Predictions for 2018

[Josh Bayko]

Predictions:

Brandon Sheppard wins the WoO title via winning the last race of the season at Charlotte. Second place in points Brandon Overton actually wins more races over the season, though.

Josh Richards wins the Lucas title. Bloomquist struggles mightily to start the season, but comes alive in August, but it’s way too little way too late to catch up. Richards also finally breaks through at Eldora and wins the World.

Jonathan Davenport and Kevin Rumley win 6 races (4 Lucas and 2 WoO), and finish 3rd in Lucas points. Multiple threads on 4M are made to discuss “what went wrong”.

Tim McCreadie has consistency issues and finishes seventh in Lucas points, but he does manage to win the Silver Dollar Nats, Hillbilly 100 and Dream.

Brian Shirley is out of GR Smith’s stuff by May. GR himself takes over driving duties and finishes out the WoO season. He does manage to pick up an upset victory in one of the prelim nights at the Firecracker.

Chase Jughans wins three WoO races and finishes 4th in points.

Chris Madden drops off the WoO tour before the great Western swing.

2018 is the last season for CBR on the Lucas series after disappointing results for both Lanigam and O’Neal.

Ray Cook’s various series have more flips between them than either national series.

No way he's winning the WoO his first year.

I predict Steve Francis and Chub Frank go winless again this year, especially Francis.

Pierce contends for a title in either series...
