10. Austin McDaniel
The 2012 Hickory Motor Speedway track champion comes into 2013 riding a wave of success at his home track. McDaniel won nine times at Hickory last year and is the early favorite to win once again. But McDaniel will also have to battle with Jesee LeFevers and Keith Bumgarner if he plans on winning the championship for the second year in a row.
Austin will once again run for the track championship at Hickory Motor Speedway in 2013.
