Nextel Cup

I had a suggestion (although the person didn't sign it, so I can't give them credit) that we pick a Nextel Cup winner now before the season starts. I thought it was a good idea so I ran with it. Obviously, this is short notice since the first race is this weekend so the deadline is the going to be next Friday (February 20th).
