With most of the IRL's big guns crossing over to NASCAR does anyone want to make pick on who will win 2008. Wheldon, Dixon, Danica, Heilo, or someone else. I think Wheldon gets his first title with Dixon and Danica very close behind in 2nd & 3rd

Crap I forgot Marco

the champ will definitely come from one of 3 teams: Andretti Green (Marco or Kanaan), Penske (Helio), or Target Ganassi (Dixon or Weldon). my best guess right now is Ganassi takes home the big check and the trophy.

Marco is fast, but not consistent.
Kanaan is a past champ and will be close at the end.
Helio: ditto.
Dixon (probably the best choice) and Weldon (if he can stay out of Danica's way ) will be 1,2 .. I just don't know which is which.

Dang I forgot Kanaan too

I'm not sure about the exact order but I'll go with Helio Castroneves, Dan Wheldon and Tony Kanaan.

Now, the question is who'll come to NA__AR first, Helio or Wheldon? My bet is Dan and if Penske doesn't start a fourth team, Wheldon'll leave Penske and work his own deal.
A driver everyone underestimates is Vito Miera. He's got gobs of talent but Panther isn't a winning team.

The name I keep for coming to NASCAR is Wheldon

Michael would object violently, I believe. Michael wants to relive his F1 experience vicariously through Marco, this time with a bit of success.
