Jeff Gordon is going to have a terrific season (and I am not just saying that as his lucky charm ;)). Jeff will win numerous races and have strong runs most of the 2012 season starting in the Daytona 500. Gordon will have some trouble in the summer months, but he will be able to rebound and lock himself into the 2012 Chase for the Sprint Cup. Proving he belongs in the Chase, Gordon will win THREE of the ten Chase race. Say hello to your 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion.
