Dale jr vs. matt?

Question

ok alll you jr fans who is better and lets be honest here

rookie of the year-- matt ( beat out dale jr.)

championships----matt

still with same team-----matt

running on daddys name--------jr,

and the winner is the 17 car hands down

Answer 1

Matt Kenesth

16 Wins, 83 Top 5's, 153 top 10's, average finish 14.9

Dale Earnhardt. Jr.

18 Wins,  83 Top 5's, 133 Tops 10's,  average finish 16.1

I think they are pretty close, I wouldn't say hands down but looks like Matty does have the edge.

Answer 2

im a harvick fan but i like jr better

Answer 3

well kenseth has been in much better eqipment his entire career but yet junior has won more races, what does that tell you? besides the 1 good year kenseth had where he won the championship, the stats clearly show junior to be the better driver. but of course all the haters on here have never been ones to let the facts get in the way of their arguments. oh and BTW, i see you conveiniently forgot to mention junior beat kenseth 2 years in a row for back to back busch championships back when they were in equal eqipment, before they moved up to cup.

Answer 4

There are couple of better drivers than Jr.,, Matts one of them.

no question.

did someone use the fact that Jr. won a race this year (with a 20 something place car and stole it with a fule gamble) as grounds of Jr. being better?? thats sad.

Matt is one of only 2 drivers to not miss the Chase and has won a Championship, enough said

Answer 5

AMEN...Go 17!!!!!!!

Answer 6

Must we do all this comparison? And Junior cannot help who his father is. So let's take that out of the equation, shall we? Both are good race car drivers and both are very humble young men with talent. Currently Matt is really working hard at making a move up the charts. Junior currently is able to be consistently good and his cars aren't blowing up every race like last year. I would say they are pretty equal.

Answer 7

Yes, he is much more consistent as far as I am concerned.

Answer 8

Ok *** hole if you look at it like that ya Matt looks like the better driver.

Daytona 500 winner--Jr

Most popular driver---4 or 5 times in a row now

This years points standings----Jr in second Matt in eighth

More wins----Jr

and the winner is the 88 car hands down

Answer 9

Kenseth is the better driver but it is close.

Answer 10

Matt Kenseth is better.

Dale Jr is a lot more popular.

Answer 11

These types of questions get soooooo old. I am a Junior fan but also like and respect Matt and his talent. There are so many factors that go into racing that merely looking at stats does not tell the whole story. Jr. certainly didn't have the same level of quality in his equipment. Now it seems he has better equipment than Matt and the points reflect that. Does that make him the better driver? I wouldn't be so arrogant as to say it's true or not. As for Jr. driving on his Daddy's last name.... I guess that automatically gets you a 2nd place in the points, huh? And the winner is... Simple logic.

Answer 12

ok all you Jr. fans?

Why do only Jr. fans get to answer this?

I feel discriminated against!!

Answer 13

well yeah no c**p kenseth is better if he has a championship but let's look at some other things -

Jr ---- with c**p team for 7 years

Jr ---- Daytona 500 champion

Jr ---- has actually won a race this year

Kenseth ----struggling to remain in the top 12

Answer 14

They both are great drivers but Matt has the edge on Junior for the time being.

Answer 15

Matt Kenseth= better

Answer 16

Did this section change from NASCAR to the Dale Jr. section?

BTW, just what is your question???????

Answer 17

Matt

Answer 18

I am not a Jr. fan,,,,, it is obvious Matt Kenseth is a better race car driver than Jr.

Answer 19

you keep on this  (JR THING) IS GONNA GET TO BE  LIKE RACISM

and you dont want that

Answer 20

#17 better
