We are getting closer to the day that people realize Junior is not the driver everyone hopes he would be.

One win since joining Hendrick.....that win was only because Junior was leading when the race was called for rain.

I like Dale Jr as a person. He is gracious, funny and a decent man. However, I feel he does not have the talent.

Actually, I think he won based on fuel mileage. Either way, it wasn't a dominating performance.

I guess Jr will have to get used to cussing out someone other than his cousin.

If you're basing your opinion about his talent only on his wins, then you're including almost every one who is racing. I disagree.

After watching Jr. working just to keep that car on the track at LMS it's clear to me that he is a talented driver. That car was almost undriveable.

How many times has he been running well, come in for a pit stop where they made a change or two and then he's running backwards? Usually it's every race. Unless Jr. is giving them bad info about the car, it's not his fault.

The team has problems. Jr. has made a few pit road mistakes this season, but the 88 team needs Hendrick coming in and making some changes, starting with Eury Jr. There's no way Jr. would fire his cousin, but it needed to be done.

18 cup wins and several top 10 points finishes - but he doesn’t have the talent?
By that kind of reasoning we should only have about 15 cars each race because the rest are simply not up to par.

I believe he has the talent, his cars have sucked a la Eury, Jr....
