Is Dale Earnhart Jr a good race car driver?

May be...

He is a good driver, yes. I don't think he is a great driver.

He's at what now? 63 races without a win? Failed to make the Chase last year, and has no Championships. He doesn't impress me, I feel there are far better drivers in the Sprint series.

Yes, he is a good driver!!!

GO HARVICK & RCR!!!!

yes dale jr is a good driver and i beg to differ with that.


Go dale jr go!!!

Yes, if you watch a lot of races he is an instinctive driver. He has made moves against what his spotter has told him and come out good on the other side. He is not perfect,nor is anyone else. But he has definitely got a talent and a feel for the race car and the track that not everyone has. Another good driver is Kasey Kahne, his rookie year he showed some excellent driving skills and still does. Best thing about Dale Jr is his honesty and the way he tells it like it is. That's what sets the men apart from the boys in anything.

no no no no no

He is above average and his strengths are the Restrictor Plate Track on these he is one of the Best!!!!!!

Yeah. Not sure he'll be the caliber his Dad was. Hopefully, he has a lot of years ahead of him. I'm not a huge fan of his, but I'd like to see him overcome the turmoil he's faced these past years and begin concentrating on his driving.

Junior is an "upper middle" level driver.He is able to do better but the Wall Street/sponsor-advertisement influance takes too much away from him.

hes only average...not great. his Dad was great.

With the field thats out their now??....I'd say he was good....
But it has to stop there !!! You can't think about the #3 car,in the SHADOW'S !!!...The same with Kyle Petty...Thats not a ,
''70''Superbird.,with the #43 painted on it either...

Yes he is a good racecar driver, all of them are as matter of fact. He is a heck of driver now he has Hendrick power under the hood and the best race engineers in the business.

Good but not great.

no, he is just the son of a great nascar driver and the people cant watch sr. anymore so they go for jr. which sucks....

in my opinion(and i know im gonna get thumbed down)...hes the best restrictor plate racer in nascar!!!...however i think he struggles on short tracks..but to me hes still a good race car driver!

He is not the best, but I would say even with a bad start he is in the top 10

Yes, check out the spring Martinsville race in 2006, got a top-5 missing a fender and part of the nose. Even though he hasn't won in 68 races he still is 4th in wins since 2000(behind Gordon,Johnson,and Stewart and is tied with Kurt Busch). To the person who said he does great at plate tracks and not on short ones, Jr's got almost as many wins at Richmond than at Talladega.

He is a lot better than his recent record shows. He can drive a car that is torn up and with old tires to a top ten finish. He also has some of the best car control abilities in the field, and his instincts as a driver are better than average.

I'm a die hard Dale Jr fan, true he is not his dad. He is a good driver, he is not a great driver yet...Hopefully with HMS equipment this yr he can become that great driver, that he is fully capable of becoming...

Go Dale Jr & Hms

NO HE IS THE BEST

His dad was great at wrecking other drivers to steal a win. So far Junebug hasn't been doing that, but he has gotten good at blowing up engines!

He is not in the top elite of drivers. I place him in the middle of the pack of drivers. Someone who hasn't won a race in 63 races, won a championship & failed to make chase, to me me isn't a good race car driver. He just has the last name that is famous in NASCAR driving

Yes, but there's several better drivers. He might be better now that he's at Hendrick though.

how do you get a bunch of points if you are the one askingthe question??? it deducts 5 points for the question and then only gives back i think 3 if you choose a best answer... Report It

Just give him time and he will be a great driver now that he is at HMS !

He is a GOOD driver but no where near great.

No. He is not. He rides on the name of his father who was a good race car driver.

He has a lot of driving skills. He's proven he can win a race (17 in Cup) and even win a championship (2 in Nationwide).

The thing I've noticed though is that SOME of his strategic decisions are HORRIBLE.

YES

Yes like everyone else said good not great!

Jeff Gordon is prob the best and prob the most hated...haha

Of course he is!! He gives it his all every week and usually stays in the race all race long. He's a fighter and most definitely a good NASCAR driver!
