Is joey lagono the next jeff gordon?

Question

im going to see him at dover

what do you think of him

Answer 1

The kid can flat-out drive a car. That is for sure. It's just too bad that he will be driving for JGR. As a young, impressionable driver he needs better role models than Busch and Hamlin. Maybe he'll get smart and drive for someone else - until then, I have already found myself not liking him. How sad is that???

ANYONE BUT JGR!!!

Answer 2

I want to see him race first.

Answer 3

Winter is so right.  No pressure here!  They couldn't wait til he turned 18 and he could race in NASCAR premier series'.  Poor guy has a big reputation to fill already.

Go Jr.>>>>

Answer 4

i dont really have that much of an opinion of him yet. too soon to tell for me. i cant stand jeff gordon (nothing personal to his fans, i respect yall) but i dont know too much about joey lagono.

Answer 5

I think he will be good but something that will hurt him is the nationwide series has too many cup regulars in the field and this will make it harder for lagono to finish well. i still think he has the potential to be great

Answer 6

He's gonna do well for himself and his team !! But he'll be no Jeff Gordon !!

Answer 7

He hasn't even been in a truck or Nationwide race. Let's wait to see what he can do before labelling him as the next anything. He might turn out to be the next Jamie McMurray.

Answer 8

I think we will have to wait and see there is no doubt he can drive a car but I think we need to reserve ourselves and wait.  Everyone pumping him up is going to be real disappointed if he crashes and burns.

Answer 9

I don't know, but I kinda feel bad for the kid, they've put so much hype around him, Hey Joey, no pressure or anything, but you've been declared the next big thing in nascar..

Answer 10

fyi, it's "logano" not "lagano."

what do i think of him?  he's got the talent, the drive, and the ride (the NNS JGR #20) to make it big, and do it fast.  he's the first real contender i see for breaking a lot of the "youngest driver ever to..." records that kyle set.

Answer 11

no he will be better maybe the next kyle bush

Answer 12

I cant wait!!!! This kid is the real deal. I saw him at Iowa last year kick Harvicks butt up and down the track. He will def get into Spring Cup- hopefully in the fourth RCR car.

Answer 13

No, but he''s the first Joey Lagano.

Answer 14

so many young drivers have been coined "the next Jeff Gordon" (and nothing becomes of them...)  This kid has been hyped up a lot, and I'm looking forward to see what he can do.  I'm looking forward to seeing him in Dover, but I never buy into media hype.
