10) Kyle Busch | No. 18 M and M's Toyota | Joe Gibbs Racing

Pros: Busch has won 12 races over the past two seasons; only Jimmie Johnson has won more (14). The 24-year-old racer has won at least one race each year since becoming a rookie in 2005. He earned nine top-fives and 13 top-10s in a down year that resulted in 13th place in the standings; he has three Cup appearances in the past four seasons. JGR is a strong team, and Busch has taken the reins as the face of the team since Tony Stewart defected after the 2008 season. Busch is very aggressive on the track, and has eight total DNFs in his last four seasons after as many in 2005.

Cons: With long-term security in place via a new contract, does Busch continue to race with the same tenacity? Probably, but you never know. Steve Addington, Busch's crew chief the past two years, has left for Kyle's brother Kurt's team. Dave Rogers took over with three races to go last year, which resulted in finishes of 11th, 12th and eighth, respectively. It's not that those finishes were poor by any means, we're just unsure of what to expect from the duo over the course of a full season. Sometimes Busch's attitude gets him in trouble with other drivers.

Fantasy tip: Busch is an immensely talented young driver, and fantasy owners are cognizant of this. The big question is how he will respond to Rogers as a full-time crew chief. If these two gel early, the sky is the limit. However, common sense says it may take a little while before Busch reaches peak form. His potential makes Busch a No. 1 driver, and narrowly missing the Chase last year should serve as motivation for him, but don't reach higher than the mid-tier No. 1 drivers for him.
