2008 You might be surprised by.............
 
This thread is about who you think will break out, Upset and probably amaze some people beyond what you think they are capable of.

My first prediction is Arin Macintosh will win a big race this year. She kinda suprised me at Florence as I said she won't go up on the wall and bam, She was flatfooting it like Ballou and the boys :)

Josh Spencer. he surprised me a bit last year by making many big races while much higher dollar teams were in the trailer. I look for some front running here.

Casey Shuman. Nothing more to add here as he's shown flashes of brilliance.

Chad Boat will gain some throttle control and run up front.

Memmer will dominate some races

Boespflug will win LBurg championship

Yours????

My prediction 2008 will be unpredictible just like all racing seasons. One thing for sure April wont or cant get here quick enough for me.

I think Casey is going to be the man to beat next season, he is hitting on all cylinders and in our oppinion is one of the best drivers out there.

We will be trying to run up front as we still have a lot to learn and with seat time comes what we are looking for. Thank you for your vote of confidence.

I think the new TSR driver replacing Ricky Stenhouse in 2008 will be one of those drivers. Some of you may have heard of him, Tracy Hines

I think Kody Swanson will amaze some fans this year on how well he adapts to dirt racing

I think the first few races I go to it will be way to cold like it is every year. 2007 Paducah then turn around the next weekend and do the same thing at Eldora.
But that was WoO races so I know them dont count.:moon:

I am with you Chuck. Boat and Boespflug will be fun to watch at the Burg again. I could see both winning multiple features. Will be interesting to see how Jimmy Light runs after breaking out at the Burg last year. If Light runs enough races there, I could see him winning the Championship.

Happy New Year,
Shane

Maybe...just not in an open wheeled car.
I am not a basher either.

2008 will see USAC making changes for the good but catching hell because nobody likes change.
2008 will see Bob Sargent & The o'conners running THAT without a Sprintweek date.
2008 will see LPS sold to the quarry behind the track or Robin will own it.
2008 will see Chad Boat becoming everybodys new Daron Clayton. He will win 6 races between crashes.
Clayton will win 4 races for Truckers with their new DRC's chassis.
Shane Cottle will be USAC Sprint champion in 2008
Jon Stanbrough will win only 20 races with the Mr. Happy led Fox Boys.

Not a real dark horse, but Chris Windom is going to have a good year, Matt Neely too. I know, I have to cheer for the Illinois guys.

Springfield will see 40 cars minimum for the Tony Bettenhausen 100 race.
POWRi will have the best racing on dirt.
Don Moore will be missed on here by the posters who unerstand what he is saying.

I think your all correct 2008 will be a year of suprises I just get the feeling it will be interesting to say the least

Plus- I will just be glad to be able to go back to racing in 08' woohoo

Probably not a stretch but Jeff Bland Jr will add a USAC Sprint Car feature win or two to his resume.

Although, terribly underfunded compared to the rich kids, I believe Joss Moffat will be very competitive again this year and will compete for another championship at Lawrenceburg.

Re: 2008 You might be surprised by.............
 
I also look for Chris Windom to have a good year, but am anxious to see Hunter Shuerenberg in his new ride and the young man, Sammy Imel. Sammy looked very strong in his rookie season in a sprinter, ended the season with the equipment in decent shape. I look for this low budget team to regroup over the winter and open some eyes in 2008.:thumb:
