Kasey Kahne leads the way for Dodge in 2007
Who do you think is the top Dodge driver? Tell me what you think in the discussion forum.
1. Kasey Kahne (Evernham Motorsports)- Kasey Kahne has emerged as Dodge's poster boy. Expect Kahne to win multiple races and compete in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Chase for the Championship.
2. Kurt Busch (Penske Racing)- Kurt Busch had an off-year in 2006, but I wouldn't expect the same in 2007. Busch will return to victory lane, and possibly Chase the NASCAR Nextel Cup championship.
3. Ryan Newman (Penske Racing)- A couple of years ago, Ryan Newman would have been Dodge's number 1 man hands down, but a sub par 2006 season has tainted the 12 team. However, expect a dramatic turnaround for Newman. He will be back in victory lane, and the Chase for the Championship.
4. Bobby Labonte (Petty Enterprises)- The 2000 NASCAR champion gave Petty Enterprises some decent runs in 2006. Both Labonte and the 43 should improve in their second full season together, but a win would be a pleasant surprise.
5. Elliott Sadler (Evernham Motorsports)- Elliott Sadler may win a race, but a spot in the Chase for the Championship is unlikely.
6. Scott Riggs (Evernham Motorsports)- Scott Riggs will be one of the few first-time winners in 2007.
7. Reed Sorenson (Chip Ganassi Racing)- The 21 year old Georgia boy is Chip Ganassi's top gun this year. Expect Reed Sorenson to improve upon his rookie season.
8. Kyle Petty (Petty Enterprises)- Kyle Petty's driving career is reaching it's conclusion. Expect him to retire after the 2007 season.
9. David Stremme (Chip Ganassi Racing)- It's time for David Stremme to show some signs of improvement.
10. Juan Pablo Montoya (Chip Ganassi Racing)- Montoya will not be an overnight success in NASCAR Nextel Cup, but I wouldn't expect him to be listed as the 10th best Dodge for very long either.
