Just got this shirt, can't wait for the season to start

So apparently, Joey Logano isn't the only recently married driver. Take a guess at who also got hitched one week after:

 
To be honest, I don't see a Toyota driver winning a championship. At least not anytime soon. The Toyotas always seem to come up just short when they need to do best.
I hate it, but it is true. I am big Hamlin fan. I also have liked Carl Edwards over the years so I am glad to see him at JGR this season. I just like JGR in general actually. XD

My predictions for this season are as follows:
- Larson wins 2 races and finishes top 4 in standings.
- Harvick gets 3 wins, but is not consistent over the season.
- Hamlin wins Daytona 500, providing his car stays healthy enough to compete.
- Kyle Busch gets one win and is at Texas.
- Johnson slumps a bit.
- Edwards does well learning the new equipment and will do even better in 2016.
- Kenseth wins the Championship.

I predicted early in the thread that JGR does well. With the new rules I don't see why not. They were down on hp last year. I also hope someone from JGR wins the championship to make my collectables more valuable lol. I need an Edwards in the collection. The few, the proud. The JGR fans.

Right on man!

I would honestly put my final standings prediction, but it would judged biased because I am a JGR guy. Haha. To be completely honest, I think JGR is on a climb right now. I think the final 4 will have two JGR drivers with Edwards being top 8 contender.

It seems drivers do well on their first season with a new team. Kenseth 2013, Harvick 2014 etc. I think Edwards will have a breakout season like Kenseth did. New rules, 4 cars. Definitely on a climb. We'll see.
 
These cars might drive more like Busch/Nationwide/Xfinity cars than ever before with the reduced power levels. It would make sense to see JGR do very well, considering how strong their cars are in the second-tier series.
 
BK Racing is announcing tomorrow that Jeb Burton will be the full-time driver of the #26.

In all honesty, I think there's going to be a lack of competitive young drivers in coming in future seasons if BK Racing keeps snagging up fresh talent. They're a very mediocre team, and while them signing these drivers is good for them, it puts a dent in the younger drivers' careers as they'll barely be noticed by any of the bigger teams, and will likely be out of luck if they don't make an impression during their time with BK Racing.
