My guy Jeff Gordon appears to be having a rough start to the new season, but I have to say, Dale JR is having a really great season so far. I am really happy for him. He's finally got a car under him that can perform for a whole race. I see many great finishes for him in the future!!

Well first off I am a Jeff Gordon fan as well. You are correct in saying that he is not doing so good yet this season. I am pretty disapointed so far, but I think he will come around and turn 2008 into another great season. Dale Jr. is having a pretty good season to start out. I am extremely surprised, however, that we have not seen a Hendrick driver in victory lane. We all know that they are one of the better teams. Dale Jr. does seem to have the best chance of doing that this season. He is a pretty good driver and now he has the equipmwnt to do something. I was at Bristol this past weekend. Both Jr. and GOrdon fought ill-handling race cars all race long. Jr. seemed to get alot of his problems worked out, but Gordon and his team did not seem to be able to get it down. Jr. looked pretty good. Anyway, the point is Jr. is starting off to a pretty good season, and the rest of his teammates are struggling. I have a feeling though that Gordon and Johnson will turn their season around and we will see a very dominant Hendrick team.

What has really surprised me this year is how well the Toyotas are doing considering their dismal year last year. Maybe they finally got it figured otu.

yes jr, is rocking this year, I think he has made the best change for his career, I was a little leary at first but with his top mechanic on his side he is going to be unstoppable now, and yes gordon is having a touch start but with jr. on his team things will pick up.That team is going to the top

I'm hoping Gordon gets things turned around. As for JR, his move to HMR just proved what I suspected all along. Theresa wasn't putting the money into his car. You can't win races if you don't have the right equipment. I have seen Jeff have rough starts to seasons before, and I'm sure they'll get things figured out soon. HMR will have a great year.

I've always known he had the talent, he just had crappy cars after theresa took over. Dad put money in his car.. Theresa wouldn't. Now he's got a car owner willing to put it into his car to make him a winner again. Just hope things start going better for Jeff, and even jimmie....

The best decision he could ever make by leaving DEI. I am happy he is having a better year than in the past. Hopefully he can compete for the championship. Go Dale Jr!!!
