Thats my point DEI was only concerned about 1 car and that was truex…as far as menard goes hes just taking up space he wouldnt even be at dei if werent for his dad sponsoring the car.

If I was Junior, I’d have taken Darian Grubb for my crew chief. He is brilliant. He won Daytona after Knaus was suspended in 2006.

Junior is just right in his rankings. Racing Hendrick Equipment will give him a edge this year.
His only draw back will be his crew chief or lack of a good one as the case may be.
His couz is a slow learner at best and will never be in the group of top 5 rated crewchiefs.

Ok lee, well look at how many engines Paul Menard lost.. had to have been as much as Jr. Thier engines were having reliability issues altogether, everyone was losing motors.

CHarter dont you find it odd that jr had what 7or8 engines go bad how many did truex have? maybe 1,and teresa didnt care if the 8 car made the chase as long as it finished in top 35 in points is all she cared about.

Sam has the ratings odds down perfect. We didn’t see the odds of all the other drivers. I think there might be a spoiler coming from the back of the field. lets go racing,boys ya Daytona 2008 and I can’t wait.

Ok…honestly, If DEI had such “bad” equiptment, then why did Truex run so well and Jr run so poorly?. Also, to those who will say DEI gave Jr bad cars…No team would sabatoge their chances at winning.. Dale had a bad season, it happens to ALL drivers. Dale Jr is a decent driver, hes not Gordon or Johnson caliber and probably shouldn’t be rated 8-1 odds, but he will have a good season next year, but not a title

I agree with you as well Sam
Jr had bad equipment,even though he raced his heart out
kinda hard to win with crappy cars, so long DEI

Exactly! I agree with you Sam. DEI sucked last season…..its a good thing that Jr went over to Hendrick!

[quote comment="31932"]Dale Jr. fails to finish 25% of the races in ’07 yet is rated 8-1 with Kenseth…he doesn’t even compare! Ridiculous…[/quote]

They are rating him on his ability not the bad equipment that he had at DEI.

Watch out for old Smoke next season… if the same thing happens like it did in the truck series for Toyota… watch out!!! You cant tell me Toyota hasnt been perfecting the COT on their own time to share with its teams… especially Gibbs. I agree with you, Jeff.

Guess the uncertainty of the Toyota switch has hurt Smoke’s odds… I’d take him at 10/1 before I took Jr at 8/1. Funny that Hamlin and Busch are twice as big of long shots as Stewart, even though Hamlin beat Tony this year and Kyle had a pretty good year too.
