Dale Jr Ranks Jimmie Johnson Alongside His Father

Is Jimmie Johnson as good as Dale Earnhardt

Dale Earnhardt Jr said that Jimmie Johnson – knocking on the door of a 4th NASASR Championship – was just as good as Dale Earnhardt, Richard Petty and David Pearson.

“You definitely have to put him there in with my father, Richard and David Pearson, and all them guys,” Dale Earnhardt Jr said.

Do you agree with Junior? Does Jimmie Johnson belong in the same class as Dale Earnhardt?

  2. Are you kidding me Junior, Jimmie never moved anyone over to win a race,, get a life and stop trying to make points at HMS…………

  3. Janis Strawbridge on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 4:47 pm
  4. Yes, of course I would agree with Dale Jr….Jimmie Johnson definitely ranks just a great as any of the NASCAR top ranking great drivers!! How could he not? For goodness sakes…look at all he has accomplished!! And,… besides that, he still is a nice guy …I think he is fabulously awesome!!!

  6. Yes he defintely belongs there as long as they don’t find that they have been cheating! I hate to admit this but, they have got this thing figured out!!!

  7. LuvinSmoke on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 4:49 pm
  8. I think JJ will rank up there with those guys as far as championships are concerned. But he will never match the likes of Earnhardt and Petty in driving ability.

  9. Marge on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 4:49 pm
  10. If Dale Jr. thinks he is,guess I would have to agree he would certainly know if anyone would.

  11. BigTimeJG24Fan on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 4:50 pm
  12. I think so

  13. 4EVER3 on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 4:51 pm
  14. Don’t want to take anything away from Jimmie,For the racing they have now,He is THE MAN!!In fact I’d not be surprised if he gets this cup and goes for another one next season.In witch case,More power to him and his team.As good as Dale Sr.?Depends on one’s outlook I guess.For me,4EVER3!!!

  15. tcbpat88 on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 4:52 pm
  16. I love Jr..and in ways I guess he might be right, in some ways but lets just wait and see..time will tell..they said that about Gordon too…but he still hasnt reached that magic number 7, (NO ONE HAS & DALE SR. HAS BEEN GONE YEARS) if Johnson does EVER… than you can put him with the great ones till then..its just a wait and see game.

  17. RJ on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 4:53 pm
  18. Jimmy s better. He doesn t have to move anybody over to win !!!

  19. dw on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 4:56 pm
  20. hey is very good at all he does and yes he does rank right up they with richard : dale and junior he is a very great driver

  21. mred777 on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 5:01 pm
  22. J.J. is good , no doubt about. but, Sr. is the real Mr. Nascar. Not just in the car, but on the track, and in personal life. From nothing to the best of the best. And a little prankster along the way. #3 Alltime. J.J. has got 20years to go yet before I put him equal.

  23. Herb on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 5:07 pm
  24. I think Jimmie is a great driver, but I don’t know if he is another Dale Sr., no one could figure out the draft better then dale Sr., I like Jimmie, and I hope they don’t find out he is cheating, I just can’t believe any car is that much faster then the rest of the cars racing,I don’t know what Chad has figured out, buy it is awesome. anyway, good luck Jimmie on your fourth title.

  25. Joel Bailey on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 5:10 pm
  26. NO. Jeff Gordon gave Jimmie championship cars
    and one of the best, if not the best crew chief in nascar. Dale Sr. started from the bottom and worked his way up in cars that were not even close to the cars they have today.

  27. George Moffatt on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 5:10 pm
  28. I do not think he is any were near Dale Sr.mabe in a few more year’s and he start’s to drive like Dale Sr. did>>Then I might consider it

  29. Smoky on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 5:12 pm
  30. How about they find out they have been cheating. Can we say traction control? Just saw them messing in the steering column– probably installing their secret weapon making sure JJ knows where it is and how to remove it during the cool down lap so the officials can’t find it.

  31. Smoky on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 5:16 pm
  32. They are cheating. Chad has it figured how to hide it. There is no way one car IS this much better without some technology the others DO NOT have.

  33. John on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 5:18 pm
  34. Yes I would have to say he is just as good !!!
    one is hard to win so 4 in a row is AWESOME and I think Dale Sr. would say the same !!

  35. Lisa on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 5:29 pm
  36. I think your right

  37. Racemaster on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 5:32 pm
  38. ABSOLUTELY! No further comment needed.

  39. Donna on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 5:42 pm
  40. Iagree that Sr. Started in bare roots racing and climbed the ladder of success with speed and passion. The racing and the cars are different now.I think JJ is one of the best 5 drivers, but I KNOW that Chad is the man! He is the best ever! There are a few that have a slight chance to be as good!

  41. Sam on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 5:43 pm
  42. Well yes if anybody knows DEJr should know, at least JJ don’t put people out of the race to win like DE did.

  43. Randy King on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 5:43 pm
  44. i agree… if there was NO chase. there would be NO jimmie.. lol

  45. DAWG ONE on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 5:44 pm
  46. IN MY BOOK DALE SR. WAS THE BEST ON AND OFF THE TRACK. SR. DIDN’T ALWAYS HAVE THE BEST CARS BUT HE STILL WON.

  47. harry kimmey on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 5:46 pm
  48. CAN’T COMPARE THE RACES TODAY WITH BACK THEN. D.W. WILL TELL YOU THAT. THOSE GUYS RACED,TODAY IS YOUNG GUYS AND THE MONEY GAME.THEY FART ARROUND MOST OF THE LAPS ABOUT LIKE A HORSE RACE. JOHNSON IS GOOD FOR TODAY DRIVERS BUT NOT BACK THEN. THOSE DRIVERS WOULD OUT DRIVE HIM AND GET HIM OUT OF THE WAY. HOW ABOUT THE BORRING TRUCK MEET,NOT A RACE. ONLY ONES EXCITED WAS BUSH AND THE MIKE JOCKEYS.

  49. Randy King on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 5:46 pm
  50. jr has no idea what he is talking about.. he also said “he has a better chance of winning the championship @ hms”.. damn he was so wrong about that..

  51. Donna on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 5:47 pm
  52. Dale Earnhardt Sr. Will always be THE MAN! Those that didn’t like him were still amazed! He would have hated the COT

  53. DAWG ONE on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 5:49 pm
  54. DALE JR. DON’T EVEN KNOWN HOW TO HIT THE PITS LET ALONE WIN A RECE HIS DAYS OF RIDING HIS DADS COATTAILS ARE OVER AND NO ONE WILL EVER MATCH SR. OR PETTY, THEY WERE REAL DRIVERS AND NOT CRY BABIES I.E. J. JOHNSON.

  55. Randy King on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 5:50 pm
  56. Dale Sr = best ever (jimmie doesn’t come close)

  57. Candi on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 5:51 pm
  58. NO WAY!! No one could ever replace Big Daddy Earnhardt!!!! AND, a big time “DITTO” on all the comments that believe like me

  59. wayne thomas on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 5:53 pm
  60. Jimmy Johnson may be headed for 4th championship right now and dale jr says he is as good as Sr but that remains to be proven,dale Sr was not called the Intimidator for nothing and Dale Jr needs to get his crew together and start being like his Dad was Dale Sr will forever be the top driver and yah he is in Nascar Hall of Fame on his First attempt

  61. Pam M. on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 5:57 pm
  62. Dale Earnhardt, Petty & Pearson are all in a class of their own-Jimmie Johnson will never be like Dale Earnhardt, hard as he might try, because there is nobody like Earnhardt, Sr.

  63. Debra on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 5:57 pm
  64. I think that Jimmy Johnson should be in the same field as Dale Sr., Richard Petty and all the others.

  65. DW on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 5:59 pm
  66. There is no way if they all raced together back when SR, Petty and Pearson raced he wouldn’t even qualify. I agree with Dawg without the Chase crap there would be no Jimmy Johnson.

  67. John Gee on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 6:01 pm
  68. HELL NO !!! When he goes from 17th to first in 4 laps, he will be just as good…

  69. linda bobbitt on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 6:36 pm
  70. there is no way Jimmy Johnson will ever be as good as dale sr.I think Jr.needs to drive more like his father,maybe he can win a race.Johnson is good at hiding how to cheat .

  71. Judie on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 6:38 pm
  72. No one is saying JJ is better than the LEGANDS named, only do we think he is good enough to be up there with them.Like JJ , or not, he has done what nobody else ever has, & many never will.He has earned his way up the ladder. To be that good, every week, iot does seem like they are cheating, but your innocent til proven guilty. To get a compliment from Dale Jr, abt being as good as his father, has got to be as good as any trophy.There never has been anybody that can stand by Dale Sr, in anyway. Putting JR down for saying this is tortally uncalled for.JR tells it like it is, like it,or not, he is his fathers son, & gives credit where it’s do..

  73. Debra on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 6:42 pm
  74. I think JJ is a good driver but he will never be in the class with Dale Sr., Richard Petty or Pearson.

  75. Debra on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 6:44 pm
  76. June bug better watch what he is doing? He needs to learn a few things from JJ so he can win a championship.

  77. Audrey on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 7:14 pm
  78. I agree Jimmie don’t hold a candle to Dale Sr.

  79. sarge on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 7:17 pm
  80. no one can take Dale’s place in my mind and a lot of other people.s

  81. bruce althouse on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 7:18 pm
  82. As a forever Dale Sr fan I dont belive JJ in the same class as other three champs. But the other RACERS never had the so called CHASE! I do not like the present Chase deal. JJ is in a class of his and NASCAR’s.

  83. AngelByrne on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 7:22 pm
  84. No way in all that is holy is Jimmie Johnson as good as Earnhardt Sr.He doesn’t have the killer instinct . The only thing hs has going for him is HMS equipment and Chad Knaus.Left on his own Johnson would be just a so so driver.

  85. darterdad on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 7:27 pm
  86. not even close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  87. darterdad on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 7:29 pm
  88. not even close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SR.WAS ONE OF A KIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  89. Bev Estabrooks on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 7:30 pm
  90. Can you imagine what Earnhardt could have done with the money and equipment that Jimmy Johnson has available to him. Earnhardt was all talent. Johnson is all money and yes a little bit of talent. I find it hard to believe Junior said that , but I guess everybody has a slip of the tongue once in a while. GO MARTIN GO .

  91. Mama Donia on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 7:37 pm
  92. NO!!!!! I LIKE JIMMIE A LOT, BUT HE IS NOT AS GOOD AS DALE,SR. LOOK BACK AT SOME OF THE RACES THAT SR. WAS IN, WHEN HE SURE DIDN’T HAVE THE BEST CAR, ALSO SOME RACES WHEN HE WOULD BE BUNCHED UP IN A PACK ALMOST WRECKED, HE’D COME OUT OF IT SOME WAY. I DON’T THINK JIMMIE HAS THE TALENT TO RUN IN SOME TIGHT PLACES LIKE DALE DID AND THE SITUATIONS WHERE DALE WOULD DRIVE TO THE FRONT NO MATTER WHAT.

  93. Bev Estabrooks on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 7:38 pm
  94. CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT SR COULD HAVE DONE WITH THE MONEY AND EQUIPMENT THAT JIMMY HAS AVAILABLE. THAT PLUS CHAD KNAUS IS THE REASON JIMMY IS HAVING THE SUCCESS HE IS HAVING.JIMMY IS A VERY GOOD DRIVER BUT HE IS NOT A GREAT ONE AS SR WAS .

  95. Janie on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 7:45 pm
  96. Dale Sr. was the best of the best.Jimmie is good with the best of everthing.Why does everone thinks he cheats when Kyle Bush has the only fast car in the nation wide. He has a jet engine in all his cars. All you hear is how fast he is.Is he cheating too. Maybe no one to hear it but Jimmie is just good. I would love for Mark Martin to win.

  97. Earnhardt fan forever on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 7:45 pm
  98. NO!! JIMMY IS GOOD, BUT HE IS NO EARNHARDT AND HE PROVED THAT TO ME AT TALLADEGA. EARNHARDT WOULD NEVER RIDE AROUND IN THE BACK LIKE JOHNSON DID. I DON’T THINK JOHNSON WOULD BE THAT GOOD WITH ANOTHER CREW CHIEF.

  99. james on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 7:48 pm
  100. No way he is just lucky and like they said chad has firgured out how to hide their cheating or they are paying nascar off one. There is noway their luck and racing could be that much better than the rest of the drivers. We all know Chad is a cheater he has been suspended how many times already but he is slick with it.

  101. jnnlcl1 on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 7:56 pm
  102. if there wasnt a chase jimmy would win one championship not alone 4

  103. jnnlcl1 on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 8:00 pm
  104. look at it this way lowes owns nascar

  105. Curtis on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 8:05 pm
  106. Yes! You don’t have to move someone out of the way to consider a great race car driver. You just have to do what he is doing keep everyone else from doing what they want to do.

  107. Mike Bright on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 8:11 pm
  108. He will never compare with those guys. Two totally different eras and different cars. Heck Nascar is not the same as it was in those days! How very sad it is what NASCAR has become. Not knocking JJ, he is the great one in todays Nascar. What would have those guys accomplished today? I enjoyed it much more in the 70, 80 and 90s. I used to go to several a year and watch from start to finish the others, not anymore. I can watch the last 30 minutes and the highlights. Its become as boring as watching baseball in spanish…

  109. Ed on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 8:16 pm
  110. If Jr. would Go to a team Of his Own, Like Micheal Waltrip did,Take Eurway Sr. with Him, I think Dale Sr. Would Approve, And Jr. would be a winner. Then Theresa Earnhart would be sorry for what she did to jr. and the Earnhardt fame would continue.

  111. Cathy Hines on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 8:19 pm
  112. No way, HMS has paid Nascar off so they can cheat. No body can hold a candle to Earnhart Sr., not even Jr. he was the best and always will be. J.J. is a good cheater and that is about it.

  113. Mindfreak on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 8:22 pm
  114. After reading all the replies, I have to make a point. You can’t compare what someone done in another era to someone now. Nascar has changed the rules so much that I could drive a Sprint car now. That’s like comparing Tiger Woods to Jack Nicklaus, the equipment is different now. And some of you saying that Dale Sr. would knock them out of the way, well just remember what he told them, “If you can’t stay ahead of me, get out of the way.” Now if you can’t stay ahead, its called blocking. A lot of racing died along with Dale Sr.

  115. SCOTT GIBB on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 8:43 pm
  116. JR nas said he will be like his dad and you guys never give up

  117. Pegi on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 9:05 pm
  118. I have to disagree with JR – no way!!!

  119. Jay Ray on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 9:06 pm
  120. NO I don’t think jimmy is as good as dale sr. or Richard it was a different time back then and the cars were not as fined tuned as they are now. The thing I wonder about how come during the regular season jimmy was SO SO then the chase comes along and he becomes Superman???

  121. AZomah on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 9:07 pm
  122. Jr, jj will never be the man your Dad was, off the track or on it.

  123. Mavis on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 9:17 pm
  124. It’s hard to compare drivers of today with drivers back when Sr & Petty were racing. JJ lost my respect at Talledega. At true racer wouldn’t have ridden around at the back all day. They would have been up racing to show the fans a good race. Remember what happened to Edwards when he tried that. He ended up taking out a lot of good cars when he finally decided to race. As for JJ I’m not sure if he was ever going to race in that one (just ride around).

  125. nashtater on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 9:18 pm
  126. I TOTALLY AGREE HOWEVER YOU ARE THE NEXT CHAMP GO JR GO 2010

  127. Kimmy on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 9:36 pm
  128. I think Jimmy is a great driver!! I never cared for Jimmy until this year. Of course you have these cry babies that aren’t as good as Jimmy, or Dale or any of them and when they’re not as competive as the top drivers they’re going to come up with this excuse that someone is cheating!! Grow up losers!!!!
    Dale, Sr. could start in the back and always end up in the front. I feel so bad for Dale, Jr. because he shouldn’t be compared to his dad. I love Dale, Jr. and it seems as though when Sr. died a part of Jr. went with him. I will always be an Earnhardt fan no matter what place Jr finishes!!

  129. Tom5576 on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 9:39 pm
  130. Dale Earnhardt and Richard Petty will always be the best, because they raced the old way and battle to the end. Today, Nascar is totally different and I really prefer to go back to the 80′s style racing again. Everybody had a chance to be a champion but this new way is throwing everything off.
    Jimmie will never be like Earnhardt, ever. No way. Also, Chad cheated too much in the beginning and I wonder if he is still doing it but Nascar having a hard time finding it if he is.
    I know Jimmie going to win his 4th championship, but, wow, I hope he screw up and Mark Martin win it. If Jimmie win it again, I will watch the races but when it come to the Chase for the Cup, it better to turn the tv off starting next Sept 2010 and just wait for Daytona to come around. You all know Jimmie going to win those races when he in the chase.
    Nothing to look forward to or your favorite driver never will get a chance. How about we throw Jimmie over to the Formula One racing and then we can see a totally different chase for the cup. A guy can dream about that.

  134. jimmie is good

  135. blondie on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 9:50 pm
  136. jj aint cheating just good

  137. Grace on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 9:52 pm
  138. J.J. doesn’t even belong in the same league with Dale Sr. Chad Knause is the biggest cheater going and j.j. knows all about it. You see Chad Knause said he would do anything to win a race. The last time Nascar said it was close and would penalize them later because of th chase.Go Jr.

  139. Marie on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 9:54 pm
  140. Nobody can measure up to Dale Earnhardt. He was one helluva racecar driver! He made races exciting.

  141. Kimmy on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 10:17 pm
  142. I agree with you 100% If Jr does something wrong, he will admit to it! I’m sure it took a lot for him to say Jimmie was up there with his Dad!!!

  143. Mary Ellen on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 10:27 pm
  144. I do not believe that Jimmie Johnson is or
    will ever be as good as Dale was. The reason
    is Jimmie is good but without Chad and his
    team that have been with him from the begining
    he would not be there…. It takes his whole
    team, they are all excellent at each joy and that puts
    JImmie there to win… It take them all.Dale
    was an excellent driver and could get his
    car to win at times when you wonder how
    he did that…..
    Also, look at the equipment he and his team
    have to work with……at Hendrick Motor co.
    Nothing but the best. Look at some of the
    equipment Dale had and what he did.
    As good as Jeff Gordon, he has changed Crew Chiefs 3 times and crew members. He is
    struggling> As for Junior, he has not forgotten how to drive… look at his record.
    He need to crew chief and crew members 100 per
    cent there everyweek …..I believe he will
    find the match at Hendrick and get back to
    winning race and etc.
    Lets all give people there due but think before
    making some of the above statements.

  147. DW on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 10:45 pm
  148. I think some people wanted to make history happen because of the failing NASCAR popularity. So Hendricks gave Johnson all the good equipment and tricks to win when the Chase comes up. Martin and Gordon were doing good until the Chase began.

  149. Janie on Sat, 21st Nov 2009 10:56 pm
  150. Wow, there are a lot of different opinions out there. Let’s not forget that everyone IS entitled to their opinion. This is still the United States of America!!!!

  156. jimmie will never be as good as the other drivers. he is a good driver he won’t be put in the same area as dale sr

  157. goldie on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 12:02 am
  158. Four consecutive wins is certainly something to be proud of and my hats off to JJ, BUT there is no comparison between Dale Sr’s driving and Jimmie’s driving. Of all the races I have attended and watched on TV, I have never seen Dale Sr. get in a line and bide his time just riding around the track as JJ did. Oh, no, Dale Sr. would be right up there passing all he could to get to the front. They drive entirely different. If JJ gets to the 7th championship, I may reconsider…..

  159. Victor Swanson on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 12:03 am
  160. NO WAY!!! DALE SR. WAS THE BEST ALONG WITH PEARSON AND PETTY

  161. DW on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 12:09 am
  162. WOW This IS the United States of Ammerica that’s why we each are stating our opinions and freedom of speech.

  164. NOT TAKING IT AWAY FROM JIMMY HE IS A GOOD DRIVER BUT TO CONSIDER HIM AS GOOD AS EARNHART SR.I DON’T THINK JIMMY WOULD HAVE BEEN THAT GOOD AGAINST THE MAN WITH THE BLACK #3 THERE WAS ALOT WHO TRIED AND IF WE WOULD NOT HAVE LOST HIM WHO KNOWS WHAT HISTORY WOULD OF BEEN AND WHAT THE OUT COME WOULD OF BEEN SO WE WILL LEAVE IT AT THAT…………………

  172. Jimmy has a different style but is better in some ways.No matter what anyone has to say he gets the job done in his style.

  174. JJ will never be as good as Dale Sr.

  175. Sherri Tolley on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 2:17 am
  176. NO WAY!! Jr. and Sr. are a name all their own. No one will ever take the place of Sr., and give Jr. a decent car, and a decent crew chief, and he will be as good as he used to be. He trys – he has what it takes – the car doesn’t.

  177. Sherri Tolley on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 2:21 am
  178. NO – Jimmie Johnson is not now or ever will be as good as Dale, Sr., NO WAY!! Dale Sr & Dale, Jr., just can’t be beat. I will still put my money on Jr., and I will still have my pickup done up like the 88 – and it was like the 8 for 3 years. Give Dale a good car, a good crew chief, and let him RACE! Get off his back!!

  179. Doowah on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 3:28 am
  180. I can’t believe all of you people calling Jr a liar. Well it’s been two years now and with all the good equipment and all that money and Jr still can’t win a race. I guess he is a liar and a bad driver now. Shame on you people.

  181. swampy on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 4:37 am
  182. These are different times that when BIG E raced. Totally different circumstances too. JJ sure has proven his ability to drive and win. Chad is part of his team and everything is in place. This just doesn’t come to all the drivers………….when it’s your turn, it’s your turn. Why do we have to compare drivers from different times? Let’s just wish JJ a well done season (again) and be happy for his situation. Now about Junebug? Ride out the slump as it will turn around in time. Go 88

  183. vdeputy on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 4:54 am
  184. Didn’t he move Denny Hamlin over to win at Martinsville?

  185. vdeputy on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 5:11 am
  186. Yes, Jimmie deserves to be right there with Earnhardt and Petty. D.W. agrees and so does Dale Jarrett and I’d think they’d know more than people who post on a message board. As for Dale Sr’s equipment, he mostly raced for Childress which was then and still is a primo team. Their styles are completely different but their results are the same. They get the wins needed to get the championship.

  187. CHAZ on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 5:38 am
  188. i dont believe junebug said that,i need proof

  189. Carylon Robinson on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 5:51 am
  190. I’ve been a Nascar fan forever and I disagree
    with Jr.Dale Sr.had a hard determined life to
    make his dream come true to be a racer. He was
    a legend in his era and to this day, Jimmy does
    not in any matter became the man Dale was.

  191. Rick Moss on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 6:37 am
  192. First of all, ain’t no way in hell JJ can hold a candle to Sr. and Petty. I admit he’s good, but what with all the changes that Nascar has made (rules and the “car of tomorrow”) I don’t think JJ could handle the way racing used to be. I think Jr. Johnson put it plan and simple, ” if you were to take the drivers of today and put them in a car back when racing was racing, yester-years, less than a hand full could have took it, and Sr. is definitely one that could have”.
    Johnson, as good as he may be will never touch the likes of the Greats such as Earnhardt Sr., Richard Petty, David Pearson and Junior Johnson. NUFF SAID !!!!

  193. mike stoffregan on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 9:30 am
  194. Jimmie Johnson is a good driver, and has a excellent crew cheif but will never be in Dale Sr class on or off the the track. Im a Earnhardt fan andwill always be one.

  195. REGAN on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 9:45 am
  196. THATS THE BIGGEST LAUGH I HAVE HAD ALL YEAR!!!! HE IS GOOD BUT HE AINT THAT GOOD! NASCAR WANTS DRAMA AND THEY GOT IT. IT IS MESSING UP THE SPORT. IF JJ HAD TO DRIVE WHEN RACING WAS RACING HE WOULD BE CRYING LIKE A BABY.

  197. frank on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 9:51 am
  198. Like to see “times” exchanged and see if either could do what they have accomplished…

  199. Tom on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 10:05 am
  200. Nay , Nay!!
    Can’t hold a stick to Dale SR.

  201. cat on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 10:28 am
  202. Man you got be sick Dale SR nobody come closet to Him. Jimmie is good, but Iwant say hegot anything on Dale SR, THE MAN IS STILL NUMBER IN MY BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  203. cat on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 10:29 am
  204. Man you got be sick Dale SR nobody come closet to Him. Jimmie is good, but I want say he got anything on Dale SR, THE MAN IS STILL NUMBER 1 IN MY BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  205. MIKE on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 10:47 am
  206. just because you are at hendricks does not require you to make stupid and dumb statements
    that jimmie is as good as Dale Earnhardt.
    get real you can not be that stupid

  207. mamadew88 on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 11:32 am
  208. Times have changed! There is NO comparasion between the two drivers. Today is a computerized world, rules have changed, cars have changed, it’s not your father’s kind of race. With Jimmie it’s the car, and not the driver. If everyone had the same chances in life, we would all be the same, have the same status in life. Racing, like life is nothing more than a crap shoot.

  209. harry kimmey on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 11:33 am
  210. didn’t watch all the nationwide race ,got it later on commuter, waste of time, mark up another borring race. at least baby 11 made it a little exciting for a minute. you talk about a cry baby, took lessons from kyle. did you notice all the empty seats? about johnson wins, nascar people not as smart as johnsons crew chief. like i said they all cheat at times. give jr. johnsons car and he will still lose the race, got to have it all to win.

  211. MrDuffy on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 11:34 am
  212. Is NASCAR fixed like “rasslin”?

  213. Doug Collins on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 12:05 pm
  214. Jimmie Johnson is not anywhere near the same league as Dale, Senior. Junior must’ve had too many Budwieser/ Amp enrgy drink cocktalis before he spit out that untruth. Robby Gordon could contend for a champioship in one of those Hendrick cars. Jimmy is certainly not Cale Yarborough either.

  215. Doug Collins on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 12:05 pm

  217. june patton on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 12:57 pm
  218. Wow,those are some harsh words, If you put JJ in the cars that Jr. has and the crew chief too, wonder how he would do? You can’t win if your car won’t go. Like taking a trip, if the car is no good, you won’t leave the drive-way. Give Jr. good cars and pit crew and see what he does. No one will ever take #3 place. I love Jr. too.

  219. Chriss on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 1:06 pm
  220. No Dale was good in his day but it was different then the cars have changed, we have the better safty equipment to protect our drivers, and lets face it nascar has made some pretty tough rules that the dale and the other guys didn’t have to deal with. So being a Jr. a fan myself I think I would half to agree with him. Sorry guys

  221. MrDuffy on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 1:25 pm
  222. Either way, I’m not wishing Jimmie Johnson bad luck or anything, but I hope his car breaks in the first lap and can’t be fixed.
    Go Mark Martin! This should be your year.
    I don’t care what they think.
    Old men need trophies too and Mark deserves it!

  223. Melanie Adkins on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 2:01 pm
  224. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE JOKING? I WOULD NEVER PUT JIMMIE JOHNSON IN DALE SR.S LEAUGE. HE IS NOWHERE EVEN CLOSE.

  225. Lloyd on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 2:17 pm
  226. I agree NASCAR screwed up with the chase.Before you had to be good all season not just ten races

  227. Ms Pat on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 2:54 pm
  228. I’m with you MrDuffy. I want to see Mark Martin win today.JJ doesn’t compare in anyway to Dale,Sr. I do not Like the Chase! I want to go back the old way-36 races. Love double car starts.Sure wish I knew what Jr.’s problem is that he is not able to win any races.Love the Smoke. Just this close to quit going to and watching NASCAR races. I feel they are letting jj & crew chief cheat just like rasslin! They (NAscar) choose who they want to win and go for it.

  229. DEE 'LIL BIT' WILLIAMS on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 2:55 pm
  230. HERE COMES TROUBLE: YOU ALL KNOW THAT I ALWAYS AGREE WITH DALE JR RIGHT OR WRONG. HE HAS SAID PREVIOUSLY THAT HE WAS NOT HIS DADDY AND NEVER WILL BE -I AGREED- BUT DALE THIS IS ONE TIME I HAVE TO DISAGREE WITH YOU. JOHNSON WILL NEVER BE IN THE SAME CLASS AS SR OR EVEN YOU JR. JOHNSON IS NOTHING BUT A CHAD CLONE AND THAT IS WHAT IS SO DISGUSTING EVEN THOUGH HE WINS HE WILL NEVER BE IN THE SAME CATAGORY AS THE EARNHARDTS. YOU DALE JR ARE AN EXCELLENT DRIVER AND YOU HAVE TO DRIVE WHAT THEY GIVE YOU AND YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT. THERE IS A CREW MEMBER AT THE HENDRICK ORGANIZATION THAT IS FRAP’N UP THE 88 IN ORDER TO KEEP THE 5,24,48 UP FRONT. THINK ABOUT IT JR FANS IF JR IS DOING WELL SOMETHING ALWAYS HAPPENS TO THE 88 EITHER MAJOR OR MINOR. EVEN A PERSON WITH ANY MECHANICAL TRAINING AT ALL CAN SCREW UP A CAR IN A SECOND. ALSO THE HENDRICK ORGINIZATION HAS HAD MORE MEDIA COVERAGE THIS YEAR THAN ANY OTHER YEAR EVEN THOUGH JOHNSON WON LAST YEAR MEDIA COVERAGE WAS MINIMAL AT LEAST. NOW HMS ORGANIZATION IS BEING SHOVED DOWN MY THROAT TO WHERE I WANT TO GAG. EVEN THAT STUPID KYLE BUSCH AND THAT SMARTASS DENNY HAMLIN. THATS ANOTHER STORY I WILL GET ON THAT SADDLE LATER. BUT REALLY PEOPLE THE MEDIA COVERAGE IS BEING DONE AT DALE JR’S EXPENSE AND IT SEEMS TO ME THEY ARE ALL MAKING A FOOL OUT OF JR. SCREW THE HMT ORG I WILL ONLY ROOT FOR DALE EARNHARDT JR AND CONTINUE TO PURCHASE HIS MERCHANDISE. ‘lil bit’

  231. Evie on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 3:16 pm
  232. NO WAY Jimmie Johnson is like Dale Sr. I like Dale Jr. and hope he wins a CHAMPION soon. He must have been inhailing to much exhaust flumes.

    Dale Jr. good luck in 2010 season.

  233. AZomah on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 3:21 pm
  234. Thank you for saying what I have not had the nerve to say. Actually what alot of people have not said. I quit supporting hms when they told Jr. not to race, just to help another driver win. Course some of us knew this stuff was going to happen, but he had no where else to go and most of us wanted him away from the previous car owner. Things will work out for him.

  235. Adel Vaughn on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 3:44 pm
  236. Please stop saying that!!! Jr. is the best and i’m sure next year he is going to show it to all the people who is talking bad about him.

  237. Pete on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 3:54 pm
  238. Yeah and obama is going to fix the economy!!jj is good but not great.The chase is not yesteryears. #3 always!!

  239. jimdy on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 4:07 pm
  240. Yes Jimmie Johnson is in the top class with those drivers. No, he is not Sr. They each have all deserved there places as winners. Why is it in any sport when a team does awesome more than once, everyone gets their panties in a bunch? Same with the Yankees, etc etc. When you’re… good you’re good. Period. The 48 Team is awesome. They win. duhhh! Why be a hater. Same with Kyle B. he is an awesome driver no matter where you put him. He has a passion for racing that is very admirable. I love Nascar, I like all the drivers, I don’t know them personally in order NOT to like them. At first I wasnt sure about the chase either. But it makes sense. A driver could drive 5 times, win 5 times and get a championship. Now its a product of what you do thru out the entire race season, not just a select few races. I pray Jr’s car/crew get up to speeeeeeed next season. Can’t wait til next season! Withdrawals will start about 8pm tonight. Today though…Jimmie, drive it like ya stole it and bring home that #4 championship. The ENTIRE team has earned it. Don’t worry, the haters today will be hating someones else tomorrow.
    God Speed to all drivers today.

  241. Evie M. on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 4:10 pm
  242. Not just no, but HELL NO. . . The #48 will NEVER be as good as the Intimidator !!! What is wrong with Junior ??????????????????????

  243. jimdy on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 4:13 pm
  244. AMEN

  245. Alison D. on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 4:55 pm
  246. No FREAKIN way. Junior what they hell is wrong with you. Nobody will ever be as good as your daddy. Jimmie just has luck and a lot of cheating. he doesn’t always get caught but, everybody knows that he does it.

  247. Jared H on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 5:14 pm
  248. NO, jj will never be as good as Dale Earnhardt, i think that NASCAR is letting him cheat, no one is that good, not Earnhardt, not Petty, they are letting him cheat, jj is the biggest joke in the history of this sport!

  249. george n a.k.a. bearracedriver on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 7:22 pm
  250. i belieave jimmie is good but he will never be as good as Dale SR. the King and So dale jr. i have faith in you just look back and follow your fathers foot steps and the dream will come true . i will always be a Die hard fan of your father and yours to the end . my living room is like a hall of fame in die cast of your fathers #3 and your #8 and #88

    always a fan
    to the end
    george a.k.a. bearracedriver

  251. Earle on Sun, 22nd Nov 2009 10:11 pm
  252. I think JR is just saying that to make Rick happy. As the broadcasters said the 88 is the same place as the 5 car was. When HMS has increase the number of cars they have, the 5 car has become the experimentally car. Pearson and Petty raced back when the race car driver was racing to win, with cars that were stock cars. When Sr started it was still pretty much the same, and he to raced to win, not points. NASCAR has changed everything. The whole idea of racing. Now you need millions to have a great race team. It’s more for a race team to win not the driver, if the pit crew takes 2 seconds longer than the others, it’s like they now may not win. JJ and Jeff maybe good drivers, but they win with their teams, not just by racing. They may not cheat, but HMS is good at getting strong sponsorships, giving them almost unlimited money for technology, and employees. They race for points, not to win. Not my number one driver, but Kyle Busch is a lot like Petty, Pearson and SR, he races to win, I haven’t heard of him taking it easy to keep his points stable, all you hear is he wants to win!

  253. Donna on Mon, 23rd Nov 2009 1:06 am
  254. Your stupidity is so overwhelmingly obvious! If you think Jr. Ever got a ride on any coat tails you need to go back and read the history. I feel sorry for you and hope some day you get over your bitterness and get some education. Dale Sr. Never GAVE Jr. An easy ride. Jr. Is a classy guy! Hope someday you can be 1/16 the class act he is! Congratulations to Jimmy and mostly CHAD! He’s the man!

  255. Donna on Mon, 23rd Nov 2009 1:19 am
  256. I agree! Jr. Raced to get close to his dad, when he got there his dad was taken from him. Jr. Did lose a lot that day. But, unlike most people, I see and love Jr. For the classy, talented guy he is and not the son of a legend! Go Jr.! Win or not, I will always be a fan!

  257. Dale Sr. fan for life on Mon, 23rd Nov 2009 10:17 am
  258. HELL NO!!!!!!!!!! Jimmy Johnson will never be as good as Dale Sr. or any other driver for that matter. Dale Jr. needs his head examined. He will never be as good as his dad either.

  259. Dale Sr. fan for life on Mon, 23rd Nov 2009 10:25 am
  260. JIMMY JOHNSON WOULDN’T BE ANYTHING IF IT WEREN’T FOR JEFF GORDON GIVING HIM GOOD RACE CARS AND CHAD KNAUS FOR BEING A GOOD CREW CHIEF. DALE SR. WAS THE BEST THERE IS, THE BEST THERE WAS, AND THE BEST THERE EVER WILL BE. NOBODY WILL BE ABLE TO FILL SR.’S SHOES.

  261. JimmieJohnsonFan on Mon, 23rd Nov 2009 11:23 am
  262. You’re right he’s not as good. #48 is better!

  263. nascar88 on Mon, 23rd Nov 2009 11:43 am
  264. thats right

  265. Maureen on Mon, 23rd Nov 2009 12:09 pm
  266. Jimmie Johnson is so much better than Earnhardt, Senior that there is no contest here. Jimmie Johnson is far more intelligent and has the best Crew Chief ever. Jimmie Johnson is by far the best of the best. To top it off, I am a die-hard Dale Earnhardt, Jr. fan. Junior himself even admitted the greatness of Jimmie Johnson. You out there who think Earnhardt, Sr. could compete with Jimmie Johnson know NOTHING WHATSOEVER ABOUT NASCAR. Amen.

  267. Maureen on Mon, 23rd Nov 2009 12:12 pm
  268. Just goes to show the intelligence of Jimmie Johnson by listing to his top-notch Crew Chief Chad Knaus. Kyle Busch is more like Earnhardt, Sr. only better. Kyle Busch is the future of NASCAR.

  269. barbara on Mon, 23rd Nov 2009 12:21 pm
  270. GOOD FOR YOU JR! Jimmie Johnson is a good driver. FOR THOSE OF YOU, WHO DO NOT LIKE HIM, NEED TO REALIZE THAT THEY, NASCAR, WON’T LET THEM DRIVE THE WAY SR DROVE, OR ANY OF THE OTHER OLDER DRVIERS, I’M SURE THAT BOBBIE ALLISON, AND HARRY GANT WHEREVER THEY ARE WOULD DEFINETLY AGREE. ALSO, JUST ASK A CURRENT DRIVER BY THE NAME OF JEFF GORDON, HE WILL DEFINITELY AGREE TO THAT. I’M SORRY THIS IS THE LAST YEAR FOR HIM, BUT LIKE HIM, THOSE DRIVERS WHO HAVE INJURIES THAT WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT NEED PRAISE, ALSO. JEFF WAS A GOOD DRIVER AND HE WILL GO DOWN THE HISTORY ROAD,TOO WITH THE BEST.
    JR HAS HAD SOME BAD WRECKS AND ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS TO BE SECOND TO HIM, SUBCONSIOUSLY I BELIEVE IT DOES BOTHER HIM, BUT HE HAS THE CHARISMA TO DO ALOT OF OTHER THINGS AND I BELIEVE THAT HE COMES FROM A CLOSE KNIT RACING FAMILY, NOT INCLUDING THE STEPMOM, SHE IS A NOTHING. SHE WANTS TO SELL ANY AND EVERYTHING THAT WAS SR’S, SHE NEEDS TO GIVE THE 8 TO THE MUSEUM. GO JR——-Grammy 67 oh this also goes out to the Childress racing team where his dad raced……

  271. Linda Calvert on Mon, 23rd Nov 2009 12:36 pm
  272. Yes, I agree, Jimmie should be right up there with Dale, Sr. and the rest of those top drivers. Jimmie is an excellant race car driver.

  273. angie on Mon, 23rd Nov 2009 1:21 pm
  274. I have never responded to comments on this post but……I could not let this go unsaid. I have been watching and going to nascar races for 30 years and JJ is a pansy ass compared to Dale Earnhardt. BIGGEST DIFFERENCE Dale would NEVER just ride anywhere in any race at any track. Enough said!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  275. Betty Stoneman on Mon, 23rd Nov 2009 3:20 pm
  276. Jimmie will never be the driver those three were. Jimmie is as good as his crew chief makes him. If he had to start out with another crew chief, he would be completely lost. NASCAR needs to do away with the chase and let all of the drivers compete for the title year-round. The chase is a joke. I have been watching and listening to races since before Petty won his first championship and I am very sick of those politically correct drivers, crew chiefs and commentators!

  277. Thelma on Mon, 23rd Nov 2009 10:01 pm
  278. AMEN. SR WAS THE BEST AND ALWAYS WILL BE. IF HENDRICK WOULD GIVE JR. THE CREW THAT JOPHNSON HAS HE COULD WIN RACES TOO. THE CHASE WAS THE WORST MISTAKE NASCAR EVER MADE. THE NEXT ONE WAS THE C O T

  279. REGAN on Tue, 24th Nov 2009 9:27 am
  280. JJ AS GOOD AS SR? THANKS I NEEDED THAT LAUGH!!!!

  281. Sue on Tue, 24th Nov 2009 5:18 pm
  282. I agree with the one that said different era so I really don’t think JJ would be able to stand up to the best, meaning Dale Sr. If JJ was racing when the greats were racing he wouldn’t be mentioned.

  283. Carole on Tue, 24th Nov 2009 6:15 pm
  284. I’t a fact, Chad has been suspended for cheating, and the the car has failed a post race inspection. It’s happened a number of times. Do some research.

  285. Carole on Tue, 24th Nov 2009 6:17 pm
  286. It’s a proven fact. No one wants to acknowledge that.

  287. Deborah on Tue, 24th Nov 2009 9:12 pm
  288. They act like it can not be done again. Maybe not but only time will tell

  289. emily on Thu, 26th Nov 2009 6:12 pm
  290. yes if there was no race there would not be a jimmie johnson… Jimmie johnson is a very well put driver because he is one of the best drivers out there on the track now. God Bless every driver out there!!!

  291. emily on Thu, 26th Nov 2009 6:13 pm
  292. I really do agree with Dale Jr there!!!!

  293. Patrick on Tue, 1st Dec 2009 2:50 pm
  294. Not even close. SImply look at the former IROC series, where the cars were identically prepared. Look at who won the most IROC champions. That will tell you who the best DRIVERS, (not race teams), are. The 48 team are the best CHEATERS, plain and simple. They’re talented at breaking the rules to have the fastest car, that’s all. If it weren’t for their illegal race cars, Jimmy Johnson would be just another no-name “also-ran” week in and week out, just like he was in the IROC series, if he had a ride at all.

  295. Whitey on Tue, 1st Dec 2009 5:15 pm
  296. thats right friend…. Dale kicked their butts when everything was equal including Tonys and Jeffs when they were both in the prime of life. In Busch Series Dale won 5 in a row Goodies 300 at Daytona…what a champion….34 wins at Daytona. simply the BEST

  297. Angel for Jr on Wed, 2nd Dec 2009 3:02 pm
  298. NO WAY IN HELL should Jimmy even be considered to be even half as good as Dale Sr. Dale Sr. never had to cheat to win his championships and who cares if they were not “consecutive” wins. Just goes to show how crooked NASCAR is today compared to years past. Why even bother to watch any of NASCAR races in 2010 if all they are going to do is put their “Golden Boy” in first place from the start of the chase til the end???? I agree with some of the comments above, if there were no Chase as way in the past, there would be no Jimmy. He would have NEVER won even 1 championship if the point system was never changed.

  299. Betty Stoneman on Mon, 7th Dec 2009 5:11 pm
  300. He’ll never match either of them in personality either. He has the personality of a cup of vanila pudding.

  301. Reno3 on Tue, 8th Dec 2009 10:31 am
  302. HA HA There is no way that little Jimmy is even close to Dale Earnhardt. Dale was the last of the men to drive!!! Now it seems it is a bunch of spoiled kid’s!! Crying when they win or lose. I never thought it would come to this. DALE STANDS ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    GO DALE JR.

  303. Jared H on Fri, 18th Dec 2009 7:49 pm
  304. yes i agree, but jr is just a good of driver as JJ , but jr. does not have the car or crew (mr.hendrick) to win with.

  305. PZF on Thu, 14th Jan 2010 5:17 pm
  306. He already has matched up. I don’t see you with your bubbly personality have 4 champhship. He has already proven himself. Their will always be different era’s and each year with each era there will be champions.

Tell me what you're thinking...
