Dale Jr. love him or hate him?

[Starscream]

He has the best equipment in Nascar and you know damn well that Nascar bends the rules for him, yet he constantly "under achieves."

I think this has happened before, but no longer. I still think Earnhardt's win at Daytona after Sr.'s death may have been set up, but now I don't see how they're bending the rules for him.

I don't love him nor do I hate him. He's just another race car driver.

[Jackson 5]

Love Him, that's my dude!

I think thier are actually alot of in betweens. Me and all of my buddies that like racing area ll indiffrent towards him. If he didnt drive for hendricks I would propuley like him. But since i see Hendricks teams as the Yankees of Nascar I dont really care for him one way or the other..

[Bobby]

Indifferent.

He'll never be great, but he's nowhere near as bad as his detractors claim. He did win two Busch titles, which is nothing to spit at.

A real problem he had early in Cup was when he came in. Jeff Gordon was in his halcyon days, Johnson was about to come onto the scene, and Stewart was running well for Gibbs. Junior was also in Kenseth's rookie class, Kenseth, stylish or not, is top, top class.

I've always taken him to be a rather reluctant star, really. He seems a bit shy at times. You really can't blame him for taking the money, any of you would do the same thing. If you want to see an attention ***** with little racing talent, look no further than his star employee.

Is there a more overrated person in professional sports than JR?

[Goosfraba21]

It seems like he has more issues mechanically than anyone else at Hendrick. But I cant think of anyone more over rated.

[Bobby]

Danica. Dale has won more than once.

I almost find myself cheering against Junior's 7 car just so it's outside of the safe harbor when she comes back and she'll miss the field.

That could have something to do with a crappy driver abusing his equipment.

[MadHatter]

Jr is the most over-hyped and over-rated driver in NASCAR. All he has is his last name. People have made excuse after excuse for him. He drives for the best owner (or at least one of the best)....with the best equipment....with the best training facilities...with the most successful teammates. If he can't win at Hendrick, he just does not have the talent that everyone wants him to have.

[Zod]

Said it once, will say it again. Without his last name he would be shining your rims at auto bell.

He is the Dallas Cowboys of NASCAR

It is really hard to not like Junior as a person. As a driver though he doesn't have the hunger to win. He knows he will get endorsements and sell tons of merchandise whether he wins again or not. You can't really blame him though, he makes tons of money whether he wins or not. He doesn't have anything to prove at this point. There are a lot of professional athletes who are in the same boat. No he doesn't have his father's fire but who does? Probably one of the guys most people dislike like Jimmy Johnson or Kyle Busch.
