It's really going to be chaos over there . Pit crews will have to be split up to spread some experience around . Two new crew chiefs apparently , new garage facilities , new everything . There won't be any communication between teams because they won't know who to trust . Zippy's job will be to pull it all together and how happy is he ? Compare that to a smooth , well oiled, and experienced Hendrick machine . I don't see how it can come together for at least two full years .I guess the one thing they have going for them is veteran drivers , but that ain't helping JTG or Ganassi.
 
They still will have Hendrick power. I expect them to struggle early on but get it together and get at least one driver in. RCR is the team that will be in trouble next year. EGR won't have anyone in the chase either. So between Hendrick, Gibbs, Roush, MWR, Penske and SHR will all be fighting for chase spots.

Agreed. I think Stewart will finish around 15th in points next year, but Kurt Bush will snag 3 or 44 wins and finish 6th in the chase -- Harvick will get one and finish 10th.
 
I think my bold prediction for next season might be Kurt finishing ahead of the rest of SHR in points... either that or Joey wins the championship. :p

And of course your dream prediction for 2014, at this point, would have to be:

Logano repeats as Sprint Cup Champion.

btw SB, kudos to you for stickin' with your guy through thick and thin.

Now, just try not to let his current success go to your head. :D

I would love it for my prediction to be for him to repeat .. that would mean he won it this year lol.

..and thanks.. I always have, I really do think he'll be a champion.

The recent success is nice tho.. 20 more points than any other driver over the last 5 races... If they can do that 2 more times... championship! lol.. no but one of the things I really like is that they don't seem focused on the championship, they're mission from Daytona was just to make the chase. Kyle Petty was sayin yesterday that when he talks to him it doesn't sound like he thinks he can go compete with Jimmie and those guys for a championship.. but that he can make the chase and sort of be the Brad K of a couple years ago when he went out on a tear at the end of the season and finished 5th and came back to win a championship sort of thing.

I thinkif they can keep the good finishes in these next couple races and get in.. they'll get up a few more spots by the end.
 
My bold prediction is everybody can't make the chase . Sitting outside the top twelve right now are Gordon, Truex, Newman ,Hamlin, and Stewart to name just five . So guys like Stenhouse , Larson and Allmendinger have got to climb over those guys just to compete with better guys for a chase birth.

Why is Thegroundpounder99 eliminated already? Kurt made the Chase, and he could still win 2 races. His prediction doesn't say whether he'd win those races before the Chase.

You're right. My bad. Haven't had my coffee yet. I think that I was reading that as him winning two races to qualify for the Chase.

Corrected.
 
I'm getting to work on my blame list for reasons why my prediction didn't pan out. I'm starting with Logano trying to kill Hamlin at California. Stay tuned.
 
I predict that one night while camping @Loudon ,I'll get blind stinking drunk .Preferably Wednesday when I arrive. Then I'll be all set on drinking for the year. Mrs. Miler shows up on Friday just to keep me in check!!!Another top bold one:
Kasey Kahne wins @ Loudon.
 
Bold prediction: FRR lets Ricky Craven drive their machine for the last 10 races and shows Clint a piece of his mind.
