Sometimes it helps to have anyone that will cooperate with you as a "team player".

Smart idea but is that what racing is all about?

I agree, but big picture may be a bit better for Daytona. Top 20 and drive it to the hauler is a good start to the year.

Never mind a top 20. Anything other than a top 10 would be hard to take after plate results last year.
Go get em !

I see alot of cautions brewing for these duels, Probably not early on, since everyone saw the Bud Shootout, but once it gets within about 25 laps to go...watch out! You'll probably see a bunch of cars get wadded up and have to go to a back up.

Predictions:
Truex will try and win & stay out front, same with Newman
Bill has a good car and might take it easy after he tries the front for a few laps
Almirola is one that might cause some trouble, he's locked in and is looking for additional sponsorship
Jeff will be trying to run with Truex & Newman for the win
Labonte & Menard has good cars, but still trying to find more speed in the draft
Kyle will be gunning for the win and might take out a few trying
Speed will get dumped a few times as he gets drafting lessons
Joe will be fighting for a tranfer spot, he'll tuck in up front and try to hang on
Joey will continue to find the wall at Daytona, he'll also get schooled in drafting
Kenseth will be a mid pack runner and try to make it in one piece
Denny might be the loose cannon to watch for, thinks he's the lead dog at JGR now
Regan will continue to try to run up front and find trouble again
Sadler will make a late charge but it might cost him
Burton has a good car, but does he risk it or save it?
Vickers will be like Hamlin & Busch...pushing his luck and not thinking big picture
AJ has to go...wreckers or well transfer...he'll make it interesting
Brad will be another rookie biting off more than he can chew...welcome to the Big League
Robby will try the draft a few laps and see if he can run up front if he does then he'll drop to the back
Stremme will be trying to find anyone that will push him forward
Mayfield will be close, but will probably push too much and end his day on a flat bed
Kirk will make it to mid pack and find a hand full of trouble...wrecks
Raines will have a shot at the transfer spot, but will depend on his early moves if he's in position in the end
Harvick has a strong car, doubt he pushes it too much, probably rides with Robby watching the show
Cope will likely end up behind the wall, doubt he has teh equipment to pull off the upset
Bires won't be afraid to push the envlope, however it will bite him and send him home with a wrecked race car
Bodine won't be factor, looses the draft and a spot in the show
