First, even by some long chance he won 7 championships and as many
races, he started out with great equipment and Sr. didn't have that
advantage. So far anyway, he doesn't wreck people every race like Sr.
did to win races. I am not a Jr. fan but respect him for driving as
clean as he does. Well, most of the time.

Why do you write consistently stupid posts? Is it your shtick or something you
just can't help doing?

what ??? You mean Junior will win at
least 7 titles ?? Dont think so..but
who knows.
That isn't a good measurement of how good a driver is. DE was
ruthless, dangerously crashing cars out of his way to most of his 76
wins. You can't do that any more with current NASCAR rules, unless
you are named Earnhardt, but Junior is too nice to do that.

IMO...
Dale Jr. will not be as good as his dad. He will not win 7 titles or will
he
win as many races.

See I don't think so, because I saw Sr., take a piece of running junk car
and
place in the top 5....haven't watched Jr., be able to do that.

Yup. Joonyer will never be more than an average cup driver. Pa could
adjust to ill handling equipment as long as he had top notch power under the
hood he was capable of contending for front spots. Joonyer takes it to the
garage to make the rest of the race a "test" or just gets frustrated........

In defense of Junior, please see the rest of the driver line up for NASCAR sir.
You want to pick average? Most of them are.

Matter of fact I have not seen a race in the last 3 years where I'll go to
myself....geez that was a great move/ bit of driving, etc.
Not once.


Very few, and I'd say NONE of the younger drivers starting from Jeff Gordon on
down know how to take a piece of junk car and place. Because they don't
understand, care to know or whatever about working on the car itself. ALL of
them rather whine, and this includes some of the older drivers.

SR. well he just ran with it. That's why I say no one and I mean no one is in
the caliber of SR when it comes to racing. I don't give a ding dong if Jeff
Gordon and any other driver wins more races/championships or not...point is
no one racing now can do what Dale did, and very few ever could.

Could you see one of our Nascar princes getting back in a car that just flipped
and finish a race? Hell no. NONE of them would/could do it.

There isn't a true all around race driver left in the series.

I'm looking forward to my move, so I can attend some local track racing and see
/ watch back to basic racing, where the drivers really are talented, can work
on their own car, and just want to win.

Racing at it's purest.

Wrong. Ward Burton is an "average" Cup driver. Johnny Benson is an "average"
Cup driver. Jeremy Mayfield is an "average" Cup driver.

Frustration can be overcome. Junior will only get better.
