"Jr. got himself wrecked by racing with a better, or at least, more aggressive driver"

Well where did you come from? First post on this board? Just dropping in to give the 88 boys more grief? I just really get annoyed when someone who doesn't participate drops in to "give grief" to folks on this thread.

Anyway, I personally would rather have my driver be a man and take the high road rather than a JERK who will punt anyone to get one place further on the track.

Stop in again sometime when you want to bash someone. We are here every week. Perhaps next time the JERK wrecks someone and hurts them you can come for another visit and explain that it's just aggressive driving. BTW, you may want to check out the YouTube video above if you dare.

Actually many of us seldom type in here because of all the homers for Junebug. Its all right for the regs to diss Kyle and Kurt and Tony and anyone who doesnt love Dale. But anytime anyone makes a negative remark about Jr, they are jumped all over and told you cannot talk negative on this thread. You can just root for your driver.

I never liked jr because he is where he is because of his daddy. However I have come to respect him and actually like him a little because he always seems to man up.
But the whining jr nation ruins his good name with all the thats not fair and Kyle sucks for not letting jr win like everyone did at that Pepsi 400 after his dad died.

Just dropping in to give the 88 boys more grief?

Yep! I am a Mark Martin fan, though I am a Ford man, still.

I did watch the video (even though I am dial-up here at my cabin), and watched some "racing". I also have a DVR and reviewed it myself. What were you watching? Is this supposed to be a "gentleman's sport"?

Have you raced? I have driven sports cars on road courses, and have done some oval stuff. I started with go-karts. I always keep with 4 wheels. I have been "wrecked" and may have caused a few. None were deliberate attempts to "kill", they were attempts to win.

Do you know what the phrase "survival of the fittest" implies? It means that if you get there first, you win. In racing, it is a combination of man and machine. Do you expect someone to open the door for you? "Rubbing" is as old as racing. Get over yourself. DE, Jr, is just as much a "jerk" as any of them, and can play "spin the bottle" as well as anybody else.

Thanks for the invite. I lurk here often... I like racing!

...Anyway, I personally would rather have my driver be a man...

Testosterone is what makes a man! In racing, there is no room for second place, or didn't you know that? A winner is willing to take risks, including taking himself out. Any time they tangle, it can happen to either party. It is the skill that makes the difference. I guess skillful people are all jerks to you, but nice guys finish last!

As for arrogance, it isn't bragging when you prove yourself!

Explain to me what Dale Jr has proven? He is popular, not because he is a winner, but because he is a Junior! I have nothing against him, just nothing for him. When he has the backing of the best in racing, and cannot get to the finish line first, he is just another guy in a car on Sunday afternoon... and somebody else ought to be in the car!
