Who would be on your NASCAR fantasy team?
9 Chase elliot alex bowman, And William Byron. That is the dream team now.😮
Jr - in that Bud car was bad fast
Talladega and Daytona. Thats it.
@@freedom6919741 lmao ur wrong.
@@freedom6919741 that's a good way to out yourself as clueless
I was a jr fan back in them early days but honestly I don’t disagree, jr won 26 races and about 10-12 of those wins came from only 2 tracks, everywhere else he just was mediocre at best, there’s so many drivers that, at the time he retired, hadn’t been there as long and won more races and performed more consistently, jr has done so much for the sport overall on and off the track but complete honesty he wasn’t a great driver unless he was at a restrictor plate track, even at Hendrick he only managed to win like 12-14 races over the course of 10 years. Harvick, Hamlin, and Larson, and maybe one or 2 more, have each had single seasons at one time or another where they won 8-10 races in a single season, jr never did that
@@freedom6919741actually statistics say he was better at Richmond than anywhere!
My opinion. If Dei had not been destroyed by the witch. Dale Jr would have won more races and probably a championship. That team was the team at that time. Just my opinion.
I pick Dale Jr over Chase Elliott. National Guard & AMP energy on Dale Jr car. My Former NASCAR driver was Dale Jr. I am fan of Alex Bowman & Chase Elliott.
Jr if Dale Sr hadn’t died, Jr would have been a 2-3 time cup champion, with DEI, and DEI would still be around to this day.
You don't live in reality.
At least 1 championship and 10 to 15 more wins
I'll agree Jr. Would have a way better record for wins, and at least a couple of championships, even if he had left the 8 Bud machine. It was the man he was raised by, that he feared, the man he respected most, the man he wanted to impress most, he needed to know he made the man proud, and anything above that would have been equivalent to Dale Sr. Winning the DAYTONA 500. with Ralph watching him.
What wasn't mentioned was the talented drivers Dale Jr competed against compared to Chase Elliott. Dale Sr, Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin, Tony Stewart, Kevin Harvick, Jimmy Johnson Busch brothers, Rusty Wallace, Ricky Rudd, Labonte Brothers etc. Who does Chase compete with? The talent today compared to back then isn't even close. That's why Nascar is hurting for fans and sponsorship.
You are absolutely 💯 % right. In Jr's times there was some bad to the bones driver's on the track.
Id go with Dale just based on the fact that he had to race against multiple legends of the sport, in the 2000s he had to race against a prime Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, and Tony Stewart while still having to race a few old legends with Mark Martin,Ricky Rudd, and Rusty Wallace and was still able to get 19 wins within that period, while setting numerous records that Chase has yet to accomplish, if you look at both of their careers up to this point Dale Jr has a Daytona 500, 4 Straight Talladega wins, 2 back to back Busch titles and 40+ wins across all of Nascar, Chase has less than 25 wins in all of Nascar and 1 Cup/1 Xfinity title. If you take a deep dive into it their bith very similar at this point in their careers with Dale Jr being a bit more successful on the stat column, Chase has been jn top equipment since hia Xfinity days with JRM then with HMS, Dale Jr accomplished his stats before 08' with the equivalent of a TrackHouse car today, DEI wasnt a big powerhouse team, DEI in Busch wasnt either, Dale was taking an average racecar and fighting for wins and championships with teams that had millions more invested into its development, back then the only advantage was RCR engines where more reliable, HMS had engines with better power, cars that were more aerodynamic, better suspensions for handling at intermediates literally everything HMS,RFR, and Gibbs has was indefinitely better than what DEI had. Chase has always had the luxury of having literally the best team with the best engine builders and best aero department with his cars. Dale Jr took a regular car and made it spectacular on track, from my perspective watching both races. Dale was able to do more woth far less. Which is why id pick Dale Jr over Chase.
I would also. JR transcended the sport and carried it, his 1yr in 2008 of souvenier sales itself probally beats chase for 5yrs. If Jr had a mentor, say Letarte from the start, we would have different stats
Wrong. Chase is number one in Merchandise sales and that's an increase in sales of 27% year to year, and an 11.7% increase over the past decade. Merchandise sales have been on the rise for decades. Sorry.
Chase is much more consistent than Jr was and is driving cars that are much more even than when Jr raced. According to stats & analytics, Chase is much better except for super-speedways.
Hamlin? Barf.
lol! That was the smartest pick of them all.
Blaney, Reddick, Rajah, Allgaier Now, if Blaney had the opportunity to go to Hendrick, yes he should go. Remember in the one of the episodes of the Netflix series I think when Rick congratulated Blaney & Roger said something like Don’t go and hire my driver. 🤔
Hamlin, Reddick, Custer, Karuth
I'm sure bristol had nothing to do with this
Definitely not lol
Or the decades-long friendship.
I still don't like Chase because of this race
Does Jr have a better track record than Elliot?
Dale Jr racing was way more exciting - Chase is great too.
Chase has ZERO personality
@@quix99So what.
I feel like Chase has somehow become the most underrated driver in Nascar
Larson, Bush, Truex, Logano,
To me jr. Racing change after. Corvette crash.
Gimme Elliott. Dales flat out said he was playing checkers out there. I hope chase is going for a check mate kind of career.
Jr and its not even close.
Blaney, Reddick, Gibbs, and Love
Kyle Busch, William Byron, Sam Mayer and Carson Kvapil
I like busch and byron but idk about mayer and carson. I feel like they are to early in to know
I was a jr fan untill he retired and now a chase fan .chase Elliott is a overall better driver then jr he won a championship which jr never did .i would take jr on speedways and chase on short tracks and road courses . And elliott is still a puppy in nascar .
My team would be Keselowski,Byron,Allgaier and Queen
Kevin Harvick is amazing on TV. He may be better than DW.
No one matches the charisma of DW.
Blasphemy
My NASCAR fantasy team
Jimmie Johnson
Dale Jr
Jesse Love
I’d also go the one guy I cannot spell his name but y’all know lol
Isn’t Hamlin the same age as AJ? Maybe even older?
Ross Chastain and shelden creed
does everyone forget about ben rhodes
Mamba picking blaney. Shocker…
Jr is great and all but if his last name wasn't Earnhardt he's not looked at nearly as fondly. He was one of the best restrictor plate racers ever, but otherwise he's just alright. I don't think his injuries over the years did him many favors.
It all changed after senior died and Teresa took over.
Flip the script. Chase wouldn't survive in the the Dale Jr era vs JJ JG TS KB Kb. Also IF I built a team it starts with Joey Logano, Chase Elliott, Tyler Reddick and Hill..
He raced against all those guys what are you talking about
What are you talking about? Chase is a cup champion already lol. He wouldn't survive? Ok drama queen lol.
I like how he says that and then still picks Elliott as his fantasy comment LOL
Jr. never won a championship. He rode his father's coattails. He wasn't great at mile and a half tracks. Did so-so on road courses. Chase is good on everything. Case closed. I'm not a fanboy of either, BTW. That's for losers.
Dale Earnhardt Jr was nothing like his dad the intimidator JS ...
who asked?
No. He isn't, but he has definitely filled the shoes in other ways.
Yeah, we should all strive to be deadbeat dads, dirty drivers, and low intelligence to avoid using proper safety devices which gets you killed.
I don't think he wanted to be. Like they said, to be like SR you had to live on the edge all the time. That's not Jr's personality. Plus no one can fill SR's shoes. The man was a one of a kind in racing.
@@shanesmith2317
That's right I agree
I herd him say one time
He rather play then be serious
Like Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson when he was driving for Hendrick Motorsports
Chase can't touch Jr in Bud car
You know I don't know about that I mean DEI probably still would not been around when I still been around today let's face the fact because it was like this Dale Jr told his stepmom you give me 50/50 or I walk I was told when his dad died his dad renew everything in his will he gave Dale Jr 50% of the DEI along with Teresa 50% and that's what he wanted from his stepmom 50/50 or he would have walked and that's exactly what he did he walked now did Dale Jr made the right decision to walk out on the yeah I think so I mean look at where he's at today he's in the Nascar Hall of Fame he's in the Charlotte Hall of Fame with his home of the Hall of Fame NASCAR drivers .? @aaronz9410
