Scott Speed should do well, will no doubt be an endless pit of money from mostly the rice burner guys from Tokyo, but also RedBull has never shied away from spending a lot of money (and in the case of F1, not getting anything in return).  So he'll be up front unless learning curve is too steep.

I'm hoping sprint/midget star and "kid" Ricky Stenhouse Jr. does well.  Again, will have Roush-Fenway $$$ behind him. I don't know if the youngster has even been in a heavy stock car. 

Kimmel---impossible to count out. Can get to the front even when he's not one of the fastest 5 or 6 cars.  Hopefully the money/sponsors will be there for the backing needed. 

Another 14 or 15 year old sprint/midget guy is going to be racing in the sereies for a nascar team.  can't remember his name.  I follow USAC a fair amount and his name didn't even ring a bell with me as someone who was up front a lot. 

There wont be any 14 or 15 yr olds in ARCA since they dont allow anyone under 16 to race in the series and then only on short tracks . You must be 18+ to race on any track 1 mile or bigger in ARCA as of this past season .

2008 will be one of the best seasons in ARCA since its hay days of the 60s and early 70s IMO since there is now top notch equiptment available to everyone with the release of the 800 Cup cars that are availble at bargain prices . I plan on skipping a couple of NASCAR races and attending a couple of ARCA races this year because i think you will see better racing and get a bigger bang for your buck .

 As for Scott Speed i dont expect him to do that well except maybe at the plate races , i think places like the dirt tracks and Toledo will be like going to Mars for him .
