Who do you think will be the A List drivers for the 2008 Nextel Cup Season? This is what I think:
1. Jimmie Johnson
2. Jeff Gordon
3. Tony Stewart
4. Matt Kenseth
5. Carl Edwards
6. Dale Earnhardt Jr.
7. Kyle Busch
8. Denny Hamlin
9. Martin Truex Jr.
10. Kevin Harvick
That leaves out:
1. Jeff Burton
2. Clint Bowyer
3. Kasey Kahne
4. Kurt Busch
5. Ryan Newman
6. Greg Biffle
- Hypothetically, that gives 6 solid B List guys, which will be 54 of the needed 72 B List starts. That doesn’t even include Jamie McMurray, Mark Martin, Casey Mears with Juan Pablo Montoya and Robby Gordon on road courses. It’s pretty obvious that the B-List will be loaded next year.
