The holidays are a giving time of year, one in which everyone has their eyes on a gift of their dreams. So, it's time to have a little fun and present my NASCAR Wish List for your favorite drivers this offseason. These may not be on their list for Santa ... but they should be ...

Jimmie Johnson: Some kind of quirky emotional outburst -- good or bad -- so that people actually start paying attention to the greatest driver, statistically, of this decade.

Carl Edwards: New Sprint Cup rules that add 10 additional bonus points in the Chase for a backflip. Hey, he's got to do something to break Jimmie Johnson's mojo...

Greg Biffle: A fan base that expands beyond the dogs and cats he rescues. Biffle strives to get noticed, but he's third on the totem pole behind two of his teammates: Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth, despite a third-place finish in the final standings. When he had two wins to start the playoffs, there were millions going, "Greg who?" ...

Kevin Harvick: A visit from the ghost of Dale Earnhardt to remind him that as the keeper of his old No. 3 car, he's at his best when that ol' "Intimidator" aggression comes out ... both on the track and off.

Clint Bowyer: A lifetime supply of Jack Daniels to comfort his banishment to a new, fourth car at RCR despite winning the 2008 Nationwide Series championship.

Jeff Burton: President of a newly established NASCAR Drivers' Union that fights for safety, competition, retirement pensions and other issues affecting them on a daily basis.

Jeff Gordon: A change of his slogan from "Drive for Five" to "Drive for No. 85," the victory that would put him alone in third on the all-time win list before retirement. At this point, that fifth title's looking like a longshot with Johnson as his teammate.

Denny Hamlin: A second Fed Ex campaign to auction off everything that slows him down before Daytona ... featuring every member of his pit crew.

Tony Stewart: A Staples button for his new role as a car owner with the phrase, "You're fired! That was easy."

Kyle Busch: Simple: Dale Carnegie's book How To Win Friends And Influence People.

Matt Kenseth: An Eeyore doll and a bag of thistles from the Hundred Acre Wood.

Dale Earnhardt, Jr.: For the sport's sake, a 2009 filled with the type of on-track success to back up his popularity. And a free trip to Bermuda for crew chief Tony Eury, Jr. ... that conveniently lasts an entire season.

David Ragan: A dart gun to shoot out the window during races, two years after being labeled a "dart without feathers" that would never amount to anything in his first Cup start. The present will be hand-delivered by UPS, of course.

Kasey Kahne: A face that actually looks old enough to buy the beer that sponsors him (Budweiser).

Casey Mears: Twenty additional Sprint Cup points per race so he's not the poster child for the phrase, "Nice guys finish last."

A.J. Allmendinger: The ability for someone out there to recognize his stock car talent and put him in a ride before it's too late -- and the IRL comes calling.

Bill Elliott: The ability to finally retire with his head held high.

Kyle Petty: Ditto.

Mark Martin: A free membership to the AARP -- just in time for him to join the top-rated team in the Sprint Cup Series at 50.

Jamie McMurray: Resume Maker Professional to help him get started on his job search for when Roush Fenway drops a team -- and driver -- after the 2009 season to be in line with NASCAR rules.

Ryan Newman: Boot camp training by new sponsor the Army to give him a look at life at Stewart-Haas Racing.

Joey Logano: A one-hour session with Casey Atwood as a reminder that hype means nothing without on-track results to back it up.

Martin Truex, Jr.: A life raft to float to safety before the rest of his team drowns in financial ruin.

Kurt Busch: A bunch of good luck charms in a goodie bag that contains a new Dodge engine guaranteed to last 500 miles.

Brian Vickers: A full-time college scholarship to Princeton (post-retirement, of course) for what is arguably the series' most intelligent driver.

Bobby Labonte: A big, gold star honoring his loyalty to Petty Enterprises ... because he didn't get much else from it other than his unconditional release.

David Reutimann: A better nickname than "Beak." That's one you don't want to tell the public.

Michael Waltrip: A driver's suit with an LCD screen that can store up to 1,000 sponsor names. Great for interviews where he doesn't have time to spit them all out!

Juan Pablo Montoya: Losing his spot as NASCAR's lone example of diversity amongst their ranks -- by someone else stepping up to join him.
