To all those who think he is either a] not talented or b] washed up; I ask you two questions:
If he has no talent, explain how he won 2 Nationwide/Busch championships in a row, and 18 cup races. There are people who made the top 50 list of NASCAR's greatest drivers who didn't have championships nor 18 wins.
If he is washed up, what was Jeff Gordon last year? He couldn't win and was having terrible runs while his teammates kicked butt. I guess Bobby Labonte sucks because he cant get into the top 20? Guys go up and down in their results all the time for reasons that have nothing to do with anything other than the fact often there are 15 cars minimum that could win any given race. The level of competition is pretty fierce. Jr. is going through a crap period right now, I wont deny that. That said, he could come out next year and go on a tear. You never count anyone with a good team behind him when he was a proven winner and he is still in his mid 30's. Sorry, most of you just WANT him to be done because you cant grasp the fact people like the guy because they like the guy. I agree most of the Jr. Nation can act like idiots, but I haven't seen Jr. condoning the idiots for tossing beer on the track either.
I believe that some that are doing the Jr bashing:
1. Have no knowledge of Nascar Racing talent.
2. Are simply trying to stir the pot (like most trolls do)
3. More likely are a combination of both 1 & 2.
more then half the haters, bash JR for that reason,Quote:

to me its all in good fun you need yr drivers you dislike and like, back in the day, my dad was a Gordon fan, my bro was Rusty fan, and i liked Dale sir
we had fun puting the bad mouth on eatchother driver ( all in a fun way)
but for the true JR haters dont take it so real guys, anything can happen in racing,and thats what makes it so much fun
The reality is that for Jr. to live up to expectations he'd need to be regularly running top 15 and in serious contention for the Chase. The expectations come from the fact that he moved to the best team in NASCAR, and he's running the worst out of all his teammates. Last year he was finished 3rd out of the 4. I think the problem is that Jr. is a better than average driver, but not a GREAT driver. He's just not as good as a Jeff Gordon or a Jimmie Johnson, he's not at that level of talent. But he's still a very good driver, and that's not good enough for some.
Most of the drivers out there racing every week aren't as good as JJ or Jeff.Quote:

Since this is in your neck of the woods I thought you would be interested and not want to miss the opportunity to spend some money buying lots of Jr merchandise. Th T-shirts and cap would look great on you. :D
and thats why HMS have him there, to make money with trinket sales... for now. Rather like David Beckham when he joined the LA Galaxy
I think Jr will turn things around. A new crew cheif is exactly what he needed, they should forget this year and get ready for next. Why not take a few risks and get a win or two to shut the haters up.
Eury Jr should have never moved over with Jr the Hendrick in the first place, Eurys and good CC but Jr really needed a fresh start and a CC who would take his crap on the radio.
Doesnt the same apply with the Kyle and Kyle fan bashing. He gets far more abuse than Jr.Quote:
