I think that Truex and Martin will run well, but I don't think the others will. I'm not convinced that Menard, Almirola, and Smith are good drivers. I know that Almirola ran well in the Busch Series, but sometimes that is as good as you get.

I think Truex will keep them going OK. Too bad Martin isn't running a full season, he could do them some good as well.
Go JR.>>>>

Depends if they get the engine bugs worked out or not, 13 blown engines was a bit much(and it really wasn't the way Jr drives a car he only blew 3 engines in the previous 2 years). But I'm not too worried about Truex and Martin. Martin will be a good mentor to the younger drivers as well. Almirola will be ok. I mean he did sorta get a win last year in Busch. Let's face it Menard's just there for the sponsorship, he was given a top-35 spot after the Ginn merger and still almost blew it. I haven't seen enough of Regan Smith to form an opinion.

I suspect the company as a whole will do OK. I agree with most of the posters that Menard is likely not ever going to set the world on fire as a Cup driver. The jury is still out on Almirola. Truex and Mark Martin should be good to go right out of the box.

DEI will do better in 2008 than they did in 2007. Truex will continue running circles around the Hendrick cars. And I just saw the video of the unveiling of the new black #8 car. Mark Martin was wearing his black fire suit and he had the biggest grin on his face I've ever seen. They even have a new crew chief and DEI is getting stronger. DEI will do well in 2008. Believe that!

They can only go uphill from here. I think your right about Martin Truex Jr. being the head of the class but that's it. If only the others could keep there nose out of trouble on race day.

DEI can only get better , I think Truex and Mark will race hard like he always does. Paul Menard I feel wont cut it in Nascar. As far as your question, DEI will be OK at best. We will just have to wait see.

i think Truex will be the best but, I think Martin is the leader of the DEI in 2008.

They'll do as well or better than this past season. As popular as Jr. is, to me he was probably a distraction and now that will no longer be an issue. I think Jr helped DEI by taking his crew chief with him. I think Tony Eury Jr is part of the reason Jr didn't do better.
