NASCAR: The 2016 Big Prediction Page
Name A Driver Who Will Miss The Chase After Making It In 2015
- Christopher Olmstead – Clint Bowyer, it’s going to be a struggle for him this season.
- Jason Higgins – Paul Menard. He made it through the first 26 races of 2015 with only one disaster finish (35th or worse). I don’t expect that to happen in 2016.
- Joseph Shelton – Paul Menard.
- Mike Hutton – Jamie McMurray was a Chase participant in ’15 who won’t repeat in ’16. And then he’ll cry in the dark at Richmond when he realizes it.
- Cole Mentzel – Paul Menard. He had a solid season in 2015, but there were too many other drivers, like Kasey Kahne, who simply had down years. I don’t see Menard beating the others out again.
- Martin Feigen – More than one will miss but Menard has no shot.
