Who else thinks Dale JR was a mistake for Hendrick Motorsports.?

Question

he offers no help for his teammates and clealy he also has trouble adjusting to the new " COT " he just way overrated.. lol..

Answer 1

Go Earnhardt !!

Answer 2

He is still an asset to Hendrick, win or lose. He is one of Nascar's most popular drivers and souvenier sales alone will make Hendrick a bunch of money. Earnhardt offers sponsors tv exposure and that's what they want.

Answer 3

Not me. He is 3rd in points and been a contender in almost every race, more than can be said for Hendrick's marquee driver and his protege....(SO FAR!!) 24 races to go till the silly brian france "chase"). Jr can drive anything out there including the c**p that DEI was giving him the last 2 years he was there unfortunately...it is only a matter of time before he does in the haters naysayers and bandwagon shrub fans...give the guy a break. He doesn't seek the media crunch he gets every week and deserves respect for his blue collar integrity and determined driver ability. Jr is real hungry for victory lane and if for whatever reason his teammate(s) can't stick with him in a race, so be it. He's gotta go for broke.

Answer 4

I think he is adjusting to the COT car just fine, he is 3rd in points.  Doing great this year.  All he needed was the equipment.  As for helping his teammates,  all in good itme.  There are never close enough for him to help them,  except for talledega.

Answer 5

I still would have kept Kyle Busch & to all the Jr fans who say he is higher in the points than any other driver at HMS, that may be true, but those other 2 drivers have multiple championships & Jr has yet to win one & this the guy who many of his fans have dubbed the greatest driver in NASCAR in recent years.  Until he wins a championship, him being ahead of Jeff & Jimmie & it's not over just yet, it's not where you start, it's where you finish & Jr always finishes below 1st place in standings at the end of each season & this season shall not be any different

Answer 6

While there is room for improvment in terms of communication and a need to step it up on racedays a little more...I wouldn't exactly call a weekly top 5-10 place car running solidly third in points a bad thing.

Answer 7

Obviously, you know nothing about the subject and are a waste of time. Go to you tube and enjoy yourself.

How the fudge do you know if he is a team player or not.. because Jeffie did not get his way a Taladega????

Hmm, how many drivers join junior in the draft?

Answer 8

Deff hendrick is  Ultra Slow     Go Kyle #18!!

Answer 9

hes third in points higer than any of his teammates good choice rick

Answer 10

You're clearly an idiot.  I'm not a Jr fan so let me say that first.  But....the guy is third in points.  He has been a contender in many races this year.  Could he say that last year while with DEI?  Hendrick has clearly been the best team over the past several seasons.  Can you make one GOOD point as to why it was a bad move?

Answer 11

HMS-- involved in one of the biggest NASCAR mistakes possible...traded a future champion++++++for the #1 trinket seller,,Oh, Jr. will win again...stranger things happen--but what a joke...Mother Theresa can't stop laughing...

Answer 12

LOL ...Are you for real or just out trolling???  There is a long history between Hendrick and JR. JR makes good business sense and he is a quality, consistent driver. Hendrick was having so many sponsor issues with Kyle, it was only a matter of time before he was fired. Who would you have picked to put in that ride ? There is a lot of racing still to be seen, when Hendrick catches up with the power that Toyota is producing...it's game on.

Answer 13

jr is hendrick's new cash cow thats the only reason he was signed was for the money he can bring in

Answer 14

Uh, absolutely NOT. If you haven't noticed Junior is doing better than all 3 of his teammates and obviously you haven't even listened to anything the Hendrick team is saying Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson say all the time Junior is a big help and Junior the same with Jeff and Jimmie, so obviously your deaf.

Answer 15

I agree, HMS should have kept the more talented driver, Kyle Busch.

Answer 16

Hey moron check out these stats

     1)Junior is 3rd in points which is three ahead of Jimmie Johnson....7 ahead of Jeff Gordon... and is 24 positions ahead of Casey Mears, all his teammates.

     2)Jr is only 134 points behind the jack a** he replaced, and , by the way, is more of a Public Relations wonder than Kyle dreams of being.

    

     3)Jr's average finish since the switch is 10.27 which puts him in the top eleven most of the time. Jeff's is 16.55  (worse in case you didn't catch that) Jimmie's is 13.82 (also worse) and Casey's is 24.27 (hopefully by now you get the point)

So yes LOL, LOL indeed. But the only thing we are "Laughing Out Loud " about is your blatant stupidity

Answer 17

I don't think it was a mistake.  Hendrick got what he wanted the best merchandiser and money maker in NASCAR and Jr got a package deal for he and his cousin for a top ten ride.

Answer 18

I'm not a DEjr fan, but why would he be a mistake for HMS?  He's third in points and their most consistent driver.

Answer 19

Do you have a crystal ball or something? I'm amazed that you know how the season is going to end already this year-I think Dale fits in great with HMS. HMS has 3 drivers in the top 12 in points (actually top 10 but who's counting)

Just like Joe Gibbs-obviously the switch is working out well so far for both parties....there are still 24 races left I think so we'll see how the season ends.

Answer 20

I have noticed that he is not much of a team player.  I like the guy, he's a good driver.  The problem is that his fans think he's a great driver and refuse to acknowledge the obvious fact that if he was so great, there would bechampionships, and where are the wins for the past two years.

Answer 21

well, he's 3rd in points and he's showing every week that in equal eqipment, he's as good as any driver in NASCAR. what ever happened to all the haters who said before the season that junior was going to be 4th string at HMS? haven't heard a peep out of them since the season started

Answer 22

No he wasn't. and No he isn't. But it is you opinion, and it means 2 squats to me.

Answer 23

You must not really watch Nascar.

Answer 24

Give me a break! Jr has consistently run better than any of the other Hendrick drivers as well as better than most of the rest of Nascar this season   Being that this is far better than last year how could this be a mistake for Hendrick or JR? Also, getting fired was probably the best thing that ever happened to Kyle Busch. It obviously lite a fire under that slimy little brat and he is running pretty good right now although what goes around comes around so KB will start having his problems. For Jr to be compared to Gordon  as well as the other top drivers certainly shows he is a very good driver whether he matches their wins or not. Jr. is a class act and puts on a great show. I just wish people would get off his back and let him be Dale Jr. and not Dale Sr.!

Answer 25

even though i dont like hendrick motorsports no its not

Answer 26

How could it of been a mistake when he's doing better than any of his team mates and he's third in points? Jr did what was best for him as a driver and Rick Hendrick did what was best for his team by dumping cocky, bigmouth Kyle and picking up NASCAR'S most poplar driver.  Go Jr and HMS!!
