I love short track racing (Taylor's Version)
Let's have some more fun.
Underrated - Chris Buescher and Ryan Newman. Buescher's never really gotten a shot, and Newman joined RCR right as that team quit being competitive, then joined Roush well after they quit being competitive, and still has had respectable seasons.
Overrated - aside from the obvious (Danica), I have to say Kasey Kahne. When Kahne went to Hendrick, the prevailing wisdom was that he was going to win championships, yet he only won a handful of races. Also Natalie Decker. She finished 5th in an ARCA race and people actually believed she would be the great hope.
Honorable mention in both categories - Aric Almirola.
How can one be underrated and overrated? I say he's underrated because, look at what he's done in that 10 car. And I think this guy's just destined for a breakout season where he wins 4-5 races. I also say overrated because he's only ever won at Daytona and Talladega in Cup or XFINITY (Milwaukee doesn't count), and when he got in the 10 car, he was in position to win multiple races and ultimately (usually on his own) floundered them.
