Ok NASCAR Fans......who's it gonna be this year?
Tell us who you think will win this years Daytona 500 and why.

I think it will be Dale Earnhardt Jr!
After a very disappointing year in '05, I think Jr. will be on a mission, not only to win the 500 but to also win a few other races and make it in to the top 10 in points and the "Race for the Cup".

That's a tough question! Alot of drivers have switched teams this year. And with Ford going to the Fusion instead of the Tarus, and the new Toyota Camry's coming in to NASCAR this year, it's gonna be interesting. Chevy and Dodge are still using the same cars as last year so I believe they will be the strongest runners in the early part of the season.
As for drivers that should be contenders.....Dale Jr, Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart are always good bets, Kurt and younger brother Kyle Busch should be strong. And then you have a whole list of drivers that can win at any point and at any track, Jimmy Johnson, Jamie McMurray, Casey Kahne etc.
Should be interesting!

I like Kurt Busch in the Miller Lite car that Rusty Wallace used to drive or any of the Roush drivers. Earnhardt Jr is having too much fun to be serious enough to win a Championship but hopefully he'll get over that nonsense.
