SONOMA, Calif. -- Former running back Roger Craig, who won three Super Bowl championships with the San Francisco 49ers from 1984-89, was consumed Sunday with preparing his four-word speech to kick off the NASCAR Toyota/Save Mart 350 Sprint Cup final at Infineon Raceway.

While he practiced delivering a stirring "Gentlemen, start your engines!" commandment as the event's Grand Marshal, Craig also made a bold prediction about the NFL team that drafted him in 1983 out of Nebraska.

"The 49ers will be a playoff team this season. I'm making that prediction," said Craig, a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2010. "They were 8-8 last season. You saw what happened.

"They should have beaten Minnesota (Week 3; 27-24 loss; Brett Favre led his 40th game-winning comeback drive), they should have beaten the Colts (Week 8; 18-14 loss; Joseph Addai threw a game-winning touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne), they should have beaten the Texans (Week 7; 24-21 loss; backup quarterback Alex Smith intercepted by Texans free safety Eugene Williams with 36 seconds remaining), they should have beaten Seattle (Week 13; 20-17 loss; Smith passed for 310 yards and two touchdowns, Seahawks kicked the game-winning field goal).

"So that's 12-4 right there. Those four games could have changed the season around. They were that close. I think they're going to be very strong contenders this year."
