New Season new car for Chevrolet racing with the Camaro ZL1 !!!

32 Full Time Drivers for 2018 , three of them Rookies .

36 Races separated by 26 Regular season Races - 9 Playoffs Races and 1 Final at Homestead .

Retired Drivers : Dale Earnhardt Jr. ,Matt Kenseth 2003 Nascar Champion ,Danica Patrick
Danica Patrick will race ONLY in Daytona 500 and Indy 500 in 2018 , probably for the last time.

NEW RULES :
The rules will be the same as 2017 with just one small but important change in the number of crew-members in the pit wall is reduced from 6 to 5 making pit stops even tougher !

CHANGES :
Monopoly for Martin Truex Jr. in the 78 as he will be the only car for Furniture Row Racing this year !!!
Former Furniture Row driver Erik Jones will still be in a TOYOTA Camry in Joe Gibbs Racing Team, replacing Matt Kenseth in number 20 !

Chase Elliott switched Jeff Gordon's 24 with 9 because as he said last year is an insult for the historic 24 people must see the 24 winning , so he change it for number 9.

Rookie William Byron grab the chance and took number 24 in his first NASCAR Season after winning the 2017 Xfinity title with the dramatic finale and epic battle until the end in Homestead. Byron is replacing Kasey Kahne who will drive for Leavine Family Racing.

YOUR QUESTIONS :
When will Chase Elliott take his 1st win ? Yese he will in 2018 maybe more than one !
Can Martin Truex Jr. win Back to Back Titles? Of course he can ! Truex will be the man to beat again this year.
Will Jimmie Johnson grad his 8th Title ? With a new car difficult but you never know with Jimmie and Hendrick Motorsports sometimes you think they are magicians .... if qualifies for the final must be really strong in Homestead ......

WHAT DO I EXPECT :
Martin Truex Jr. left alone in Furniture Row team so he will not have any help from a teammate but i believe it may be very profitable for the 78 because it's better to concentrate in one car and spending all the money on it .
Kyle Larson and Kyle Busch will be the strongest title contenders and the main threats for Truex Jr. dreams .
If Kyle Larson reach the final at Miami Homestead he will be the Champion , this track is his home .

KEEP AN EYE ON :
Erik Jones
Ryan Blaney
William Byron my favourite driver , i am sure he will write gold history in the series

Opening Race: the legendary Daytona 500 on 18th February DON'T MISS IT !
