Ranking Dodge's 2007 Roster
|

Who do you think is the top Dodge driver? Tell me what you think in the discussion forum.
1. Kasey Kahne (Evernham Motorsports)- Kasey Kahne has emerged as Dodge's poster boy. Expect Kahne to win multiple races and compete in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Chase for the Championship.
2. Kurt Busch (Penske Racing)- Kurt Busch had an off-year in 2006, but I wouldn't expect the same in 2007. Busch will return to victory lane, and possibly Chase the NASCAR Nextel Cup championship.
3. Ryan Newman (Penske Racing)- A couple of years ago, Ryan Newman would have been Dodge's number 1 man hands down, but a sub par 2006 season has tainted the 12 team. However, expect a dramatic turnaround for Newman. He will be back in victory lane, and the Chase for the Championship.
4. Bobby Labonte (Petty Enterprises)- The 2000 NASCAR champion gave Petty Enterprises some decent runs in 2006. Both Labonte and the 43 should improve in their second full season together, but a win would be a pleasant surprise.
5. Elliott Sadler (Evernham Motorsports)- Elliott Sadler may win a race, but a spot in the Chase for the Championship is unlikely.
6. Scott Riggs (Evernham Motorsports)- Scott Riggs will be one of the few first-time winners in 2007.
7. Reed Sorenson (Chip Ganassi Racing)- The 21 year old Georgia boy is Chip Ganassi's top gun this year. Expect Reed Sorenson to improve upon his rookie season.
8. Kyle Petty (Petty Enterprises)- Kyle Petty's driving career is reaching it's conclusion. Expect him to retire after the 2007 season.
9. David Stremme (Chip Ganassi Racing)- It's time for David Stremme to show some signs of improvement.
10. Juan Pablo Montoya (Chip Ganassi Racing)- Montoya will not be an overnight success in NASCAR Nextel Cup, but I wouldn't expect him to be listed as the 10th best Dodge for very long either.
