Dale Earnhardt Jr. back to the #3


Jackson 5

Recommended Posts

If arrangements go as planned, Dale Earnhardt Jr. will run the #3 Wrangler Chevrolet for JR Motorsports at Daytona in the Nationwide race on July 2.

Sources say that Earnhardt will revive his father's famous #3 in a collaborative effort initiated by JR Motorsports with Richard Childress Racing and Dale Earnhardt Inc.

A formal announcement is expected on April 29. According to team sources, a Hendrick Motorsports engine will power the car. Earnhardt Jr. currently has a personal services contract with Wrangler, continuing a family legacy between the brands.

That was great for him and everyone else involved.

And I think I heard them say the 3 was done except for Childress's kids running it in trucks and something else?

you heard right

It was Earnhardt's third time driving the No. 3 since his father's death, and he said this week he wouldn't do it again -- which he reiterated from Victory Lane.

"This is it. No more 3 for me," he said.

What a f**king surprise that Jr pulls off a win at Daytona in the #3 Wrangler car. Nascar ratings go up and redneck Jr fans get to party hard with renewed enthusiasm for the most overrated athlete in the game.

Daytona is the place where miracles happen (wink wink wink).

Junior isn't overrated, to be overrated you have to be rated. No one calls him the greatest driver around, or even a top-5 driver. He has a lot of fans, yes, but so do the Cubs.

Stop over any pit-stop gas station in NC and you will find that those people think Dale is the greatest driver ever. He just hasn't gotten there yet because Hendrick gives him sub-par equipment and he doesn't have a good crewchief.

I think those excuses have even been made by a few huddlers.

    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
