The rules haven't yet been announced, but that doesn't mean the Nationwide Series drivers don't have an inkling of who are the likely contenders to hoist that trophy next November at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Nationwide?! Ok, I'll take the bait, who are the contenders?
Outside the Cup drivers I'd pick Trevor Bayne, Colin Braun and Kelly Bires as the best wheelmen out there.
I hope Travis Pastrana does well too.
And Owen Kelly, if he gets a drive setup for this year..Comment -

Richard Childress' nephew....can't think of his name.Comment -
Austin Dillon. He got more poles than anyone else in the trucks last year, and a couple of wins, but he has looked out of his depth twice I have seen in Nationwide races.
Get the feeling a lot more was spent on his #3 truck than was covered by winnings and whatever Bass Pro Shops threw in..Comment -
Thanks Mr. O.
Dillon has MONEY behind him with Childress. I remember a few years ago when Richard hired a good super late model dirt racer (Dale **????) to teach young Dillon the ropes. The kid worked hard and has turned into a pretty good young driver.
Never under estimate MONEY in racing. Richard will give this kid more time than some of his NASCAR guys.
Thanks again Optional.Comment -
