Which NASCAR Team Will Be The Most Dominant?

JGR is going to be the likely answer to this question given their success over the last two seasons. That being said, JGR is not the same team without Carl Edwards. Having Daniel Suarez and Erik Jones under their umbrella will create a certain level of uncertainty.

However, other teams will have their own questions as well. HMS will have to wonder about Earnhardt Jr. and Johnson while SHR will have to worry about Bowyer and Patrick. The team that this really opens up the door for is Team Penske. If Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski and Ryan Blaney all win and make the Chase in 2017, they might replace JGR as NASCAR’s best team.

Is it likely, maybe not, but it certainly could happen. The bottom line here is that you shouldn’t award the crown to JGR just yet.
