In reply to Sunshine Cool Water. Correct, but not unanimous. Johnson was never a wheel man, happened to get in nascar when the points system worked in his favor. Great driver, not a wheel man.

Eric’s man-love for anything Hendrick is ridiculous.
C’mon Eric, man up.

In reply to Phil-D. If that’s the case then again those people should be removed from the panel because now it’s not about how good you are it’s about who was in the ballet first. That’s complete bs

@jek 48 now go back and look at that 16 year stretch for Rudds streak. Childress a NEW team at the time, Bud Moore, Kenny Berenstein, Hendrick and his OWN team. Meanwhile JJ was with the nascar super team at the time Hendrick. but yeah Rudds era was sooooo much easier……

Johnson and Knaus deserved the honor into the Nascar HOF regardless. They accomplished what no driver-crew chief combination did in achieving the feat since Petty/Inman. On the Nascar HOF voting, I don’t even care if its unanimous or not unanimous. Whatever happened to Jack Sprague? He suppose to be on the ballot also. No surprise Lajoie is staying with Spire, that team is actually building up to become a good team for potential wins.

In reply to NikeHM69. @jek 48 I guess that's your opinion, but to call those claims of Rudd driving in an easier era 'a bit of a stretch' is the understatement of the millennium.

In reply to NikeHM69. @NikeHM69 It's common knowledge that Hendrick was huge on having teams share information. And Rudd definitely drove in different eras where it was known to be easier to win. Jimmie won seven championships, five of them in a row. And Hendrick/Chevy was definitely NOT the best in the series for JJ's entire career. Not even close. Lastly, Rudd won 20 races in that 16 year stretch. Jimmie won 10 races in just one year in a much more competitive era. These are entirely different universes.
