as bad as i hate to say it tony stewart looks like not only has he changed but usually he does badly in the first part of the season so that would be my answer for both q's..also have to give a nod to kurt busch..maybe having your ears pinned back has something to do with it but he seems much nicer this year..look for mark martin to retaliate one day on a rookie soon...i mean hey..nothing to lose..right? lol

I'd like to see Martin win it. He's up there every year. He deserves one.

Most changed I'd have to say Kurt Busch also.. Still don't like him, but don't hate him so much either.

I think Bobby Labonte with the Petty Team is doing an awesome job this year. How long has it been since you've seen a petty team in the top 10 in a race!! I know that I always sing his praise, but I think Kevin Harvick is having a great year too. A new contract with Childress, and a great run so far this year. I think this will be his year to be in the chase!!!

I think the end of the season will come down to Johnson, Stewart, and Kenseth. The person who has changed the most I would have to say Harvick. His driving style has changed (for the good).

As far as the most changed driver, I have to go with Kurt Bush.

I think that the top contenders for the championship will be Johnson ( Yuck!), Stewart (if he can handle his temper), and Kenneth (all round nice guy ).

The 2 long shots that I would love to see win the championship are Jeff Burton (has paid his dues! ) and Mark Martin (been #2 for 4 times, all round sentimental favorite )

Most changed driver, my vote = Robby Gordon.

Top contenders, my votes are the same as you, mrsmopar, with the exception that I can't say the 48. I would get physically sick. He has to have bad luck sometime and hopefully it'll start at Indy!

Kenseth and Stewart are my picks. Heavy on the Smoke pick. Big surprise there but I really think he can do it, hopefully his bad luck is behind him. And he always comes on strong the last part of the season. Crap, it's the last part of the season.
