Overrated drivers who are they?

[&JAG]

I'm talking hype, numbers or anything NASCAR lets get it out. Oh yeah we better be nice and leave Jr. Nation alone...

[bottom-bouncer]

jimmy is so over rated so he has one few championships big deal if nascar would make it fair he wouldnt be that good!

[harvey lee]

Look at the numbers Jag as JR is much better than many others.

You must really like JR to bring him up all the time.

JJ just might go down as one of the greatest ever.

Well said harvey lee.

Casey Mears: Look what Martin did with the ride he had.

[Harmonica Bear]

Regardless of the 500 win ......McMurray

Mears for sure.

[Big Dave2]

Elliot Sadler, Kevin Harvick, Juan Montoya.

I was being sarcastic harvey!

[LMITOUT]

Over hyped: Logano by a mile.

[&JAG]

Mears and Sadler for sure.

[gregg52]

ya salder days are numbered i think

he had to sue to keep his ride

i think its little to early to judge lagano give em this year

anyway

havick is ok i think

montoya is good driver

he won indy and some other big time race in formila i think

he'll win some races this year

[candiru]

I would like to see what Montoya could do with a top of the line team like Hendrick or Gibbs.

[gregg52]

ya i think ganissi is catching up slowly

hes a racer i didnt think it would take him this long

but i think he's comin

everybody cant drive for hendricks lol

[Big Dave2]

The all-time king of overrated drivers is Michael Waltrip.

[gregg52]

ya true

if wasnt for toyota he'd be long gone from the track any way

[bottom-bouncer]

Over hyped: Logano by a mile.

I think you have to give a kid more than a year to prove himseelf.

[LMITOUT]

Nope, he was over hyped as the next greatest thing since sliced bread.....remember? He looked more like a fish out of water. He should have spent at least a year in the Nationwide Series before going to Cup.

It's pretty comical to hear the apologists this year saying "oh, he learned a lot in that first year and should do better this year" when last year they practically had him pegged for a half a dozen wins and contending for the title before they dropped the flag at Daytona last February.

I don't think anybody has thought MW as overrated. Over exposed maybe. He's always mugging for a camera somewhere and basically made his career as a salesmen and not a driver.

[gregg52]

i agree with you on the salesmen part

he even sold the ole man on giving him a ride ...lol

ya they hype any thing they can get a story outa

but thats not the kids fault

its pretty tuff i dont care who you are to step in and think

your going to beat the the 48's 14's 24's on a regular basis you might luck out and win a race

[SledNeck]

WOW

Joey Logano is off to a great start. That young man is impressive.

[PierBridge]

I would like to see what Montoya could do with a top of the line team like Hendrick or Gibbs.

That would be ridiculous. Like him or not he's by far the most underrated driver out there. He made the chase driving junk and was in the chase for bit with-out having much to work with over-all.

[harvey lee]

Yes, Juan would be awesome in better equipment.

Juan is very underrated.

Junk???

Didn't his teammate just win Daytona? Then didn't his teammate get the pole the next week at California? Isn't Mc Murry driving the same equipment?

[&JAG]

His equipment is a ways behind Hendrick, Roush, Gibbs and Childress. I would even go as far to say MWR equipment is probley on par with EGR's stuff. Give him any of the top teams set-up and he would be as good as the #24, #48, #14 etc.

The EGR cars have speed and all but, the total package (aero, suspension, tunnel time, team etc.) is not in the same league at all! They can run well at plate tracks and qualifying any week but, after that how do they perform if they are in the pack? I guess time will tell...

I hope JPM leaves his buddy Chip some day and goes for the glory!!

[Double D]

Nobody has put Danica Patrick on this list? With the coverage she gets I thought she had won her first 3 Cup races.
