I wonder how many other drivers should not be racing according to a couple peoples opinion on here. As there is always drivers that show up to a track for the first time and they all say the same thing " I just want to finish the race and get as much seat time as possible". Based on the opinions of a few here that would mean the likes of Carl Edwards, Juan Paublo Montoya and the most recent Nextel winner Martin Truex Jr. don't deserve to be in the races either as they have all said the same thing, the biggest difference between them and DJ's effort is that they got in rides which were first rate.
DWfan you and a few other posters on this thread really need to quit making things up to suit the story you would like to tell .
First there has only been one poster on this thread who has been critical of DJs driving ability and that was JoeyW who I would very much like to distance myself from .
Second Carl Edwards started out racing for Danny Bost and Mike Mittler which sure weren't first class rides and were not near as well funded as what DJ has now . Martin Truex Jr ran his first two years in stuff that would be comparable to DJ (used equipment) with backing from his father (like DJ) with the exception of of a one off ride in a James Finch car and it wasn't until his third year while still running with his own stuff that he got a shot in Dale Jr's Chance 2 operation that then lead to his DEI deal .
Both Edwards and Truex showed signs of talent running in the top 10 several times when things like batteries going dead ignition boxes packed up and miscellaneous parts a pieces falling off slowed their progress.
I am not even going to address your comparison to an Indy 500 winner and former F1 driver (Montoya) to DJ since that is just plain silly.
Its still very early in DJs NASCAR career and the jury is still out on wether he will make it or not . I wish him lots of luck because its a tough road to hoe and you also need a little luck but lets keep the discussion factual.
