Question

Who is the most important Hendrick driver?

Answer 1

This year it has to be Jr...............Money machine and 2nd in the points

Answer 2

all but casey  no ofence i like him he isent a jack@$$ but he just ant the best driver but hms is puting more money into jr because it's his first year there not just because he has a biger fan base

Answer 3

Without a doubt, Tim Richmond.  

First driver ever to be part of a two driver team.  

Started Rick on the path to where and who he is today.

Important enough that they made a movie based on his 1986 season at HMS with Crew Chief Harry Hyde (Days of Thunder)

Answer 4

Id say Jr b/c when Gordon and Johnson are long gone he will still be winning races for HMS

Answer 5

The one that was let go Kyle Busch

Answer 6

its a no brainer....JEFF GORDON....

Answer 7

Money wise, it has to be Jr. without a question. He is now the money machine for HMS.

However, Gordon and Johnson, are extrememly an integral part of HMS.

But based on the economy and sponsorship money, I think it has to be JR.

Answer 8

Marketability - Dale Jr.

Current Strengths - Jimmie Johnson

Company History - Jeff Gordon

Longevity - Mark Martin

Answer 9

They all have their role in the team.

Jeff Gordon & Mark Martin are legends that you can learn nearly anything you need to know about the cars from.

Jimmie Johnson is a driver in his prime years, and has alot more success to come. He's won the championship twice, finished 2nd in points twice, and he's never finished outside the top 5 in points after 7 years of full-time racing. Pretty impressive.

Dale Jr. brings the money in, but he's also a great driver who can show his full potential now that he's with one of the best teams, if not THE best team in the series, and he's most likely gonna be a threat to win the championship the rest of his career with Hendrick.

Answer 10

It SHOULD be Jeff Gordon.

But it seems to be Dale Jr.

Answer 11

Jeff Gordon will always be the most important Hendrick driver!! Johnson, Jr and Mears can not compare to Jeff!

Answer 12

JEFF GORDON

Answer 13

They are totally focusing on Junya cause he brings in money while forgetting they have 2 better drivers on that team.

Answer 14

all but Casey Mears (no offense to him tho)

Dale Jr. brings in alot of money.

but Jeff has one 4 championships & Johnson has 2

armsapper87th...what do you mean when Jeff & Jimmie are long gone? i know Jeff is the oldest (36) but dale jr. is one year OLDER than Jimmie.

& im sure Rick Hendrick will be smart enough to keep Jeff & Jimmie for their whole careers.

Answer 15

will....if HENDRICK had to choose....he'd probably go JR because of popularity and blah blah blah...

i still think JEFFY G is the best on the team...ya know why

4 TIME BABY......4 TIME

Woulda been 5 but Jeff felt sorry for Jimmy....haha

im kidding!!!

Answer 16

Jimmie..........2 in a row with a chance for a 3peat.

Answer 17

I think at this point it time it has to be Jr. He is the most popular driver out there and brings in a lot of money for an organization. Also, right now he is the highest ranking Hendrick Driver.

Answer 18

Right now Jr is. Hendrick has to prove to the world he did not do something wreckless by signing Jr. Not to mention the crazy amounts of money Jr pumps in. That is one reason DEI is in trouble...they were making tons on just Bud stuff.

Answer 19

I'd like to say Jimmie but honestly, it's probably Dale Earnhardt Jr.

3 STR8 N 08!!!

Answer 20

All are. Gordon & Johnson I'm sure bring in the most sponsor dollars.

Answer 21

Gordon built HMS

Answer 22

That's Easy It's Jeff Gordon

Answer 23

Jeff Gordon & Jimmie Johnson for sure.  They have many wins & championships between them.
