Chase Elliott and Dale Jr. are two well-known drivers in the world of NASCAR. Both have had successful careers and have built a loyal fan base. Recently, the drivers from Joe Gibbs Racing were questioned about who is the better driver between the two.
In an interview for his show on Fox Sports, the 2014 NASCAR Cup champion sat down with the JGR drivers to discuss this topic. Denny Hamlin, who is a close friend of Dale Jr., chose Chase Elliott as the better driver. Ty Gibbs and Martin Truex Jr. also supported Elliott, highlighting his championship win. Even Bell, when asked, supported Bill Elliott’s son. Everyone chose the active driver, as they still have to compete against him.
Kevin Harvick, a former SHR driver, is known for his active presence on social media, especially on X. He frequently interacts with fans and was recently asked by a fan to choose the better driver between a seven-time Cup champion and a four-time Cup champion. Surprisingly, he chose the latter.
Harvick was then asked by another fan about the debate between two legends. He chose the former RCR driver over Petty, who has an impressive record of over 200 Cup wins.
It is important to note that choosing the better driver who peaked in different eras is a subjective matter. Dale Jr. made some bold choices, like selecting Gordon over Johnson. This decision is debatable, considering Johnson consistently outperformed Gordon when they were teammates at Hendrick Motorsports.
