Preview: Who Will Make the Chase for the Sprint Cup in 2012?

The 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is shaping up to be another fantastic year. One can only hope for a repeat of a championship battle like the one in 2011.

[Manic depressive]

Hopefully some new faces sick of the same drivers every yr. JMO

[what]

some of the old faces deserve to be in it

[debrobeaudean]

Tony
Ryan
Jr
Kevin
Kasey K
Paul Menard
Kurt Busch
Kyle Busch
ummm.. let me think.. who else??
oh yeah... Matt K and Carl
THAT'S IT!!!! no more whiney babies.. just REAL RACERS this year

[Grogan]

I would like to see some new faces like Clint Bowyer and Greg Biffle get in the mix a little more than last year.

[debrobeaudean]

Biffle YES.. Bowyer.. NO... Bowyer is a guy who has no scrupples and looka for an advantage, non racing, in order to steal a win,, this is FACT.. he has said so himself.
see,, racing is a "just" sport in series lower than NASCAR... it honestly is and it is a pity that big money has put strategy in the drivers seat rather than out and out racing.

[debrobeaudean]

to take back any integrity that NASCAR fakes having.. if they TOOK wins BACK from cheaters,, who were caught cheating and the entire world knows it,, take BACK the money and trophy and give the guy LAST place.. after start and parks even.. THAT is when NASCAR would win BACK its integrity..to have a champion who was caught cheating makes NASCAR a joke.

Well lets see NASCAR would have to all the way back to the very beginning. What people on here refuse to understand pushing the limits is part of the history of the sport.And more importantly what adjustments Chad has made really R petty. Considering what was done back in the day .J/S

Deb this is why know one can take U seriously . You have been bitching & whining for years for the same thing Boyer stated (honestly it is a pity that big money has put strategy in the drivers seat rather than out and out racing.)You have threatened to stop going to the races for this same reason. And I will go on record that I agree with Boyer. it was a lot more fun watching a race with flat out racing was more exciting then pit strategy.

Would love to see some new blood and maybe some of these new pairings will bring some new blood and excitement.Personally I can go to my grave at peace if JJ/chad never winning another race or championship. Still the president of the anyone but Jimmy club.

Jeff Burton
JR
Tony
Jimmie

how could I have forgetton about BRAD??????...Brad instead of Kurt on my list since Kurt now drives for a guy who has had to cheat to qualify his car... miracles do not happen without the aid of NASCAR. and NASCAR does Kurt NO favors, like keeping pesky loser reporters out of his face after his car broke on lap 6 of the last race of the year..Notice... Jimboob and Jeffro are STILL not on my list!!!!

[Ditto Head]

Jimmie Johnson
Denny Hamlin
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Tony Stewart
Jeff Gordon
Carl Edwards
Ryan Newman
Jamie McMurray
Kasey Kahne
Matt Kenseth

[Ditto Head]

Oh, yeah and

Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch

especially since Danica is only PART TIME... would she coud she make it is dhe WON every race she was in??? LOL could NASCAR make THAT happen?? if it paid they could and would

[Carolyn]

Well, Danica thinks she can win the Daytona 500. We'll wait and see if she does.

[ruttrosmokesmojo]

Well JMO but for NASCAR to have any kind of integrity they would have to treat all drivers the same. They do not. 5 drivers can have the same rule infraction and they will get 5 different punishments. Integrity comes with treating everyone the same and being consistent with rules and rule violations allows to team to know the risk of going down that road.

[ruttrosmokesmojo]

JMO If NASCAR wants integrity the France family would need to step down and a impartial group would need to take over. We all know that will never happen Bill and Bill Sr had integrity... the current group not so much. JMO but celebrity rehab would have a show with that group.... would you watch dr drew if they went??? LOL
