Lorraine from Toms River, NJ
I think that Henricks was letting teams share their setups but no communication on adjustments so having a setup in the beginning of the race didn't help in the end next year Dale Jr. and Tony Jr. need to do their own setups but I know he"s going to do much better, he did great for his first time with Henricks I know he wants to win his first SPRINT CHAMPION & he will!!!!!! COOKIE New Jersey
kay from New Holland, OH
I thought Jr had the car, but as the race went on the driver and crew chief were not on the same wave length. There was a problem somewhere,first half of the race he was the man to beat and when the last half of the race you'd of thought they switched cars on him. Hhopefully withone year under his belt things will go better. I was atleasr hoping to get to see Jr in New York. I won't be watching the show, just don't have anyone there I'd really want to see. JR in 2009!!!!!
Chris from Richmond , MA
I just wanted to say I think Jr. has alot of class. Sure he might say some things in the heat of the moment that he might later regret but don't we all . That just shows he's humane. I think he has a great sense of humor when the pressure's off. Hopefully next year will be his year and if not I'm sure he'll keep trying till it is.Keep watching for my signs at Lauden NH( the 6.7 and the Moutain DEW) Hope to see him in NY for champion's week
Belinda from Lake Placid, FL
He made the CHASE this year. For the first year with HENDRICK thats not bad. Next year we will definitely walk on stage at the banquet in New York, maybe as the CHAMPION!!!!
William from Evington, VA
Dale Jr. Had a much better first year with HMS, than his final year with DEI. I believe for Dale to win a championship, he needs to either get Tony Jr. up to par, or get Tpny Sr. back as Crew Chief. With POPS atop the crew Dale Jr was almost unstoppable, he had multiple wins seasons, won two Busch Series Champioships. We need POPS back to have more great years that Dale Jr deserves.
Sandra from Keeling, VA
I do not like the chase format. All sponsors and race teams - considering money spent should keep running. I do not like qualifying system either. Let them all qualify on time or cut off qualifying all together.
Linda from Andrews, IN
Junior did a great job despite having Tony Jr for a crew chief. I agree with the others that Junior won't win a championship til he gets another crew chief. Hopefully Hendrick replaces Tony next year.
Maggie B from Lineville, AL
WOOHOO....You go Dale Jr...You did very well with your new team and all of the changes in 2008. Just keep up the good work! I believe 2009 is going to be a great season for you!
lorraine from Westminster, CO
I think that JR. did great his first year with Hendricks team. I know that he will be in the chase again in 2009. I hop to meet him in Las Vegas in March.
Connie from Tulsa, OK
Jr. had an awsome year for his first team effort with Hendrick. He started off the year with the first two wins of the season (which I count even if the announcers do not). His points win and pole win where also impressive. Wishing hin even greater success for next season.
karen from Allentown, PA
I think Dale Jr had a good season for the first year at hendricks and will do much better in the 09 season with some wins
Patricia from Cohutta, GA
I think Dale Jr did a great job, but I don't think he can reach his potential as long as Tony Eury Jr is his crew chief. Same story as last year, at about halfway thru the race things would start going down hill. I am a 100% Dale Jr fan and I would love to see him WIN, WIN, WIN!
Marilynn from Marion, OH
I think Dale Jr. had a great start with HMS. I look forward to seeing him do even better next year. Can't waint for the new season to start. Go Dale!
. from ,
Donna from Vacaville, CA
As sad as it was at the time, Dale made the right decision in leaving DEI and moving on to a team that would give him the equipment and respect that he deserves -- that was made apparent by the # of DNF's he didn't have this year!!! Go Dale -- 2009 is yours for the taking!! Good Luck, you're a great driver and tremendous sportsman.
shannon from Ola, AR
what started as an interesting chase wound up being fairly boring. What the sport is going to is a two corporate team dominance. Hendrick and Roush have "bought" all the talent, so you either race for HMS, Roush, or "one of those other teams." As for Little E, he needs to grow some and get with it, take it if you really want it. Rick H. needs to make some personel changes starting with the 88 team.
Lisa from Hemet, CA
Junior's start this season with the Hendrick organization was unforgetable! His talent will only exceed as they progress next year in '09. With Junior's determination and Rick Hendricks support both as an owner and a friend they can only succeed further towards the Championship!
Denny from Rock Island, IL
I have had the privlidge to watch Junior run three races thisyear Martinsville,Chicago, and Talladega all in my great fitting Wrangler jeans. The best one was at Talladega this past October. Junior was by far the car to beat. It was a shame to see them put the 88 on the hook he was determined to win. Alhtough only one victory he had a stong Hendrick field to content with. His top 5 and 10 finishes show his ability to be contender at every track. It is great to see himn carry on the wrangler tradition his Father had.
Debbie from Heber, UT
Good year this year.Championship next year!
Gary from Middleport, NY
Jr. had a very good year: he won, he came in high often, but he had bad luck at the last end. BUT, he didn't have all the heavy problems like he had with DEI. If the wicked step-mother had been willing to work with him, we all know GEI wouldn't be in such a predicament as they now are. Dale Sr. must be looking down and shaking his head ( and maybe fist) at Teresa. Go Jr! Can't wait until 2009!!
Chris from La Habra, CA
I"m truely a Dale Jr fan. I seriously think he needs a new crew chief. He just can't finish the way he should. Tony always makes the wrong adjustments. Put Chad Knaus with Jr. I bet he could win a few races maybe even the championship.
. from ,
Jerry from Rochester, NY
Even though there were only 11 other drivers better than him this year, I expected more after the turmoil with DEI last year. Hendricks is a great team to work for (see Jimmie Johnson), and next year should be at least top 5.
deborah from Birmingham, AL
I think for his first year with a new team Jr. did awesome.but then again I never expected anything different.I agree though that he and Tony Jr need to be split they are to comfortable together Jr does not seem to tell Tony what is wrong with his car without him taking it as a personal attack on his ability as a crew chief .That needs to change .
Lynn from Piqua, OH
I think Jr. had a great first year with Hendricks :D And he had a great season, except for a little bad luck. He is an awesome driver and I look for him to kick @ss on 2009. They'll be saying "Kyle WHO?!"
sally from Lawton, OK
I THINK JR DID A GREAT JOB BUT ALOT OF THINGS NEED TO CHANGE FOR NEXT YEAR,LIKE MAYBE A NEW CREW CHEIF AND SOME NEW PIT CREW HE COULD GO IN FIRST AND CAME OUT TENTH SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE THERE JR IS A GREAT DRIVER AND NEEDS SOME HELP AND LETS HOPE HE GETS IT THIS OFF TIME...WE LOVE YA

Dale Jr made the right choice in switching to Hendrick's team. He did very well for his first year and I am looking forward to the 2009 season.
Ann from Granville, NY
I think Jr. had a great year.I wish the win's were more.I'm postive that 2009 will be even a better year.I'd love to see him win a championship. I love his dad.I followed him from the time he started.It's Jr. all the way in 2009. U go man
Cynthia from Green Brook, NJ
Dale...started the season with a bang! I love watching you every Sunday and listening to your voice...love the accent! I have to say that I am extremely happy that you were in the chase...I get to see you dressed up.. My hope is that next year you will finish in 1st and get your first of many championships! GOOD LUCK!!!
Kathy from New Lenox, IL
I think that now JR's at Hendrick's and he's got a 'good' car to drive he has proven he can drive the wheels off of it! Congrats on making the Chase and getting 12th!! I beleive he will do even better next year...
E A from Sturgis, MI
I think he did an awesome job despite not winning a lot of races. Driving for a new owner, new surroundings, and dealing with things prior to the season starting couldn't have been easy. I especially was happy to see him win in Michigan! Dale, Jr. is a great driver and will do a better job the next season. I do not miss a race he's in!
Tracee from Lebanon, OH
I love Dale Earnhardt Jr. I think he did really well with the swith over to Hendrick, I think it was the best decision. It does seem like he hasn't been himself though this year, hopefully the small break will help and come back for the CHAMPIONSHIP in '09

Dale Jr is greatest driver! They do not have enough coverage of him in relation to the number of fans he has.Hope they give him better cars next year. Happy Wrangler is a sponser. Go Dale Jr I am a faithful fan Vicki

i just dont know if it is tires or the engine or what else could it be. always a fan dana
Linda from Huntington, WV
I think Dale Jr had a very good season. He ran well and was in the chase.. It didn't work out for him due to some bad luck but he had a very good year. Next year will be even better....
Bonnie from San Gabriel, CA
I was really happy that Jr was part of the chase this year and of course I wanted to him to win. I this was a transitional year for him and that 2009 is going to be great. I'm happy for Jimmie and for Rick Hendrick but again next it is going to be Jr's year. My license plate says JR88CAR and I have it on my car proudly!!
mark from Alachua, FL
I met Dale ,Sr. in Milwaukee,Wi. back when he ran A.S.A. I think they have lost the true FAN I just dont have the excitement I did back when Dale ran in the cup.
emily from Raleigh, NC
JR I HOPE YOU HAVE MORE GREAT YEARS IN THE 88
william from Raleigh, NC
littel E is the man,kick the tires and light the fires in 09
MAMA DONIA from LAWRENCEVILLE, GA
WE ARE VERY PROUD OF JR.. HE ALWAYS PUTS HIS HEART TOTALLY INTO EACH RACE. THE ONLY PROBLEM, IT SEEMS, IS HE PROBABLY NEEDS TO TWEEK THE PIT CREW A LITTLE BIT. SEEMS THEY MADE SOME MISTAKES GETTING HIM OUT OF THE PITS IN A GOOD TIME. OVER ALL JUNIOR HIMSELF WAS AWESOME!!!
Joey Mitchell from St.Petersburg, FL
I thought Junebug did a great job this year.Just like rick told him we'll come back next year and spank'em. Just takes a little time to get the ball a rollin and when it does watch out competition because he is a Earnhardt.Since there's been Nascar there's been an Earnhardt.
Barbara from Niskayuna, NY
Thought Dale did great, next year will be even better. It would help if everyone would let him be himself and stop comparing him to his father. He needs to be more accessable to his fans with autographs and pictures. Our family loves him.
Cricket from Toccoa, GA

I was disappointed in junior this past year and my heart goes out to him because i know he wanted much more for himself and his team..i hope him much luck in 2009..my favorite driver and will never change...love
carolyn preston from Thrall, TX
I think Dale Jr. needs to get a new crew chief Mr. Hendrik will probley see that before next year.
Frank from Peabody, MA
I think dale had a good year considering a new team and car and owner he had some bad luck a few races with breakdowns and wrecks all I can say is watch out for 2009 Lil E is coming
Renee from Burleson, TX
I think JR rocks, and I think that given this first season with Hendricks-they were getting the kinks work out--if nothing JR is consistent and that is what wins races--it's your year next season JR--we are behind you always!!!You're the best!!
Carol from Geneva, OH
I think Dale made trhe right move to hendrick, and he is still the best drier there is... Looking forward for 2009 and watching him, and know he will have a great year... He did well for his first year with Hendrick, and he had some bad luck at several tracks. But next year will be a better one, I just know it'Go Dale go Your fan always Carol Wills
Amy from Franklin, NC
Jr is awesome. He did great all in all this year. Can't wait to 2009 to see him in the 88. The championship is his next year.
Tamara from Asheville, NC
Dale is A.W.E.S.O.M.E. He is truly the hottest driver in the business. As a driver, even HOTTER His first year with a new team and he made the chase, that is fantastic. I feel certain that we will see more wins in 2009 and a closer finish to take chase in 2009. What I would like to see from Wrangler is more advertisments during off season and tv ads with his SHIRT TUCKED in his wranglers. On second thought what about a tight fitting shirt that shows off his is arms and chest! Another thought..Number one commercial would be partnering with hanes and have Dale at the lake wearing a pair of wranglers & tight white tee standing on a boat, then striping down to his boxers jumping in the lake. Perfect commercial.
Linda from Sunman, IN
I think Dale Jr. had a great first season with the Hendrick organization. Working with a new team and shop always takes time, but they jumped off to a great start, luck was not always on their side, but he'll get thay championship soon. Go 88!!!!
Frank Passarelli from Pittsboro, NC
Dale you did a great job. Congrats on the win too in Mich.Although you didn't win the chase you still had a better year than the one with the most Blown engines. LOL A shot to the Step-Mom.I know. Unless they just didn't build 9,000 rpm motors. It was unfortunate that a broken Brake caliper took you out. Another DNF. Oh well better luck next year. Just wanted to say my son is a mech and is working for Rick H in Chapel Hill. Hope to see you WIN in Daytona 2009. Bye Good Luck!

Norma Schnable from Saint Louis, MO
I think Dale did a great job this season. I just wish his Pit Crew were as determined as he is to win. He be doing very well in the standings, when he came in to pit - he was always 4 to 10 spots back in the standings. Pit Crew needs to improve big time.
Ronald from Bethlehem, PA
I think Dale Jr. is the best driver there is next to hi father god bless his soal. Next year he is going to do alot better.
Janice from Bryan, TX
I think Jr is an awesome person and race car driver. Glad to see him make the move and I thought he had a good year with the exception of a little bad luck but overall it was a great season. Can't wait until '09. GO JR !!!
Sandra from Sumter, SC
If Jr. had better luck in the chase he would have finished much higher than 12th.However overall I think his first year with Hendrick was a big success. The #88 team showed great consistency, led alot of laps and made the chase!! Jr. just needs some good luck to go with his great talent and next year we will be celebrating the Cup Title with the #88!! Go Jr!!
Theresa from McClellandtown, PA
I think Junior drove the wheels off the #88 car at one point one did fly off lol, but i think he did his best. Look out for the #88 next year.
Tammy from Cudahy, WI
I've always been a Jr. fan and think he did awsome this season!! Good Luck in "09"!!!
Carol from Delmont, NJ
I really think he will do great in the chase for the cup and he will be #1 in my heart.
Jake from Sparta, WI
I know in my heart that JR will bust out of the gate in the 2009 season with a possible Daytona win to start. But the Champion next year will be Edwards.................or Mark Martin since he will have Hendrick equipment. Anyhow GO JR!!!!!!!!!
jane from Buchanan, MI
I think Jr. had a great showing in his first season in the 88 car. Next season will be here before we know it and I have confidence that he will surpass his achievements of this year. Go Jr.
Jake from Sparta, WI
I believe that JR would have done better this season with a better Crew Chief. I know JR would have been a Champion this year or would have taken second in points. Johnson should have not been the Champion this season, but Edwards should have. The only thing that makes Johnson good is his Crew Chief (even though he says he is from Chicago, when in fact he is really from Rockford!).
. from ,
Ed from Spanaway, WA
I was thrilled to see Jr go with Hendrick Mtr.Sprts.I feel Jr had an O.K. year,but now what he wanted or expected from himself or maybe from the team. If they can overcome the down times a little faster(not dwell on them,if that is the case and move on in everything. This team has Championship qualities written all over them, but they have to hold it together in the rough times better. I really support these guys and think they can be a top 3 contender for the 09 season and I'm not given up are you guys? Thanks for letting me vent. I only wish that I could be a part of this kind of team in my life. Ed
Deb from Ithaca, MI

I think that Jr. needs to fire cousin Tony and find a real crew chief that can help him finish races. Forever #3 Go 88
Branna from Tucson, AZ
I think that Dalr Jr.got off to a GREAT start. I think he made the correct move. It would have been nice to have NO DNF but considering that he had 10 last year and only 2 this year. I am looking forward to next year!!!!

I think he can do better, How come Johnson has such a great car and Dale keeps hanging back..Maybe it's time they changed a few things, like crew chief's..or share more info to get 88 set up to win...He's doing good but he can do better...
PATTY from OCALA, FL
I THINK DALE JR WILL BE GREAT IN 2009 HE IS AN AWESOME DRIVER AND HIS FANS LOVE HIM TO DEATH. WE ARE ONE NATION AND THATS JR NATION. I LOVE JR TO DEATH AND EVERY RACE I SCREAM AND YELL GO JUNE BUG. MY 2 YEAR OLD GRAND DAUGHTER DOES THE SAME SHE LOVES JUNE BUG AND KISSES HIM WHEN HE IS ON TV.
Roger from Florence, SC
I think Jr. is awesome, and Tony Eury Jr. is as well. I believe that the need to split, as they are just too comfortable with each and need to communicate more efficiently and less emotionally. There performance in Chase was lacking, the their lack of ability to "seal the deal"
rob from So Jordan, UT
I think jr ran good all year just had some bad luck I hope the 48 team helps with how they set there car up he just needs to be a litte more aggressive next year use the bumber alot more
Bob from Springfield, IL
There was nothing wrong with Juniors performance during the chase,just a lot of bad luck..Very disappointing,but looking forward to a more successful year,and a cup championship.
Chuck from Salisbury, NC
think Dale Jr. started strong in the Chase and had a good run up until the last few races where he had some bad luck. All 'n all, the first season with the 88 has been a good one. Sets the stage for a strong showing next year, I think. Go Dale Jr.!!! It's gonna be 88 in '09!
Michelle from Kissimmee, FL
I think Dale Jr will finish in the top 5. I would love for him to get a win in the chase. He has been pretty darn consistent throughout the year! He is a very talented young man on and off the track and has a very bright future ahead of him!

I remember going to Metrolina Speedway in Charlotte, NC and watching Dale, Sr. race. He was a great driver and Jr. is just a great in my opinion. I wish he could have won a championship with DEI, but I am confident he will win one or more with Hendrick Racing. He has matured tremendously and is decidated to winning. He has a great shot at getting his first championship this year. GOOD LUCK.
Mary Stout from Morristown, TN
Dale Jr has it in him to win this championship this year . I have faith in him and his team. I have been watching him since the beginning 2000. Ithink he is wonderful and down to earth unlike some of the other drivers who have their heads up in the clouds. GO DALE JR GO
John from Volpe, CT
Dale seens how your dad won his first cup in a wrangler car I think it might be something special because wragler is one of your sponsers to race a special race in those colors with wrangler on the hood. I dont know if it could be done but I would somehow find a way to get one of those diecast specialty cars. And Im sure you would win the race Good Luck in the chase.
Denise from Mississauga, ON
Your # 1 no matter what, from head to toes the heat, passion, the noise, to the goospump and tears to my eyes of joy / exictment / wish can be there. My vibes of this past January.....this is your year. Dale go get it!
becky from Lewistown, PA
go dale. Look I know you and Tony have been together for a long time but he needs to go. He is not making the right decisions for you and I think he is holding you back. You need someone that can that can make those critical adjustments and set your car up so you can be the driver we all know you are.

I have been an Earnhardt fan ever since Jr's dad was a rookie, I have had the privledge of receiving a very special gift from Jr's father. When he died he left me with the legasy of supporting his son. I think Dale Jr. is one of the finest drivers and individuals the sport has ever had or will have. I believe in him 100 % and I know now that he has the support he needed from an owner. He will go all the way. There is one thing that is constant in Earnhardt fans, and that is that we are totally loyal to our driver. We support him all the way, and we know we are supporting the best.

I think Jr. is giving it 100%, and he will win the Championship when it is his time. Hopefully it will be this season, if not it will be soon. Jr has improved so much since his move to Hendrick.

Julie from Jacksonville, FL
If his team can figure out how to keep his car running well until the end of a race he will do really well. If he fades at the end of the race the way he has been lately, he won't be any better than fourth, if that good.
scott from Hoosick Falls, NY
He's going to take the cup. Simple as that!!!
Vjcki from High Point, NC
