Well.. probably 12 of the 16 COT races.. 4-8 of the old car races. :(
Ill say Gordon 1st, Johnson 2nd, Kyle Busch 4th.
(And im not even a Hendrick fan)

HMS will definitely win the championship with the 24 car, and probably quite a few more races (Maybe 8 or more). But I think the sad thing here is how bad is Casey Mears? He has the best equipment and he can barely finish above 35th in races. The guys blows I don't know what HMS was thinking when they signed him. He proves that he cannot perform at the Nextel Cup level. The 24, 48, & 5 all have what it takes to win almost every week. The solution to the 25 car is that he should just be let go, and Dale Jr. should be in the 25 car next season. I hope people can agree with me on this.

Jimmie Johnson - 10 wins, first repeat champ since Gordon
Jeff Gordon - 6 wins, will lose to Jimmie and be 2nd
Kyle Busch - 3 wins, will finish 5th-8th
Casey Mears - 1 win (possibly, has had a couple of cars capable of winning)
I don't think 19 or 20 wins is out of the question. Everybody is talking about Gordon's dominance but Jimmie hasn't even got to Charlotte yet. The 48 team might win more than 10 this year and could be a threat for the modern era record (13 wins in 1998) set by Jeff Gordon.

Hendrick Motorsports winning over half of all the races this year is not out of the question. Those guys have it going on right now.
Casey Mears will have to wreck Gordon or Johnson to get a win, though. I think his days are numbered at Hendrick, anyway. I will bet that Dale, Jr. will not get the hand-me-down cars when he is in the #25 Bud car next year. Kyle Busch will be whipping boy then.

That's a tough one....but I'd be willing to bet that they could win 7 or 8 more races easily.
I think that if we were under the old system, Gordon would be a lock for the championship. With the chase however, you can never tell. All of the early season dominance is worth but a few points once the last 10 races start.

I think that HMS could easily win about 15 races this year.
One of them will win the championship and the other two between the 5, 24, and 48 will finish top 5 in points.

Hendrick will win probably 4 to 5 more races. Gordon will finish 1st in points, Johnson 2nd, and Busch will finish 9th because Busch is still young and reckless at times.

Not a Hendrick fan myself, but they are on fire and I expect them to win around 16 races this season. I hope Casey Mears can at least win one.
