You do realize that if his career ended right now, he would be tied for wins (and in much fewer starts, too) with Nascar greats, Neil Bonnett, Harry Gant, and Geoff Bodine, He's only one behind Buddy Baker (another son of a champion that never reached the level of his father). Junior's got to get his head on straight (and yes that's his problem) and get his confidence back
I also think that his big problem is getting his confidence back. Things kinda snowballed for him on the downside this year and he never recovered. Those that say he has no talent, however, are out in left field. He will probably never approach his father in talent, but who does.Quote:

Yes you are and you know it. He has a fast car, good fuel strategy, and comes home a very decent 3rd, and the first thing you do is get on the "bash Jr." thread?Quote:

what makes you think i hate jr?
Guess you failed to notice he was the fastest guy for most of the last 22 laps and the leaders started standing on it when they realized he was comiing. Vickers and Gordon both stated they were not really coasting much at all in the last 10 laps. Jr. just ran out of laps. Good finish for a lousy season.Quote:

The guy ran a decent race, no fanfare...leave it at that. He was running the fastest laps in the last 20 laps but had too far to come. That's it, that's all.
sorry that i dont look for every way out for jr to look good now ;)Quote:

and couldnt get 2nd or win * no bashing there* omg i know how jr fans feel now :rolleyes:
I didn't say he wasn't sucking. Just when the guy does well you dump on him for not winning. I pointed out that he was the fastest guy for most of the last 20 laps. So go look for some other reason to dump on the guy. He has been kicked around most of the year, and he may not ever be the driver some might want him to be, but if he is the only guy on this forum to have a thread for people to rip him, I should point out the reality of when has a good day.Quote:

I can believe he didn't win, Vickers had enough fuel to keep racing for the lead and Jr. had too much ground to make up. I was just glad he didn't have a motor blow or tire go down on him in the last run. As for you cheering for him, you never struck me in the past as that supportive of the guy.Quote:
