[HAIL PIKEVILLE!]

I like Dale Jr., but with all honesty, I cannot say he is a great driver. I'm not going to be as critical of DJr as others, but without the name Earnhardt, his number of wins does not make him great. Take his wins and point standings and compare them with the rest of the drivers over that same period and you can see who he is comparable with, which is not a list of great drivers.

If Gordan retires, slide Djr into that crew :Thumbs:

The only drivers who have won more races since 2000 (Jrs Rookie Year) are: Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, and Jimmie Johnson. That puts him in some pretty elite company dont you think? Hes won more races than Matt Kenseth, Kurt Busch, Ryan Newman, and Greg Biffle with nowhere near the equipment that any of them have had before he came to Hendrick and still without a crew chief not even in the same ball park as what those drivers have had. Hendrick will find Jr a crew chief that understands this new car and can make in race adjustments then you willl se how good Jr really is.
