Junior is a nice kid and a good driver. He's got a blessing and a curse. He automatically picked up all of Dale Sr's fans upon his death. And he's expected to carry on his dad's legacy. I've never thought his heart was ever all into racing. It's not uncommon for 2nd generation drivers who grew up wealthy.
Dale Sr. was NEVER the saint (or the most talented driver) that he's been made into after his death. And Junior has never been as "cool" and as talented as he's thought of today. He's got great equipment and a great sponsor and they've never been able to really make it happen. Lets face it, he's got impossibly big shoes to fill, and he's a good guy but basically a geek.

I don't think he's overrated. Come on. He's young. He can and will win more races and championships. Sounds like some people here choose to be negative when it comes to Dale Jr. Look at Mark Martin. He's been in NASCAR for years and has never won a championship. Yet his fans don't say he's overrated.

see i was a Sr. fan once he died i crossed over to a Jr. fan. no i dont expect Jr. to win 7 championships or to reach anywere near his dad's acomplishments. Jr. does not drive or think the same way his farther did. Sr. is probaly the best racer NASCAR has ever had and ever will have. I do expect to see Jr. win a championship or 2 maybe 3. 2005 may have been the worst season Jr. will ever have. But as a fan i am devoted to root for Jr. no matter how bad he is doing. if your driver had a bad year like Jr. you'd still root for him right??? i would think so. anyways GO JR. WIN THE 2006 CHAMPIONSHIP CUP!!!

I was watching Dale JR race in every race he was in. I support my driver 100%, he had the worst year of his career and he handle it amazingly didn't whine or cry like some other drivers who also where having a bad year!He is consistent this year and he is getting as much attention as any of the other drivers.I don't see where you think he is overrated this is what the FANS want.

Jr. is overrated. Yes he is an ok driver, but he isn't nearly as good as people make it seem. He is just getting too much hype because of being Sr.'s son and carring on the Earnhardt name.. and because it seems like so many girls think he is the hottest thing on this earth (in my opinion he is ugly...)

The hype is because of the last name. Everybody expects Jr to do as well as Sr did. Maybe he will, maybe he won't. Look at Sr, everybody thought he was gonna be as good if not better that his father Ralph. Who knows really, I guess we will just have to wait and see.

i think h'es overrated as a driver. i don't think he's as good as of a driver as everyone makes him out to be. he will never be his daddy..
but as to why he's so popular.. well, first he's his daddy's son, and second, he's got the likability factor. i mean, i'm not a jr fan by any means, but i do like him. he's a good ole boy. he's like a goofy little kid that everone has to like. he's got a fun spirit, a good heart, and a personality that is refreshing.
