I haven't talked to anyone that agrees Mears will be a CHASE contender in 08'. I think his first season in a banged up #25 car went good! Even though his one win came on a fuel mileage gamble, he had some great runs and rallied to that 15th place finish in the standings. He improved his #'s in Wins, Top 5's, Top 10's, and his points finish in 2007, compared to his previous 4 seasons. Now he is jumping into a car/team that has proved it can make the CHASE year in, and year out... Having Gustafson is going to improve his abilites as a driver even more and I predict atleast 3 wins. I really think this move for Casey is going to make him a strong contender each week. So my early prediction is Casey gets 3 wins, 1 on a Superspeedway, and the other 2 most likely on Intermediate tracks. He will make the CHASE and finish strongly in the TOP-10.
ALSO - I hope he runs in the 24HRS of Daytona.. Remember, Mears was the FIRST full-time NASCAR driver ever to win it in 2006.
