Continuing my spiel (once again, in no particular order):
- Denny Hamlin, driving the Joe Gibbs Racing #11 FedEx Chevy. The big question at JGR is whether Smoke will share any of the tricks that gave him the 2005 Nextel Cup.
- JJ Yeley, driving the Joe Gibbs Racing #18 Interstate Batteries Chevy. We’re about to find out whether Bobby Labonte really lost his ability to drive.
- Bobby Labonte, driving the Petty Enterprises #43 Cheerios Dodge. Bobby brings Petty the best chance in years to win a race. Unfortunately, both he and the team have lost a lot since 2000.
- Brian Vickers, driving the Hendrick #25 GMAC Chevy. Every team has to have a weak sister; McVickers is Hendrick’s.
- Reed Sorenson, driving the Ganassi #41 Target Dodge. There hasn’t been this much excitement in the Target camp since Jimmy “Mr. Excitement” Spencer punched out Kurt “Rubberhead” Busch.
