When do you guys think we'll see the first NASCAR Cup champion born in the '90's?

And who does everyone think it'll be? Brad Keselowski was the first Cup champion born in the '80's. And this has made me think about the next step. The drivers born in the '90's have started to come to the Cup in past few years, which also helps bring this to mind. I know, since these drivers are still pretty young (23 at the oldest), it could be a few years away but how long does the community think it'll be? It's ok to explain the reasons behind thoughts but don't just knock specific drivers.

    It could still be a few years from now. Think about it like this: Brad Keselowski was the first driver born in the 1980s to win a Sprint Cup Championship (1984).

    As for drivers, I think there is a laundry list of drivers that are going to be great in the future. Some include Chase Elliott, Ryan Blaney, the Dillon brothers, Jeb Burton, and especially to me, Kyle Larson. He seems to have that aggression and desire to race that extra amount to win.

    Great question! Thanks for posting!

  • Im going to say Austin Dillon could be the next driver that was born in the 90's to be the cup champion one day. Got racing in his blood.

    Joey Logano. I believe he is the first 90's kid to win a Sprint Cup race, but I'm not 100% sure. Give him another year or two and he will be a legitimate contender for the Championship.

    I don't know when it will be, but keep an eye on Kyle Larson; I've seen him race a whole lot and he seems to be one of those drivers who only comes around once in a blue moon, much like Gordon back in the 90's. That kid has a very bright future ahead of him.

    I'm not sure but WOW and kudos to a good intelligent question. Haven't seen anyone ask a different and unique question around here in years. Not even from the knuckleheads that live and troll here 24/7.

    I could name so many! A lot of the Nationwide drivers have AWESOME potential. Keep an eye out!

    Once Joey has a few more years under his belt he will contend for a championship.
