyle Busch
7. Paul Menard
8. Brad Keselowski
9. Dale Earnhardt Jr
10. Carl Edwards
11. Marcos Ambrose
12. Jeff Gordon

Other predictions:

Regan Smith wins the Daytona 500
Kasey Kahne gets first win of season at Darlington, picks up 2 more victories during the season
Paul Menard wins another race and makes the chase
Dale Earnhardt Jr will finally get back to victory lane and win a race not on fuel mileage or a Superspeedway
Marcos Ambrose wins two races, one on an oval.
Denny Hamlin gets back to form
Keselowski continues to improve and becomes a sure thing
Kevin Harvick whoops ass in the Rheem car

I believe we will FINALLY get another photo finish next season on a non Superspeedway. Its been way to many years since we've had one on a non plate track but I believe next year will be the year of finishes.

I think James Buescher picks up the Truck championship, especially if he runs like he did this year (and he'll make all of the races this time lol). I do agree that Sauter will be a force again.

Nwide I think the champion will get 2 wins tops, but I am not sure who it will be. Could be Sadler, could be Allgaier.

Cup is hard to tell, I think Brad K will be good as long as Penske doesn't screw him over by throwing Wolfe with Kurt (assuming Kurt stays, which I think he will). Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick, and Jeff Gordon might contend for the championship with Carl leading the regular season standings again. Matt Kenseth I can see also contending for the championship, too.

CWTS:

2012 Champion James Buescher - 3 wins, 10 top 5's, 20 top 10's

2nd Johnny Sauter - 2 wins
3rd Timothy Peters - 2 wins
4th Cole Whitt - 1 win
5th Justin Lofton - 1 win
6th Parker Kligerman - 1 win
7th Nelson Piquet Jr. - 1 win
8th Joey Coulter - 1 win
9th Ty Dillon - 0 wins
10th Ron Hornaday - 1 win

James Buescher is just too consistent to not win the championship next year. It'll be close for the rest of the top 10, though.
