2008 NASCAR Driver Review: Dale Earnhardt Jr.

November 6, 2021December 7, 2008 by Amy Henderson

Dale Earnhardt Jr. started strong, but couldn’t close the deal. He was Hendrick’s best driver all spring; but once summer heated up, the No. 88 began to tail off.

November 6, 2021December 7, 2008 by Frontstretch Staff

Matt Kenseth has 16 wins in 328 starts for Roush Fenway Racing. The bar has been set so high for the No. 17 team, though, that just a Chase berth is considered a disappointment for 2008.

November 6, 2021December 5, 2008 by Amy Henderson

Crew chief Chad Knaus said Jimmie Johnson’s team would be five months behind to start the season, and he was dead on – the first five months went by with hardly a whimper from the defending champions, save for a win at Phoenix.

November 6, 2021December 5, 2008 by Matt McLaughlin

2008 NASCAR Driver Review: Greg Biffle

November 6, 2021December 3, 2008 by Frontstretch Staff

It was a rebound year for Greg Biffle and the No. 16 team. Having failed to qualify for the Chase the two previous campaigns (after finishing second in 2005), Biffle flexed his muscles late in the year, preserving a now six-year streak with at least one win on the Cup circuit.

November 6, 2021December 2, 2008 by Tony Lumbis

There are very few things in this world that are as consistent as Jeff Burton, and 2008 proved that theory once again.

November 6, 2021December 1, 2008 by Danny Peters

It was a topsy-turvy rollercoaster of a season for Denny Hamlin, with spells of fine results combined with stretches of immense mediocrity and poor runs.

2008 NASCAR Driver Review: Jeff Gordon

November 6, 2021December 1, 2008 by Frontstretch Staff

Jeff Gordon and the No. 24 team struggled all year long to get a handle on the new car at intermediate tracks, an issue that proved to be their downfall just one year after collecting six wins and a modern-era record 30 top-10 finishes.
