Why Robbie Gordon? I it because he caused the second most number of cautions last year? (Hornish would have caused the most)

Becuase he's hte other Dodge. That or Brian Keselowski.

And as far as Sam Hornish goes, was anyone beginning to wonder how many cars Roger Penske was going to let the guy crash? Gee, he smashed cars faster than the fabricators could build them.

You were probably better off with Brian Keselowski...

OK I'll chime in>

Although I have a fleet of three Chevy's and one Dodge I am going with the Mopar guys.

1. Brad Keselowski
2. Kurt Bush
3. Jeff Gordon

Also just to let you know I'm not a die hard fan of Nascar, but will watch selective races throughout the season. Daytona / Talladega / Michigan. I live in the Atlanta Metro area and turn down free tickets to these races here every year because after several years of attending this race it is just plain boring.

The rules are killing this sport. Pop off valves on radiators to control the speeds and discourage bump drafting? What a crock of chit.

Put these guys back in factory bodies with factory engines / drive-trains and let them "Run what they Brung". Yes the speeds will be slower, but it would be the best test to see which manufacture rules the ovals.

Also get rid of the rule that 35 cars make the field regardless of speed. Racing is about speed and who wins the race and should not be based on owners points.

In NHRA you either qualify on speed or not. Points are only calculated for the final showdown. Nascar should follow this basic principal of racing.
