Is Mark Martin better than Dale Jr.?

May be...

Do bears crap in the woods? Why heck yeah Martin is ten times the driver Junior could ever hope to be. Junior isn't even worthy to carry Mark's jock strap LOL!

Yes, and you know he is ICE, I mean Lisa (sorry, I didn't mean to blow your cover)

If you base your question on this year, yes. Last year maybe, espicially second half of last year. Listen up all you Jr. bashers out there. No Jr. fan has ever said he is or will be as good as his dad. No Jr. fan has ever said he is the best driver today. We would like him to be and one day hopefully he will. There is no doubt HE IS the most popular driver today, unfortunetly that does not equal winning races. The problem with Jr this year and the last half of last year was not Jr's driving it has been and is the car. They are not getting the setup right and cannot seem to fix during the race. Ultimately that responsibility has to fall on the crew chief. All I know is before Eury Jr. Dale Jr. was winning races and was consistent week end week out. There is no disputing that.

To say he cannot drive is stupid. I mean if you watched the race today and previous weeks his car is all over the track. Loose as hell. It was all he could today and previous weeks just to keep the car out of the wall. The man can drive and if Eury Jr. ever gets a clue or they find a CC who has a clue then all you Jr. bashers will be eating your words.

yes

YES

I think the results speak for themselves. This year Martin has outperformed Jr by far. They have really hit their stride as of late and Jr is still struggling badly. Look for Martin to contend for the title while Jr contends to stay in the top twenty in points.

At this point in Jr.'s career Mark Martin by a long shot. I personally think Jr. is well on his way to becoming a Great driver, but I personally think for a couple years after Sr. passed Jr. slipped a bit and now after the feuds with Theresa behind him, he's going forward again. I'm sure if you asked him, Jr. would also say Martin,experience is like respect, You have to earn it and Mark Martin has plenty of that.

They are both really strong drivers and a lot of the time it depends on the track and the car.
As of right now, Mark Martin is 11th with 1316 points, 2 wins, 3 top five finishes, and 6 top ten finishes, while Dale Jr. is 18th with 1182 points, no wins, 1 top five finish and 4 top ten finishes.
So you decide.

....Today about 2/3 of the field was better!

Wow. Jr.s not the best ever? Youve got to be joking. Hes the winningest driver ever in the dreams of his fans. LOL!!!!! Jr. is a joke. Martin is a far better driver than Jr. will ever be. Sr. rolls in his grave everytime that chump pulls on his gloves and clicks on his belt(Jr. that is)

Heck yea, Jr cant even put his car in the pit box. Sorry hands down Mark is way better, Jr or his crew chief need to step it up.

That is a big YES.
A LOT of drivers are better than Junior. His performance today in the Coca-Cola 600 was laughable, embarrassing, and pathetic; just like his career!

Sure, I would say he is. I like both of them though. Mark Martin is better than a lot of the drivers out there. If not for some issues that were out of his control early in the season, he would be much higher in the standings.

yess!! Report Abuse

Yes, about a million times better, in fact there's probably about 15-20 drivers every week that are better than Jr.
If it wasn't for the rain today he probably would of ended 5 or 6 laps down. It's time to step out of the 88 and give it to someone who can drive fast, anyone know how to get a hold of Ricky Bobby.

Inquiring minds want to know.

He must be. Even though he retired from full time cup racing in 2005, he still finishes better than Earnhardt.

Oh yes. Mark Martin is far more experienced and a far better driver. His ride is a heck of a lot better, too.

yes, but jrs fans will tell you that because jr has two bush series championships and mark martin don't have any at all in any series that jr is better80 audi s2
