It's sad that people and the media don't recognize what the 48 team has done. Especially in the sport today, it's harder than ever to win a championship yet he has done this 4 times in a row. With changes each year including completely new cars, new restarting double file rule, etc. he still dominates this motorsport. Yet for some reason Dale Jr. is still the fan fav when he barely wins a race, even now that he is on the Hendrick team! I personaly don't think Jimmie will do 5 in a row but would love to see him do it! But for now, people should give him the respect and recognition that he deserves!

As a huge fan of Jimmie, I hate it when the media and other fans bash him, what him and Team 48 have done is amazing and it's never happened before. I've been a fan of Jimmie's since 2001 and never turned back, I'm not one of these fan weather fans that only go with the driver who wins the most or wins the Championship. I don't hate Dale Jr but he's not my favorite, what has he done? He hasn't won many races, hasn't won a Championship and hasn't contended for one in a while. I thought Jr with Hendrick that he would win races and be in the hunt for the title. You can't say it's his age because look at Mark "The Kid" Martin, in his 50's and almost won the title, and he finished second in the points, oh and won races in 2009!!
I agree when people should give Jimmie more respect, all I hear is people saying him and Chad cheat, they don't cheat, they would be caught and that's it. NASCAR doesn't tolerate it, people just whine because they have nothing better to do and their driver isn't doing as well as Jimmie or most of Hendrick Motorsports has done. I would love to see Jimmie win 5 in a row, that would be major history making but it would be nice to see Mark win a Championship, or Brian Vickers, I've been a fan of his for years, Kasey Kahne too, someone new wouldn't be a bad thing. The only drivers I dislike are Juan Pablo because he whines and thinks he knows everything and Kyle Busch. As much as I can't stand Kyle Busch, I believe he will win at least one or two championships in the cup series before his time racing is up.
Until then, go Team 48!!! Keep on winning!!
