Dale Jr. love him or hate him?

[Dpantherman]

I don't think there's any in between. so which is it. If you don't like that, then we can just use this opportunity to say way Kyle Busch is a douche. which ever you choose.

Dale Jr. is going to get a Sprint Cup Championship Trophy!! It would be nice to see it happen this year!

[Goosfraba21]

I don't hate or like Jr. He races for Hendrick and has the best equipment to drive and still under achieves. Not sure what he needs to be a competitor. There is no way he wins a cup championship unless something drastically changes with him.

[pantherfan49]

He sucks as a driver but I don't mind him. His fans are another story.

I just wish his fans could keep it real and admit that the only reason he is even in NASCAR is because of his last name. He has the best equipment in Nascar and you know damn well that Nascar bends the rules for him, yet he constantly "under achieves."

Just face it Earnhardt Jr. fans, your driver sucks and you are cheering for the name and image, not the talent.

the talent is there, but he just doesn't care enough. He would rather be out partying late nights then be up at the crack of dawn out practicing somewhere. IMHO, and I am a Jr. fan, he doesn't have the heart to be a great driver like Sr. or Gordon. maybe he just wants to be an owner. I dunno. Hopefully, he'll prove me wrong, but I'm not getting my hopes up. *sigh*

JR has the family name,which has made him famous and lots of $$$ with T V ads and investments.

I M O JR is just out to show up on Sunday

I am about done defending him as a driver......I was a huge Earnhardt Sr fan, and after the wreck I actually stopped watching for a while. I then picked back up and didn't really like any driver so I stayed with the name. I have defended JR I dont know how many times in the past, and I have put a lot of blame on the crew chief Tony Jr. Even though he is still doing much better this season, he has came into the race having the car to beat with practice times, but fails to even have a top 10 finish. This now tells me one thing, he might be able to drive, but when it comes to tweaking the car throughout the race JR has no clue what is going on. Listening to Stewart, Grodon, Johnson, etc you will hear all of the tell their crew chief what is eactly the problem and even sometimes make suggestions.....JR gets on the radio and starts arguing and giving very little detail to what is wrong.

[tarheelblue89]

I will always hate him, but that hate has lessened over the years because of how bad he is.

[House]

I am not a fan of Jr's, at all.

Part of his problem is who his family is. He comes from money. He never had to race to put food on the table, he never had to worry about losing his sponsorships and getting booted by a team owner. I don't doubt that the talent is there, but there was never that hunger. That knowledge that a lot of drivers have that if they don't go out and learn everything about the car and race hard, give the CC good info, and do everything possible to win it could all be over.

A lot of the top drivers struggled as kids growing up and/or struggled to break into NASCAR. They understand what it takes to get there and how many guys who spend Friday and Saturday nights at the dirt track never get a shot. A lot of those guys are good drivers too.

It was all handed to Jr. I guarantee you though if his daddy was still alive he would be a better driver. Sr. would have never put up with his whiny b.s. and would have pushed him to become better.

This. And his fans.

[PantherBrew]

He aint nothin like his daddy.

Dale would call him a pussy and tell him to win.

That's about right too. He would not be happy with him these days.

[Starscream]

Since M. Waltrip isn't full time anymore, I'm pulling for both Gordon and Jr. I'm not a diehard Jr. fan, but I am pulling for him.
