Which Rookie Will Shine The Brightest?

Coming into 2017, the NASCAR Cup Series rookie class once again has a lot of potential. Last season fans were given a show by the likes of Chase Elliott, Chris Buescher and Ryan Blaney. In 2017 it will be Erik Jones, Daniel Suarez and Ty Dillon trying to impress the NASCAR masses.

When it comes to those three, Dillon will take a backseat to Suarez and Jones given the fact that they will be in JGR equipment and Dillon will not.

Suarez will be taking over the No. 19 machine for Carl Edwards while Jones will be joining Martin Truex Jr. at Furniture Row Racing as part of a second team under their umbrella.

So who will have the best season of the three? It’s hard not to think it will be Suarez. Suarez is coming off of a season where he won the Xfinity Series title and now he is in the Cup Series with the best team coming out of last season. Suarez has it all laid out in front of him right now, he just has to go and get it.
