NASCAR.com has published their predictions for the 2006 season. Ryan Smithson has predicted the same thing I've been telling everyone. Casey Mears will have a breakout season this year! Mark Aumann thinks it'll happen at Texas. I don't care where it happens, as long as it does. My dog is getting tired of hearing me scream, "NOOOOOOOOOO!" when fate steps in (or the NASCAR officals who call a late race caution for a piece of lint on the track) and Casey loses his chance for a win.
Now, he's not the only driver I root for. I've been cheering on Tony Stewart since his open wheel days, and even have a few race programs from when he raced midgets. I came to NASCAR the day that the first of the Bakersfield Boys got a ride in a cup race. Kevin Harvick's first cup race was also Dale Earnhardt Sr.'s last. I almost didn't come back to the next race, but the pull to see if the kid who'd ruled the local tracks since he was old enough to drive was just too strong.
I've gotten to see Kevin win a few times, and finally had the chance to watch Tony take home the Cup, now all I need is for Casey to take the checkers. They'll probably hear me cheering all the way in Texas!
14 days til the Daytona 500.
