Classic...you must have missed the race. Why would they give him a black flag for a lap. HE WAS WRECKED. I wouldn't have said a damned word if they found him at fault because it wouldn't be worth getting excited about. HE was OUT OF THE RACE. Secondly, he was NOT passing Vickers below the yellow line, Vickers drove down there and blocked him and Jr. didn't get out of the gas. That happens...ooh about 4 times every restrictor plate race. They don't get black flagged for it hardly at all. As for fans of Sr., I wasn't a fan of the old man at all so don't lump me in on that one.Quote:

You seem to forget most of these guys are wound for sound when they get out of the car and things haven't happened the way they hoped. As for No Frigging talent comment, it is your opinion, but you have little credibility when you would black flag a WRECKED CAR.Quote:

Big deal, Kyle was averaging one a year until last year and all the sudden he is doing well. Great...happy for him, that doesn't mean Jr. all the sudden has LESS talent. He had what he had 5 years ago when he was winning 3 or 4 races a year. I cant count the number of blown motors he had in the last few years of his time with DEI where he was running up front either. How many of those would have been victories? No one was driving that car for him in all those wins. You can fluke win once, or maybe twice, but these guys are too good for that to happen 18 freaking times.Quote:

You gonna tell me Ryan Newman has no talent because Kurt Busch pushed him to the win? You obviously don't understand plate racing. All these guys on plate tracks use other drivers to push them forward. Why wouldn't Dale get a teammate behind him?, espeically when he pushed Waltrip to wins in the past.
You know...I might understand your arguments if you actually could spell and construct an argument a little better. All I am seeing right now is someone who hated Sr., Hates Jr. and cant grasp the reality of racing. Your comment on why wasn't Jr. blackflagged at Daytona when his car was on the hook just demeans your credibility.
Now as for Jr's place in the sport, it is pretty simple. He may be the most popular driver, but he didn't ask for that pressure, and he is at best in the top 12 most years. 32 other drivers would love to be that good. Is he better than Kyle Busch? I would say no right now, but he could figure out the COT next race and win and go on a tear like Jimmie or Kyle did last year.
Personally, I don't care what you or anyone else thinks. I was a fan of the guy because of the way he carries himself, and how he will admit to fault in a lot of wrecks when he legitmately screws up. Kyle Busch hasn't admitted to screwing up once while wrecking a few guys. Jr's outburst at Daytona this year was NOT his usual style and I am sure he feels like the dummy he was, but spare me the bile. The guy has a lot on his plate he didn't ask for. Most guys can go about their business in the garage with out the media pressure Jr. lives with on a daily basis. I don't believe he will win a championship, but if he ever does, it wont change the fact some people think it was handed to him. That's too bad, because no one gets anything for free in Cup racing. NO ONE.
