I've selected my champs for 2013 based on what last year showed us. Here's hoping the feeling isn't wrong.

I have no doubt Dillon will capitalize on the successes of his rookie season and turn his second season into a championship. Dillon proved in 2012 that he's capable of winning and battling for the title.

After setting the bar, Smith joins JRM full time for 2013 driving the No. 7 Chevrolet. He's one to keep your eyes on this season, and I believe he's going to bring JR Motorsports their first Nationwide Series championship.
The only driver I see giving Smith the run for the championship is Austin Dillon. Just like his younger brother, Austin also won the Rookie of the Year, as well as finishing high in the point standings. I believe Dillon will be hungry for that championship, so I see it coming down to Smith and Dillon for the win - the new Stenhouse and Sadler for this year.
Cup: My pick will have to be Dale Earnhardt Jr. Last season, the old fire was back in Earnhardt Jr. He was the only driver to finish on the lead lap, a 21-race streak which came to an end at Pocono. His championship chances went up in smoke due to his concussion, which unfortunately made him miss two races. Had he not suffered it, I think Earnhardt Jr. could have made the 2012 championship his.
The 2012 season only made Earnhardt Jr. hungry for more and by more I mean “NASCAR’s 2013 Sprint Cup champion!”
