Bench Racing's 2010 Predictions

Here is the second annual, underwhelming, less than stellar, aluminum-standard, 2010 NASCAR predictions from TMC and Bank Truck:

Daytona 500 winner:
  • BT: Kasey Kahne
  • TMC: Dang, that was a good 'un. Might make a Petty/Ford out of him yet. Rather than echo BT, I'll pick Smoke.
Cup Champ
  • BT: GoGrandDaddy Mark Martin
  • TMC: Denny Hamlin, bad ACL and all
Chasers:

BT -
  1. 5 - Mark Martin
  2. 14 - Smoke
  3. 99 - Cuzzin
  4. 24 - Gordo
  5. 29 - Happy
  6. 48 - 4x champ and dad-to-be
  7. 9 - Kasey Kahne
  8. 17 - Kenseth
  9. 11 - Opie
  10. 18 - Rowdy
  11. 2 - Rowdy's brother, the Lite version
  12. 42 - The Columbian Target
TMC -
  1. JJ - ya think?
  2. Gordon - Jeff that is. Robby? Uh, not so much.

  4. Smoke
  5. Cuzzin Carl
  6. Hamlin
  7. Rowdy
  8. The Biff
  9. Kurt Busch
  10. Kasey
  11. Martin T-Rex Truex
  12. JoLo
Underachiever

  • TMC: Brian Vickers, Clint Bowyer
Overachiever
  • BT: JoLo
  • TMC: Marcos Ambrose
Most Improved
  • BT: Kevin Harvick

Penthouse to Outhouse
  • BT: Greg Biffle, Brian Vickers
  • TMC: Ryan Newman, David Reutimann
Rookie of the Year
  • BT: Who cares
  • TMC: Danica
Other NASCAR Nostradamus Nuggets
  • BT: KHI merges with Stewart Haas to become Stewart Harvick Racing, adds Harvick as 3rd cup car with Bass Pro Shops, brings full Nationwide and Truck operation with him
  • TMC: (1) Kasey Kahne re-signs with Richard Petty Motorsports. (2) No viable Cup rookies emerge, and Danica runs second half of Cup season as an uncontested ROTY candidate.
TMC's will/won't he win a race?
  • Martin Truex Jr. in his new ride with MWR - Won't
  • A.J. Allmendinger - Will
  • Ryan Newman - Won't
  • Clint Bowyer - Won't
  • Kevin Harvick - Will
  • Jeff Burton -Won't
  • Dale Jr. - Will

  1. After 2010, RPM doesn't exsist after Kahne takes Bud with him to Todd Braun's full time Cup effort.
