12.5.09

Which driver so far is looking like they could win a championship in '09?

May be...

  • Mark Martin is going to win the chase.
  • With the exception of Dale Jr, it is hard to bet against the HMS drivers. No offense to Kyle Busch fans, but he has that win or finish in the 30s attitude. You need to be more consistent to win championships. Until Jimmie Johnson loses one, he will be my pick.
  • or is it too early to tell
  • It might be a tad early but Im very hopeful that Kurt can hang on up there at the front and win that bad boy this year.
  • Too early to tell but T. Stewart is real consistent with his top 5 finishes.
  • Jeff Gordon is the only one I see who is consistently in the top 5 or top 10 near the end of races.
    I also think he has learned some things and will be ready to step up for the chase.
  • Brian Vickers
  • Fluffy, it might still be a tad too early, but all of the guys in the top 15 have a clear shot. My favorite, Mark Martin, took only 4 races to drop to 34th, but has climbed up from there to 11th in just 6 races, with 2 wins, 3 top 5's, 6 top 10's and 3 poles on his scorecard for the season. Not too shabby, when you figure in the dismal start he had. He seems to have the momentum, drive, equipment and experience to pull it off his year. I just hope all of his bad luck & equipment failures are behind him. Mark's stats linked below.

    EDIT: yes, I know he got collected in the lap 6 wreck at 'Dega, but again, it wasn't his fault, he was COLLECTED in the first "Big One".

    EDIT (2): I agree about the "reset", but as long as he doesn't have the sour finishes that Shrub had last year after the reset, he'll be fine. Shrub had bad luck after the chase started, compounded by a few poor strategy calls, which led to an insurmountable defecit, 80 advantage points go away fast when you have a run of bad luck early in the chase. Kyle's stats for last year are the second link.
  • tony stewart will get it. He's the man!
  • A tad early, but to me (and this will make my mom happy) it looks like another Tony Stewart year if you ask me.
  • It might be a little early yet, but the way this season has been going, I'd have to say Smoke. He's got that desire. Any of the top 15 do, but Smoke is doing awesome for a "new team". Then again, you wouldn't expect anything less of him. :)
  • I think it is to early to tell. Too many factors have yet to play out. JJ hasn't had a run yet and we all know he will and Mark, Tony ,Jeff and Kyle are all strong not to be contenders. It will make for an interesting summer!

  • With the points system like this there is no telling. The first year they changed the points system Jeff Gordon had a demanding lead and probably would have won the championship but he was no where near winning after the points reset for the last 10 races. Last year Kyle Busch was winning many races and was consistently up front but as soon as the chase started he faded out. So I say there is never any telling until a few races after the points reset but that is just my opinion.
  • It's either gonna be Jeff Gordon or Kurt Busch.
  • Tony, Newman , martin, gordon and Johnson
    Hay they are all driving a Hendrick car?
  • Johnson and, Johnson. It would be cool though if teammate Martin would take it (WOW-50! Martin's the man!)air mile credit card canada

    IF, and that's a big IF, Elliott doesn't land a ride?

    May be...

  • I think Reutiman is a great driver that has a lot of potential. But you just have to go with who you like dude. I think Elliott will end up with a ride. He will probably be a lot better if he gets away from where he is.



    H E N D R I C K~M O T O R S P O R T S~R U L E S ! ! ! ! !
  • Kurt Busch is the better choice, he is a better driver with better equipment.

    But Martin Truex Jr. would be better :)
  • I refuse to think negatively. Elliott WILL prevail <LOL.>

    My 2nd favorite is Mark Martin, but somehow I don't think he'd appeal to you, and he's going to be gone after next year, so you'd be back to square one. How about Marcos Ambrose? He's got a great personality, like Elliott, and he's definitely an underdog.
  • I think Reutimann is a good choice.................

    I won't even try to persuade you to get on my "Titanic"....LOL
  • Pull for someone you feel fits your Style.
    As did i Scott Speed and Brian Vickers Great Great Drivers and thats why I pull for them.
    Plus I fit the Red Bull Image and I love Red Bull.

    "The Franchise" isn't a Bad choice I have My eyes kept on him and "Kangaroo Meat" Ambrose as well.
  • Knowing your a Chevy man maybe you should think about one of their driver's. I not brazen enough to say which one, just a thought. No doubt it would be awesome for you to join Team Penske, Dave and I wait with open arm's. Keep the faith concerning Elliott though. If he decide's he's through driving I'd like to see him replace DW. That would be a hoot.
  • Look no further than his teammate, Kasey Kahne. I get the idea that you prefer Dodge drivers, so he's got that going for him. He has been having a lot of bad luck lately, but the man can drive anything with wheels. He's only ever entered 2 truck races- and he won both. 2 dirt track titles. 8 sprint cup victories. I know more women than men like him, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Also, he is not some redneck, backward type person. And you never hear anything bad about him.
  • Lately I've found myself pulling for Truex. He's kind of an underdog, a stand up guy, and a good, clean race car driver.
  • I think David Ragan would be a good substitute if Elliott doesn't land a ride. Reuti' and Kurt are also good choices.
  • I'd become a brad keselowski or Mark Martin fan if I weren't a jimmie johnson fan but do consider becoming a jimmie johnson fan think of the benefits of being the 3 time champ's fan you won't get booed when you're wearing any of the apparel or they won't tell you you are a fan of a loser. I hope I won a fan for jimmie johnson.

    Go Jimmie Johnson and the whole #48 team!!!!!!!
  • Come to the other "darkside", the older Busch brother Kurt. Biner and I could use another blue deuce soldier on our side. Though David Ruitimann would be a great choice too. Good for you staying loyal to Elliott through thick and thin. The guy hasn't just forgot how to drive.


    <<<<<<< BTW: TY
  • Yes, be a fellow Reutimann fan. The kid is pretty awesome, and he's running well. Just bad circumstances. Is Elliot on a contract year? That means that A.J. will get Elliot's ride. Cool. Elliott Sadler is one of those guys, along with Casey Mears, Jamie Mcmurray, and Juan Pablo Montoya who really aren't very good drivers, but their equipment gets them good finishes. I understand your RPM woes, though. They suck.
  • It will just come. I like to pick guys that haven't done much yet but know they eventually will. You can like a few guys until you decide. What's the difference how many drivers you have an appeal for. I can care less.
  • Mark Martin is my answer. He is the most deserving and has done such a bang up job this year. It's his turn to take home a championship. Mark is a classic driver as well as a gentleman. And, on that note:

    STEWART HAAS RACING ROCKS!!!!!
  • Aren't you real big on AJ Allmendinger? lol jk...

    Reutimann sounds good, personally I lean more towards the younger drivers that will b e around a while and are making their way up through the ranks.
  • I'm gonna need a replacement :(

    I am leaning towards David Reutimann, can anyone persuade me to follow their favorite? I'm really looking for a driver that hasn't won yet or hasn't won in awhile, Kurt Busch is on my radar too though. Don't get me wrong, I'm sticking with Sadler until the end though. :(
  • Ya I think David Reutimann would be a good replacement. He's been pretty consistent but just a bit unlucky
  • Well Im not a very good persuader, but Jamie could use a few more fans. He hasn't won since 2007 but he generally finished well unless his really bad luck. Bit David Reutimann isn't bad, I like him, I call him Rudy! :)
  • Noooooooooooooooo, not Reutimann! He's just a Waltrip puppet. Nice enough guy, but he doesn't have the fire.
    Truex is an excellent choice, when/if he leaves his current ride.
    Keep your head up. Sadler ain't done racing yet. : )
  • Well i am leaning towards Jeff Burton is anything happens to Sadler. I just have not taken a liking to a young gun as of late. Since Joey Lagano is from CT my loyalty may lay there ni the future if and only if Sadler falls off the radar.
  • what about robby gordon?
    the guy is a true racer.he races on asphalt and accross rocks,sand,and dirt throughout the calendar year.pretty successful on the dirt i might add.
    yea the guy has not had his share of luck on the asphalt roundy rounds of nascar,but if were given the right opportunity with the right owner i think that he can be a force on the circuit.
    yea i know he tried once with DEI and it did not turn out to well,but i say give him one more chance with a topnotch team.
    he has a never say die attitude and he does not put up with any BS from other drivers.i just wish he were a little more succesful in the sprint cup series.
  • yes u are a smart man dosent look good for sadler if they can get rid of him without lawyers involved he's out i believe how about tony stewart he hasnt won in his new ride yet then you can go for a picticular manurfacturer like chevy, ford,toyota,dodge thats one way to pick a driver i like chevy drivers cuz i drive a chevy thats why i root for dale jr but i do like car edwards he seems like a nice guy and i like the save-a-lot car i like the store stuff is dirt cheap there then i like mike skinner in trucks even though he drives a toyota reutimann is good he may be a break out driver or he may get with a lil better team and lastly how about lagano he's a rookie hasnt won but he seems to be getting the hang of the cot but goood luck finding a new driver and hopefuly sadler lands in nationwide or trucks so u can still root for him i used to root for him too but after the second year at yates he could not produce i got away from him
  • You think it's a big if that Elliot doesn't land a ride. I'd say it's the other way around. I think his days in Nascar are coming to a close. Reutimann is maybe a good pick. The guy is surely making Mikey look silly but that isn't hard to do.
  • You can bleed Petty blue like me. But I guess you are not the best of friends with RPM right now huh? I am not too happy with Reed....but hey as long as a car bears #43 I'll be pulling for it.
  • Tony Stewart, I know how much you love him :P
    (resistance was futile)

    If you're leaning towards Reutimann, chances are if and when it comes time to need a new fav. that's who you should go with.

  • The Greatest Motorsports Racer of All Time!?

    May be...

  • My Top 5:
    1- Schumacher
    2- Fangio
    3- Senna
    4- Prost (Completely under-rated)
    5- Piquet
  • In historical order:

    1) Tazio Nuvolari: Out of his mind! No fear, no glory. They don't make drivers like that any more! Do some research on Google, and enjoy.

    2) Juan Manuel Fangio: A dominator with superb skills.

    3) Jim Clark: What not to like?

    4) Mario Andretti: He showed that he could win any series, anywhere, anytime.

    5) Gilles Villeneuve: Total absolute relentless and reckless pursuit of speed. Not too much accomplished in his career, but a true racer.

    6) Alain Prost: Different cars, regulations and harsh competition: He always delivered.

    7) Ayrton Senna: King of the wet. King of qualifying. King of Monaco. And a great although introverted personality. Died too soon, preventing us to witness more accomplishments.

    8) Michael Schumacher: A man machine. He won what was thought impossible. Personality-wise at time controversial and not always likable. But a winning robot in the right place at the right time.

    It's hard to pick one from the above elite bunch. If I look at statistics, Schumacher must be the #1. But if I listen to my heart, the greatest motorsport racer would have to be Nuvolari or Gilles Villeneuve (tied).

    EDIT: Ah, I forgot John Surtees! Thanks Mike F for bringing it up. He would certainly fill my top ten list, but still won't change my final consideration.
  • Hmmm, spot the odd one out! Schumacher, Clark, Senna, Fangio, Prost, Piquet, Caracciola, Nuvolari, Villeneuve and JOHN FORCE!

    Answer to your question, one of the above that's not called John Force!

    Edit fmagellan74, with all due respect to you and Mr Force, do you really think someone who sits in a rocket on a quarter mile long straight track really deserves to be mentioned in this company? And which Schumacher do you think people are referring to, Tony another rocket jockey, Ralf someones little brother or Michael a 7 times F1 world champion? As you said it is the F1 section!
  • John Force

    *14 Time Funny Car Champ (Inc. 10 straight)
    *126 National Event wins (Best of all time)
    *1016 Round wins
    *Started a record 395 consecutive events before failing to qualify
    *Selected as DRIVER of the YEAR 1996(first ever drag racer)
    *Has appeared in an NHRA record 202 final rounds
    *Has been named to the Auto Racing All-America Team selected by members of the American Auto Racing Writers and Broadcasters Association 14 times and set a record with 10 consecutive appearances

    The question says "Motorsports" not F1. Granted the category says F1, the question is obviously general in nature.

    BTW. When "someone" says Schumacher, "he" needs to be more specific on which Schumacher he is talking about. Tony Schumacher? Right Allen?
  • John Surtees, won championships in both 350cc and 500cc motorbikes, then won the 1964 F1 championship. Also came 3rd at Le Mans in 1964.
  • i would have to say its Michael Shumacher, Senna, Michael Andretti or maybe Allen McNish
  • Rudolf Caraciola, Tazio Nuvolari or Gilles Villeneuve.
  • 1.Jim Clark
    2.Aryton Senna
    3.Juan Manual Fangio

    In my opinion anyway
  • The one and only... the fastest man on earth: AYRTON SENNA DA SILVA.
  • Mario Andretti or maybe Sterling Moss
  • hands down it is richard petty with his 200 win's in nascar
  • Who do you think is the greatest?
  • Michael Schumacherxxx folder
  • IF, and that's a big IF, Elliott doesn't land a ride?

    May be...

  • what about robby gordon?
    the guy is a true racer.he races on asphalt and accross rocks,sand,and dirt throughout the calendar year.pretty successful on the dirt i might add.

    My 2nd favorite is Mark Martin, but somehow I don't think he'd appeal to you, and he's going to be gone after next year, so you'd be back to square one. How about Marcos Ambrose? He's got a great personality, like Elliott, and he's definitely an underdog.
  • It will just come. I like to pick guys that haven't done much yet but know they eventually will. You can like a few guys until you decide. What's the difference how many drivers you have an appeal for. I can care less.
  • Well Im not a very good persuader, but Jamie could use a few more fans. He hasn't won since 2007 but he generally finished well unless his really bad luck. Bit David Reutimann isn't bad, I like him, I call him Rudy! :)
  • I'm gonna need a replacement :(

    I am leaning towards David Reutimann, can anyone persuade me to follow their favorite? I'm really looking for a driver that hasn't won yet or hasn't won in awhile, Kurt Busch is on my radar too though. Don't get me wrong, I'm sticking with Sadler until the end though. :(
  • You think it's a big if that Elliot doesn't land a ride. I'd say it's the other way around. I think his days in Nascar are coming to a close. Reutimann is maybe a good pick. The guy is surely making Mikey look silly but that isn't hard to do.
  • Kurt Busch is the better choice, he is a better driver with better equipment.

    But Martin Truex Jr. would be better :)
  • Tony Stewart, I know how much you love him :P
    (resistance was futile)

    If you're leaning towards Reutimann, chances are if and when it comes time to need a new fav. that's who you should go with.

    Listen to your gut instint, it knows.
  • Aren't you real big on AJ Allmendinger? lol jk...

    Reutimann sounds good, personally I lean more towards the younger drivers that will b e around a while and are making their way up through the ranks.
  • I'd become a brad keselowski or Mark Martin fan if I weren't a jimmie johnson fan but do consider becoming a jimmie johnson fan think of the benefits of being the 3 time champ's fan you won't get booed when you're wearing any of the apparel or they won't tell you you are a fan of a loser. I hope I won a fan for jimmie johnson.

    Go Jimmie Johnson and the whole #48 team!!!!!!!
  • I think Reutimann is a good choice.................

    I won't even try to persuade you to get on my "Titanic"....LOL
  • Well i am leaning towards Jeff Burton is anything happens to Sadler. I just have not taken a liking to a young gun as of late. Since Joey Lagano is from CT my loyalty may lay there ni the future if and only if Sadler falls off the radar.
  • yes u are a smart man dosent look good for sadler if they can get rid of him without lawyers involved he's out i believe how about tony stewart he hasnt won in his new ride yet then you can go for a picticular manurfacturer like chevy, ford,toyota,dodge thats one way to pick a driver i like chevy drivers cuz i drive a chevy thats why i root for dale jr but i do like car edwards he seems like a nice guy and i like the save-a-lot car i like the store stuff is dirt cheap there then i like mike skinner in trucks even though he drives a toyota reutimann is good he may be a break out driver or he may get with a lil better team and lastly how about lagano he's a rookie hasnt won but he seems to be getting the hang of the cot but goood luck finding a new driver and hopefuly sadler lands in nationwide or trucks so u can still root for him i used to root for him too but after the second year at yates he could not produce i got away from him
  • I think David Ragan would be a good substitute if Elliott doesn't land a ride. Reuti' and Kurt are also good choices.
  • Ya I think David Reutimann would be a good replacement. He's been pretty consistent but just a bit unlucky
  • Knowing your a Chevy man maybe you should think about one of their driver's. I not brazen enough to say which one, just a thought. No doubt it would be awesome for you to join Team Penske, Dave and I wait with open arm's. Keep the faith concerning Elliott though. If he decide's he's through driving I'd like to see him replace DW. That would be a hoot.
  • Look no further than his teammate, Kasey Kahne. I get the idea that you prefer Dodge drivers, so he's got that going for him. He has been having a lot of bad luck lately, but the man can drive anything with wheels. He's only ever entered 2 truck races- and he won both. 2 dirt track titles. 8 sprint cup victories. I know more women than men like him, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Also, he is not some redneck, backward type person. And you never hear anything bad about him.
  • Mark Martin is my answer. He is the most deserving and has done such a bang up job this year. It's his turn to take home a championship. Mark is a classic driver as well as a gentleman. And, on that note:

    STEWART HAAS RACING ROCKS!!!!!
  • Come to the other "darkside", the older Busch brother Kurt. Biner and I could use another blue deuce soldier on our side. Though David Ruitimann would be a great choice too. Good for you staying loyal to Elliott through thick and thin. The guy hasn't just forgot how to drive.


    <<<<<<< BTW: TY
  • I think Reutiman is a great driver that has a lot of potential. But you just have to go with who you like dude. I think Elliott will end up with a ride. He will probably be a lot better if he gets away from where he is.

  • Pull for someone you feel fits your Style.
    As did i Scott Speed and Brian Vickers Great Great Drivers and thats why I pull for them.
    Plus I fit the Red Bull Image and I love Red Bull.

    "The Franchise" isn't a Bad choice I have My eyes kept on him and "Kangaroo Meat" Ambrose as well.
  • You can bleed Petty blue like me. But I guess you are not the best of friends with RPM right now huh? I am not too happy with Reed....but hey as long as a car bears #43 I'll be pulling for it.
  • Noooooooooooooooo, not Reutimann! He's just a Waltrip puppet. Nice enough guy, but he doesn't have the fire.
    Truex is an excellent choice, when/if he leaves his current ride.
    Keep your head up. Sadler ain't done racing yet. : )
  • Lately I've found myself pulling for Truex. He's kind of an underdog, a stand up guy, and a good, clean race car driver.
  • Yes, be a fellow Reutimann fan. The kid is pretty awesome, and he's running well. Just bad circumstances. Is Elliot on a contract year? That means that A.J. will get Elliot's ride. Cool. Elliott Sadler is one of those guys, along with Casey Mears, Jamie Mcmurray, and Juan Pablo Montoya who really aren't very good drivers, but their equipment gets them good finishes. I understand your RPM woes, though. They suck.sams club guest pass 2005
  • IF, and that's a big IF, Elliott doesn't land a ride?

    May be...

  • what about robby gordon?
    the guy is a true racer.he races on asphalt and accross rocks,sand,and dirt throughout the calendar year.pretty successful on the dirt i might add.
    yea the guy has not had his share of luck on the asphalt roundy rounds of nascar,but if were given the right opportunity with the right owner i think that he can be a force on the circuit.
    yea i know he tried once with DEI and it did not turn out to well,but i say give him one more chance with a topnotch team.
    he has a never say die attitude and he does not put up with any BS from other drivers.i just wish he were a little more succesful in the sprint cup series.
