All big bad Chad has to do is pull out his setup data for the past 4 years and it's over.........5 in a row.

Well, Smoke is one of my favorite drivers so I have to pull for him. Harvick had a great season so far and he's driving the #3 (to me) car, so I pull for him too. After that, I like Burton and the rest of the Bowtie Brigade.

Next would be Kurt Busch and then the Blue Oval gang.

Last and certainly least are the Toyotas and the brats that drive them. I hate to see a good guy like Gibbs be rewarded for his brand and driver choices.

Im pulling for the #2 but would settle for the #18.

14...with the 2 as my dark horse, somehow I think Kurt will surprise in the Chase. I Don't think the 48 will get it done this year....

42 Target Chevrolet fan here..

Sort of make you wonder why one of GM's top teams would jump ship to Toyota.

Gibbs is a football guy and not a racer tied to any particular brand. He is also a winner and when he realized that Toyota was willing to spend more money to win than GM he switched brands.
Owners like, Childress, Hendricks, Roush are too tied in with brand loyalty to ever consider another brand.
Perhaps their downfall but Jack Roush said it was gonna happen and this year it just might.
