Kevin Harvick answered tough questions from Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Chase Elliott on this week’s episode of Harvick’s Happy Hour. During his time as a broadcast reporter, Harvick didn’t hesitate to ask this question to certain drivers he interviewed, believing it represented a generational difference. Although many supported Elliott, Harvick decided that Earnhardt Jr. was the answer to that question. “I always think generational questions like this are really interesting, because when the [Joe] Gibbs [Racing] guys were asked who was the better driver, Dale or Chase or Elliott, Because if you listen to them answer, all four of them will say Chase he’s Elliot. I disagree with that,” Harvick explained. “Because, growing up, I think, is it Joe Montana or is it Peyton Manning? Is it Tom Brady or is it Terry Bradshaw? You know, it’s – There’s a generational thing.
“So I grew up racing with Dale. I think Dale Jr., you know, has had a lot of experience with a lot of different cars. I personally would vote for Dale Jr. on the other side of the fence. ” Despite racing against a NASCAR Hall of Famer, Harvick has tremendous respect for Elliott and what both drivers have done and continue to do for the sport as a whole. . “These generations, different generations, who are thinking about who is good, have a lot to do with what you guys are doing right now, and I think you’re missing out on that.
I like to see their reactions if I embarrass them like that. If I had to embarrass them that much, I would choose Dale Jr., mainly because I would race more with him. ,” Harvick added. “I’ve seen all his work. And we haven’t seen Chase Elliott’s entire body of work yet. I know that, but it’s interesting. I think Chase won 19 Cup races.
I think Dale is in his mid-twenties. But they are in a completely different category than other athletes in terms of what they do for the sport, what they mean to the sport, where they come from and what their sport is called. “What’s especially important to me about these two topics is that they’ve been the most popular drivers for years on end, and it’s about their families.”The scale of what they’re dealing with and how they work You need to understand what to do. They’re both great drivers. Both are great drivers.
I’m a little biased towards Dale Jr. and what he’s done in and for this sport, but that doesn’t mean Chase Elliott isn’t great as well. ” At the end of the day, it’s hard to choose between the two drivers because they’re both phenomenal. Still, this is an interesting topic, and there’s still plenty of time for Chase Elliott to change Kevin Harvick’s mind about Dale Earnhardt Jr. being the No. 9 helmsman.
