Agreed. Last week the 48, 24, 5, and even Brad Keselowski all had top 10 cars, all day long. And the 88 was trash yet again that Tony was unable to make better as the race went on. Again.

I mean granted, Junior may not be a top 5 nascar driver but he isnt this bad.

Try this on for size, in all of this year he has yet to be able to qualify the 88 in the top 10. Thats not on E as he has been a decent qualifier over his career, thats a car issue, and that falls squarely in Eury.

There is just no reason for that car to be that bad on a consistent basis with all the resources available to them at Hendrick. Its gotten the point that I know he wont run well unless Tony hits on a good setup by pure luck and watch the race just to see how Tony screws it up then with the hope Jr will actually win.

Just to add to this, here is where the Hendrick cars qualified this week at lowes.

Gorden third

Martin fourth

Johnson fifth

Jr 27th

When all the rest of the cars at Hendrick can qualify in the top 5 but one team cant even make the top 25 if might say something about the crew chief, just maybe. :rolleyes:

I think he will.

He's 34 and the life of a driver (who will never lose his ride) is up to 50 these days.

You have to ask yourself is he a good driver or not. (And does being a good driver matter in Nascar - whole 'nother thread). I think he is a great driver. Maybe one of the best restrictor plate. And I think hendrick would benefit from him winning a championship. Big time. More than Johnson again for sure. He wants to win, hendrick wants him to win.

Maybe Martin this year though ;)

The only thing about hendrick...do those drivers actually interact much?

I know I'm resurrecting old threads, but I haven't been able to get in here as much! :)

Yes, the drivers interact. Jeff and Jimmie are actually pretty good friends, but with new baby, Jeff is not as available (is anyone after new baby?). Not sure about Jimmie and Lil E, but Lil E and Rick go way back, and he and Jeff have always been friendly. And what can one say about Mark Martin? He is friends with everyone. Always has been. Class act.
