Does Dale Jr. finally have a good chance of winning a championsip?

May be...

If he can't win a championship with his current team, it's doubtful he ever will. Now he has to beat two of his teammates in the same equipment to accomplish this.

I would bet he is a contender now that he is happy, and don't have the weight of the world on him. And he now has some of the fastest and best equipment there is

I think he has an excellent chance

if you can win in wrecked cars

never has anyones career been in the hands of his teammates as jr's is now. If they can keep it together, I dont see why rick cant pick who he wants the championship to go to. I see 48 three in a row , 88 1st title, and then 24 to 7 titles. Unless it all blows up and 24/48 side move to new team w/everham/knauss

I'm not going to make any predictions based on last nights race, but I say he has a good shot at it, he should make the chase and win some races, and if he wins the championship, hey that's totally awesome. He has the equipment and determination to do it.



Go Dale Jr & Hms in 2008

I believe he has a better chance now than the past 3 years. Hendrick is responsible for the motors and all he has to do is drive the car and stay out of trouble. He'll definately make the top 10 this year without a doubt..

After the whirlwind drama surrounding Jr. for the past year, he is finally racing.



After last nights dominating performance in the Budweiser Shootout, I would now like to know how many people think he has a seriously good chance of winning a championship.



I'm not asking if you like him, or what your opinion of him is, just whether or not you think he will seriously contend for the championship this year.

Yes he has a very good chance of winning it. But you could probally put Mickey Mouse in a Hendrick car and he would win it.

Godsmack you said it go Jr shut the haters up.

I know I can't bet the house just because he won the Bud Shootout, but I know he'll race his heart out just like he did for DEI only this time he has the equipment to get the job done. He looked so happy last night, like the weight of the world is lifted off his shoulders.



Jr wins when he can just get on that track and race and I believe not having to worry about his car dying on him was a great relief. He's got the best shot in the world at that championship, whether it's this year or not he will get his Championship win with HMS!!!

He'll have the best chance since 2004 to win. Hell be in the chase, KyBusch wont, Newman wont, and Hamlin wont.

Absolutely

its the best shot he will ever get, and he knows it!

I think with the resources he has right now-he has an excellent chance of contending this year. If he races the way he always does-he has nothing to worry about cuz now he has the car to do it with.

Nope. He won a race that doesn't count. OMG, lets all get excited over that! He may make the chase, but he won't be a factor for winning it all.

he has always had the ability to win a championship and the will power and hunger i believe he now has the equipment and the support staff and yes i believe he will contend for the championship

i was a doubter about taking tony jr to hendricks with him i guess thats why rick hendricks is a championship owner he knows more than me

but i have always been and continue to be a die hard #24 fan good luck to jr.

Stewart fan here, but I'll say he's definitely got an excellent chance of being in the Top Ten. He *looks* and *sounds* like a winner. He doesn't have to worry about Teresa's antics or what he's going to do with his future. He's got all that Hendrick money and garage talent behind him. All he's got to think about now is racing!

Yes he has the car to get win's and get top 10's. I think he will get one within 3 years.

I think he does ! he has finialy got away from step mom ! the (b) and now with hendrix . he will do alot more this year !!!

A good chance? Please, he's got a great chance. I'd give him 90% of the chance to win after that run at the Shootout. Then again the Shootout is only 70 laps, and he does always say he's good on short runs but not great on long runs...come to think of it, he didn't hold that lead all THAT great...whatever, Jr. RULES!

That is the belief yes. But I wouldn't base just the Bud Shootout performance as it. Remember that was a short race and RP races are his specialty. Lets see where he is by Infinion, where I believe we should have seen the various types of race track that NASCAR uses then we can better judge

No, he still has the same driving ability, which is not as much as ALL other HMS drivers.

unfortunately Jimmie and Jeff come first, and they better watch out from them Toyotas!
