Dale Jarrett is retiring this year and he was my favorite. Who do you think is a good replacement?

May be...

  • The answer u want is this lol Denny Hamlin is young and a good driver so is Martin Truex jr. Those are the 2 drivers i chose when The Intimidator died i like junior but not a bandwaggoner and when he decides racing is more important than commercials he'll do great right now he is doing good but he has too many distractions....I am not a Busch fan neither Kurt nor Kyle do it for me but I do have them in my fantasy racing leagues lol look for Kyle to maintain his edge n Kurt hoping to keep up with his bro lol
  • Brother, you have to make that decision on your own, and there is NO right or wrong answer here. There are SO MANY good drivers out there - from Stewart, Johnson, Gordon, or Jr. to Busch, the other Busch, Truex Jr., Kahne, Biffle, Harvick, Burton.... and the list goes on and on and on and... Take some time, sit back, and find the driver that fits YOU. Why listen to a bunch of biased & opinionated (yes, that's ALL of us, me too) individuals? BE FREE & INDEPENDENT. I guarantee you'll be more happy with the choice, because it was your own!
  • He battled Jeff Gordon for several titles back in the 1990s, why not choose him? He's not as "new" as all the young guys and is one of the few veterans left from that era, before the youth invasion.

    Of course, Gordon did pioneer that very same movement.

    Jarrett was very good at Daytona (3 500 wins) and so is Gordon (3 500 wins).
  • Elliott Sadler and him were like best friends from what I seen and he always talks about him during race broadcasts.
  • Picking a new driver isn't like picking out a pair of pants to wear that day. You have to find the one that fits closest to your own personality, believes, and morals. Now this may be a little difficult to do since you don't actually get to sit down and have a one-on-one conversation with them or anything like that, but you can watch their mannerisms, how they carry themselves at the track, and how they treat the fans and the press.
    Now, on the assumption that you are looking for an older, more experienced driver to be your second favorite, Bobby Labonte, Jeff Burton, Kenny Schrader, or Kenny Wallace would be great choices. If you are wanting a middle aged driver who should be around for a while yet you can choose from the obvious - Tony Stewart, Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick, or Dale Jr. Now for the youngest / up and coming drivers you have your choice of Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne, Clint Bowyer (although he could also be in the second group), or Martin Truex Jr.
    But take a look at this list of remaining drivers and think about who is on it: Casey Mears, David Ragan, Greg Biffle, Sam Hornish Jr., Brian Vickers, Matt Kenseth, Elliott Sadler, J.J. Yeley, Jamie McMurray, and a few others I left out.

    They all have something unique about them or something that you can watch a couple of races and say, "When I think of "so and so" I think of "this driver."

    I personally am a huge Tony Stewart fan and have often wondered who I would choose to follow if and when Tony retires. I have narrowed it down to Carl Edwards (but this is kind of not fair, we used to race modifieds against him at the dirt track back in Moberly, MO.) or Elliott Sadler (he actually has some of the same atributes as Tony but he just isn't as vocal about things yet, plus he is still looking for that "perfect" car to get him to the front for once. Now, I have also met and partied with Kenny Schrader and Kenny Wallace and let me tell you, these 2 guys are absolutely great guys and VERY funny.

    It's not going to be an easy choice but only you can make that "right" choice for you. Don't let anyone steer you in the wrong direction (pun intended, LOL)
  • David Reutimann is going to drive the #44 UPS Toyota.
  • I wish you luck. Terry Labonte was (and is still) my favorite. I haven't been able to pick anyone to take his place.
    It's not all bad, though. I've found that it's fun to cheer on different drivers, depending on the circumstances. Especially the underdogs, and the drivers that I think might have gotten an unfair penalty.
  • i got the doll for free somewhere in mint condition and i am never getting rid of it. i am keeping it. never opened. i mean how much would the doll have been when it was out? how much did it go for in 2003?
  • I'd probably say Jeff Burton..
  • I would say MWR should give the Ride to someone who has Paid their dues like-Boris Said- Mike Bliss or Mike Skinner or Tony Raines!!!!!!!!
  • Kyle Busch.
  • Bobby Labonte, possibly. Or Jeff Burton as mentioned above. Those two are probably the closest to DJ personality wise. They are also great drivers and well respected just like DJ.

    If you want a new guy keeping with the same type of person, go with Bowyer. Level headed and easy going. Yet, a heck of a driver!! (He will get a Cup within 5 years)
  • Go with Juan Pablo or Kyle Bush just to pi$@ people off. lol


    Thats how I became a Petty fan in the 80's, a Spencer fan in the 90's and a Stewart fan in 1999.

    Chili anyone? "ding ding"
  • I would say Jeff Burton also. He is a very clean, classy driver. He treats everyone with respect. He doesn't lose his cool behind the wheel. he is a very solid driver.
