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.
And so we usually miss out on your grand words of wisdom...damn.

He’s not where he is because of his daddy. He may have the name, but if he had not won the Busch Series Championship and gone on to be succesful from there, he would not be where he is today. He earned it. Everything he has now, he’s earned and is doing damn well at it. If it wasn’t for him Nascar would be hurting financially. Who sells 70% of all merchandise??
If I had more time this morning, I would go look for all the aritcles that state his father gave him nothing but an old car to run at small tracks if that. His father was pretty much absent because of racing. Kelley raised Jr and protected him, now he does the same for her.
He’s earned everything he has.
For the most part, when someone bashes Tony or Kurt or Punkshrub here on this thread it’s because they’ve been a dumbass on the track. Jr usually drives with respect to the other drivers rather than with an attitude that everyone should pull over for him or they get wrecked or go after them on pitroad after the race.
