Kevin Harvick picks Dale Earnhardt Jr. over Chase Elliott | Harvick Happy Hour

Who would be on your NASCAR fantasy team?

[bigfish]

My opinion. If Dei had not been destroyed by the witch. Dale Jr would have won more races and probably a championship. That team was the team at that time. Just my opinion.

[aaronz]

Jr if Dale Sr hadn’t died, Jr would have been a 2-3 time cup champion, with DEI, and DEI would still be around to this day.

[austinbeasley]

Id go with Dale just based on the fact that he had to race against multiple legends of the sport, in the 2000s he had to race against a prime Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, and Tony Stewart while still having to race a few old legends with Mark Martin, Ricky Rudd, and Rusty Wallace and was still able to get 19 wins within that period, while setting numerous records that Chase has yet to accomplish, if you look at both of their careers up to this point Dale Jr has a Daytona 500, 4 Straight Talladega wins, 2 back to back Busch titles and 40+ wins across all of Nascar, Chase has less than 25 wins in all of Nascar and 1 Cup/1 Xfinity title. If you take a deep dive into it their bith very similar at this point in their careers with Dale Jr being a bit more successful on the stat column, Chase has been jn top equipment since hia Xfinity days with JRM then with HMS, Dale Jr accomplished his stats before 08' with the equivalent of a TrackHouse car today, DEI wasnt a big powerhouse team, DEI in Busch wasnt either, Dale was taking an average racecar and fighting for wins and championships with teams that had millions more invested into its development, back then the only advantage was RCR engines where more reliable, HMS had engines with better power, cars that were more aerodynamic, better suspensions for handling at intermediates literally everything HMS, RFR, and Gibbs has was indefinitely better than what DEI had. Chase has always had the luxury of having literally the best team with the best engine builders and best aero department with his cars. Dale Jr took a regular car and made it spectacular on track, from my perspective watching both races. Dale was able to do more woth far less. Which is why id pick Dale Jr over Chase.

Blaney, Reddick, Rajah, Allgaier Now, if Blaney had the opportunity to go to Hendrick, yes he should go. Remember in the one of the episodes of the Netflix series I think when Rick congratulated Blaney & Roger said something like Don’t go and hire my driver. 🤔

[brandondukes]

Chase is much more consistent than Jr was and is driving cars that are much more even than when Jr raced. According to stats & analytics, Chase is much better except for super-speedways.

[Sawyer..]

I'm sure bristol had nothing to do with this

[JamesSanders]

My NASCAR fantasy team
Jimmie Johnson
Dale Jr
Jesse Love
I’d also go the one guy I cannot spell his name but y’all know lol

[bdanielcal]

I was a jr fan untill he retired and now a chase fan .chase Elliott is a overall better driver then jr he won a championship which jr never did .i would take jr on speedways and chase on short tracks and road courses . And elliott is still a puppy in nascar .

[jim]

Kyle Busch, William Byron, Sam Mayer and Carson Kvapil

[CoryLowe]

I feel like Chase has somehow become the most underrated driver in Nascar

[rnrmeier]

Flip the script. Chase wouldn't survive in the the Dale Jr era vs JJ JG TS KB Kb. Also IF I built a team it starts with Joey Logano, Chase Elliott, Tyler Reddick and Hill..

[joshuanazworth-vymt]

You know I don't know about that I mean DEI probably still would not been around when I still been around today let's face the fact because it was like this Dale Jr told his stepmom you give me 50/50 or I walk I was told when his dad died his dad renew everything in his will he gave Dale Jr 50% of the DEI along with Teresa 50% and that's what he wanted from his stepmom 50/50 or he would have walked and that's exactly what he did he walked now did Dale Jr made the right decision to walk out on the yeah I think so I mean look at where he's at today he's in the Nascar Hall of Fame he's in the Charlotte Hall of Fame with his home of the Hall of Fame NASCAR drivers .? @aaronz9410

[pablodomingo]

I pick Dale Jr over Chase Elliott. National Guard & AMP energy on Dale Jr car. My Former NASCAR driver was Dale Jr. I am fan of Alex Bowman & Chase Elliott.

[shanesmith]

What wasn't mentioned was the talented drivers Dale Jr competed against compared to Chase Elliott. Dale Sr, Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin, Tony Stewart, Kevin Harvick, Jimmy Johnson Busch brothers, Rusty Wallace, Ricky Rudd, Labonte Brothers etc. Who does Chase compete with? The talent today compared to back then isn't even close. That's why Nascar is hurting for fans and sponsorship.

[quix]

I would also. JR transcended the sport and carried it, his 1yr in 2008 of souvenier sales itself probally beats chase for 5yrs. If Jr had a mentor, say Letarte from the start, we would have different stats

[everythingracing]

To me jr. Racing change after. Corvette crash.

[wev]

Does Jr have a better track record than Elliot?

[doodlepops]

Jr. never won a championship. He rode his father's coattails. He wasn't great at mile and a half tracks. Did so-so on road courses. Chase is good on everything. Case closed. I'm not a fanboy of either, BTW. That's for losers.

[sloganloanseal]

Gimme Elliott. Dales flat out said he was playing checkers out there. I hope chase is going for a check mate kind of career.
