  1. Hey Dwindy! I'll take a stab!

    "Feel good" win: Trevor Bayne. Kid's second career Cup start and already has won the biggest race on the circuit.

    No--he'll win again (see Jamie McMurray, who I think his career will parallel).

    Best NASCAR feud: Harvick vs. Kyle Busch. Edwards v Keselowski is so 2009. Newman/Montoya flamed out quickly.

    2011 F1 Champion: Lewis Hamilton.

    I plan to watch the Indy 500 on TV.

    Schumi should have never returned to F1. He was out of the sport for several years, and in the meantime, there were enormous changes in technology.

    The aero kits are a good start, but will they get that dreaded "aero push"?

    Denny Hamlin will NOT make the Chase. Not without at least two wins. While he's capable, he typically slumps in summer and picks it up around Bristol. By then it will be too late.

    Next first-time winner: Marcos Ambrose, at Sonoma or the Glen. Menard will also win, but his will come later in the season.

    Thanks, Dwindy!

    Kev vs Kyle
    Denny will win enough races to make the Chase.
    1st timer... Andy Lally at a road course.
