Love the jr haters. Guess Edwards, Biffle, Harvick, Hamlin, Kahne and Newman all suck too as they hall have less wins.

Dale Jr's win on Sunday at Michigan finally quieted down the weekly rant as to 'when will the 88 be in victory lane again'??? It gave the TNT announcers one more time to tell the people at home 'how crazy' the fans go when the 88 is in the lead. It gave the MRN play-by-play announcers one more time to explain to us how loud the people are in the stands.

To be honest, Dale Jr's win on Sunday was a mere 'ploy' to make the NASCRAP public, and PR relations happy.......happy for the next 4 years.

I mean, how many more times are we going to have to hear about the Dark Knight Bat-mobile??? Mind you.... a car that has right rear sprint car tires for front wheels. (something that TNT/NASCRAP fails to mention)

At the end of Sundays race in Sonoma, just ask yourself.... "When is Jr going to win again?"

As far as racing talent (equal) About the only other difference between these 3rd generation race car drivers Dale Jr. and Kyle Petty is that I'd rather listen to Kyle speak over Jr. :cheers2:

Is Jr the only driver who needs a t-shirt made up for each win every 4 years???

:puking:

What does that say about you Jr??? Your Daddy wouldn't put up with that 'bs' if he was still here.....

I couldn't agree more with everyone!!!

I mean out of 16 races he has an average finish of 8th, 1 of which was a win, 6 of which were in the top 5, 12 in the top 10, and only finished out of the top 15 twice so far this year... Not to mention never falling out of the top 5 in points all season...

What a freakin joke this guy is, he should just give up racing all together and crawl back to North Carolina and see if he can get his old job back in the service department of his daddy's car dealership, cause he sucks as a race car driver... LOL...

I think that the Dale Jr. phenomenon (as in, the hoopla surrounding his every move - I'm not saying that *he* is phenomenal) highlights a distinction between modern NASCAR and most other forms of racing. In NASCAR, it's as much about the driver as a marketable product as it is about actual on-track performance. Granted, Jr. has never been a really bad driver, but his PR presence is far larger than one might expect for a similar talent whose name is not Dale Jr.

Same with Danica Patrick. Yes, she's talented, but she's also realized that her looks and PR value can definitely help her career, and she's been fairly shrewd in working that angle to the benefit of herself, her teams, and her sponsors. And I see nothing wrong with her playing the system for all it's worth. As the saying goes, don't hate the player, hate the game.

In any other form of motorsports, the PR value pretty much follows from the results on the track. In NASCAR today, the PR value can be the defining edge that gets you in the series to begin with - the image or story line can have significant value before the reputation is earned. It is what it is.
