NASCAR: 15 Bold Predictions For 2016 Sprint Cup Season

Chase Elliott And Ryan Blaney Win Races

2016 will feature quite the rookie battle between Chase Elliott, Ryan Blaney, Chris Buescher and Brian Scott. While all four drivers are sure to have their moments, Elliott and Blaney will steal the show when they both manage to win races in 2016.

Elliott will have some of the best equipment on the track in 2016 since he is running for HMS and that is going to go a long way. Some will say that Elliott’s lack of being in lesser equipment is going to hurt him in 2016 but I disagree with that. Elliott might not have impressed in his limited Cup schedule in 2015, but 2016 is going to be a different story.

Blaney on the other hand did impress in 2015. In 16 starts in 2015 Blaney managed a top-five and a pair of top-10 finishes. Blaney also had himself a handful of top-20 finishes in those 16 starts. Overall it was an impressive run for a part-time driver. Add in the fact that he was consistent in qualifying and it should make his stock high for the upcoming season.

Both of this rookies will be turning some heads this season.
