itj's too bad Ward Burton is not running right now (at least i don't think he is), cause he'd be the guy. he's from south boston, va, and when he talks, he sounds just like elmer fudd, no kidding. he's awesom. he won a few races, but lost his ride.
But freak, if your looking for someone that's competitive, but not an odds on favorite everyweek, so as to avoid the 'bandwaggon fan' label, i'd go with Edwards....he's good, he's entertaining and he has a great ride.
but, and i'm not a Tony Stewart fan per say, cause he's an ass, but he's the BEST driver on the track most every time they line up. they guy can drive anything....
McMurray and Kennseth are good, but they're boring. Hell, Kennseth got his but kicked by JG, literally.
Go with Edwards or Stewart.
