Who would you like to see as the new "Young Gun"?

Jimmie Johnson will not be a part of the Gillette Young Guns this year. He is going a different direction with his image and marketing, trying to capitalize on winning back to back championships and reach a larger audience outside of racing. They have said there will be a new Young Gun but have not identified him yet. Who would you like to see as the next member of that group?

How about Kyle Rowdy Busch, or Denny Hamlin, they are young guys that would fit it just great..
Reply:J.J. Yeley. He's young and has that "cool" factor.
Reply:I think Martin Truex Jr. would be a nice fit. I think Aric Amirola would also be another good choice as he is just starting his Nextel Cup career, and Jimmie Johnson leaving isnt that big of a shock. Next year will be his 7th year in racing and he has won back to back championships and numerous races, I dont consider him being a young Cup driver anymore, and I dont think many people do. I think he is thought of as one of the veteran drivers, and even though Kurt Busch, Ryan Newman, and other drivers have been racing just as long or even longer then him, they dont have the accomplishments he does. Kurt Busch doesnt even deserve to have that championship as that was rightfully Jeff Gordon's and he only lost it due to the Chase format that was created so NASCAR could be more like football and have a playoff system. However, that is a totally different story. I think that the Young Gun should be young, and not have to much racing experience in Cup, and should be an up and coming driver that will eventually have some great stats, and I feel Truex Jr. and Amirola could live up to those standards.
Reply:I would go with David Reutimann as a young gun, because he nice to everyone , has a good attitude . And I know him.
Reply:David Reuitiman or Juan Pablo Montoya. David would make a good one because he is young and you never hear anything bad about him. JPM on the other hand is quite popular and comes with a little controversy because of his driving style. He could be the "bad Boy".
Reply:I am thinking Ricky Carmichael (The Flying Freckle) I know he will be driving for the Busch Series in 2008. He would be a pretty cool Young Gun.





Glad to see your having fun tregosteeve! She is a pain in the gluteus maximus %26amp; it is pretty easy to get her fired up. Just as easy to press the 'report' button, delete her %26amp; make her create anther identity, she is a pro at that. I really liked your remark " no more of an annoyance than a mosquito" that was priceless my friend!
Reply:I think Clint Boyer fits the profile
Reply:The young gun campaign has gotten stale/musty


although I liked Kaseys new haircut!
Reply:Denny Hamlin, or Kyle Busch I don't understand why they aren't young guns anyway, they are younger then all of them! I think they would be great young guns!
Reply:I think Carl Edwards would make a great "Young Gun".





OOPS, My Bad !!! I'll go with Jon Wood or Denny Hamlin.
Reply:How about A.J. Allmendinger? Young. Good looking. California guy. Promising driver.
Reply:I would pick Martin Truex Jr.!!!!!
Reply:TONY STEWART.





There's a part of the contract with Gillette that you have to shave your face regularly, and its high time he did so.
Reply:Marcus Ambrose!
Reply:Kyle Busch or Denny Hamlin
Reply:Wow the Great Tregosteevo has a good question here, well all I have to say is IDK ! But when are you going to send me some deer meat ?????? But Clint Bowyer would be a fine choice !
Reply:Warren Wallace the Go Kart Racer. He's got more personality than most the drivers in Nascar and is 1/3 their ages!!!
Reply:Go Steevo !!! I got'cha back covered dude !!!


How bou't that Joey Lagono fella ???





Also ... If we can trap the troll ? I'll donate ''It'' to Zoo-Atlanta !!


Don't think we have one'nem their yet ?
Reply:Go Steevo!.





I have to say I think Denny Hamlin would make a good Young Gun.





Go Jr.%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;
Reply:I would like to see Bowyer as well.





Missed the troll-what happened?
Reply:How about Shrub, hes young and with the Gibbs going to toyota it can't hurt on the publicity front, as long as they can keep him to the script...lol
Reply:Without really knowing who is who anymore, I can't offer an educated answer. However, I do think a potential "Young Gun" should come out of the Nationwide Series.





Here's where you have a problem. The Nationwide Series is now dominated by Cup regulars. There are no standout "Guns" out there coming up through the ranks. Especially through the Cup series.





Cup drivers should only be allowed so many races or a seperate points format in the Nationwide to give the new guys a chance to develop.
