Denny Hamlin IS the new young gun. A fact he's already proven in his rookie year. Somehow the 30 somethings don't fit the Young Gun image any longer. More like Hardened Veterans hoping the youngsters don't pass them by!

i think denny hamlin. he is always changing styles. i have seen him w/ a gotee, baby faced, to a beard of sorts. kasey kahne is just plain averaged smooth baby faced. plus hamlin in a rising star. had the best rookie year that anyone could have had! go hamlin!

I think the next young gun should be Clint Bowyer. He began his career on asphalt in the Busch series and now is in the Nascar circuit. I took notice of him because the ambition he has reminds of Jimmie Johnson and his quick rise to the top of the standings. Clint will be a force to be reckoned with in 2007-mark my words!!!

I WAS NOT AWARE SOME CHOICES HAD ALREADY BEEN SELECTED -MY BAD!!
mY REAL ANSWER IS KASEY KAHNE HE IS THE TRUE YOUNG GUN--DRIVEN, AMBITIOUS AND SUCCESS ORIENENTED!

I Think it is Denny Hamlin. Then Fire Newman and HIre Bowyer. Newman cant race his way out of a wet paper bag.

I think it will be Denny Hamlin. He is one of the up and coming in NASCAR. I look to see his face in that shadow. I am just sad to see Dale Jr leave the Young Guns

I think Denny Hamlin should be the next Young Gun. I wasn't aware Jr. was leaving. That's too bad. He's my other favorite driver. Denny had an awesome rookie season though, and I don't think he will have the typical sophomore year. Go Denny!

Jenn said:

I think Kasey Kahne should be the next gillette young gun, because he proved himself to be a good driver unlike all the other drivers trying to be pretty boys and trying to crash people all the time. And for a guy to be in the top 10 for the chase he proved to a lot of people he could do it.

Kasey Kahne should be the new Young Gun as he is innovative, confident, ambitious, and presents a good image (which is all great for Gillette).
Go Kasey!

bea said:

first of all get rid of jimmy johnson who cares if he is the nextel cup whatever

the six young guns should be kasey kahne,denny hamlin,paul menard,dale jr.martin truex jr, and
tony stewart because these guys need to be clean shaven

Kcmagnet said:

I think Clint Bower would fit in great as the newest Young Gun.

peaches said:

Elliot Sadler! I need not say more.

Nicole said:

I think Denny Hamlin will be the next young gun, although I would like to see Kasey Kahne get to spot. I'm just glad Dale Jr. is out of it because who wants to look at him all the time, Yuck!

Denny Hamlin... Nice clean shaven new young gun Denny Hamlin should win the championship.

peg said:

i really think it should be martin truex

peg said:

i really think it should be martin truex for sure

Laura said:

I think the next Young Gun should be Elliott Sadler. He's in a new car with a new number and all of his fans need to feel like he's still standing tall plus he's a Virginia boy with that sweet twang of a voice!!! Go #19

Kim said:

I don't think. IKNOW KASEY KAHNE should be the next young gun!!!! Not only is he HOT look at the season he had last year!!!! I can't wait to see him this year!!!!
