NASCAR: 10 Bold Predictions For 2015

3. Danica Patrick will also win in 2015.

Go ahead, call me names and say that I have lost my mind. No really, it’s okay you can do it.

For some reason I think that Patrick is going to win in 2015. Now, that doesn’t mean that I think she is going to put together some sort of epic season and win a title but I do think that she is going to win one race. Heck, for this one I will even call my shot and say she is going to win a restrictor-plate race or she is going to win a rain-shortened race. Some of you may scoff is she wins either of those ways especially that latter, but hey a win is a win.

Even though I think she wins I will not say she makes the chase. If there are 17 winners in 2015 she might end up being the one winner that doesn’t make the cut.

Patrick has a new crew chief in 2015 in Daniel Knost. Knost is a young guy that SHR seems to have a lot of belief in. I believe that Knost and Patrick will be able to catch lightning in a bottle this season and that lightning will produce her first top-five and victory in NASCAR.
