Bottom line is this is what he's been asking for.... If Dale jr is half the driver the Jr Nation thanks he is he should win Daytona if not the Championship next year. He will be the driver of the most watched car in the history of the sport and he's not even left DEI yet. Personally I believe he will do great next year. Win alot of races and be in the top 3 when it comes down to the chase. Look at his teammates for next year and their records. Come on Casey Mears won the 600 this year in a Hendrick car if Mears can do that Jr should be able to pull a Gordon and win every single sunday....
As far as the Engine problems at DEI... I wish Dale would go ahead and jump ship to Hendrick and save those engines for Mark Martin and Martin Truex Jr. lol
