The Outside Groove 2006 Season Preview--Part 6

16 through 18--Two rookies and a weirdo

16. 2 Kurt Busch
The Case For: Thanks to his actions in Arizona last year, EVERYONE knows who Kurt Busch is.
The Case Against: He’s a big arrogant jerk.
Changes: Almost everything—new team, new crew, new sponsor. But at least now he won’t have to deal with Matt Kenseth always borrowing his pens.
Fun Fact: According to the AP, Kurt referred to his first test with Penske as “…our first beer together”. No word on whether he caught the irony or not.

17. 41 Reed Sorenson
The Case For: Had a phenomenal run in the Busch Series last year, plowing ahead while most other drivers were focusing on peeling their faces off.
The Case Against: The phrase “the 41 car is in contention to win” never sounds right.
Changes: Reed moves up, but the same stellar crew that came in 22nd in the points returns.
Fun Fact: Surprisingly, Sorenson doesn’t find his first name to be uppity.

18. 40 David Stremme
The Case For: We all know how well reality TV stars do once they go into the real world.
The Case Against: Since signing his new sponsor, can’t get that “Baby I’m Amazed” song out of his head.
Changes: Besides the new co-sponsor, also has a new crew chief. Additionally, no more glad-handling with SuperCuts execs!Fun Fact: Coors Light pushed for Stremme to replace Sterling Marlin in their push to appeal to a younger demographic. But don’t drink till you’re 21.
