Answer
I usually wouldn't touch a question like this one. I don't do opinion questions, try to stick to the facts like stats and stuff. But I guess ya caught me in a good mood today.
Given those choices I would go with Jr and Jimmie and run Jimmie for the race.
NEVER count out a DEI car at a restrictor plate track. I think Jr.'s showing at the Shootout was a fluke and I think we'll see more out of him in the Twin 150's.
BUT, the Hendrick cars are stout this year at Daytona. I'm going with Jimmie in my Fantasy League.
