Since Stewart is both the most aggressive driver & has the most titles since Sr's death, while Dale Jr is conservative & rarely a title contender. It would seem that Dale Sr's fans would have moved to root for Stewart more than, or as much as Jr. What is it about Stewart that Dale Sr fans don't like?

stewart is a dale earnhardt wannabe. he's about 50 wins, 5 championships, and a personallity transplant short. earnhardt was the most respected and most feared driver in the garage. stewarts fellow drivers dispise him for his hypocracy and his punkish attitude. earnhardt had the charisma of elvis pressley, stewart has the personallity of a box of rocks. so please, don't even mention stewart in the same breath as the intimidator, he's not fit to carry earnhardts helmet.

It's a loyalty thing. If followers of Sr. feel the urge to stay true and loyal to the Earnhardt legacy they will follow his son. Junior is much different than his dad but he carries the Intimidators genes. Everything Dale Jr. knows is all because of his dad. Sr. taught him everything so it's safe to say that #3 is still alive in #8.
Tony is a different story. He's pure bully. I love the guy but he's not as personable as Earnhardt Sr. (Not that Sr. was that personable himself). Tony whines a lot about stuff. Dale never did. BUT...I do look forward to Stewart being the new Intimidator. He can do it on the track, but he'll never gain the off track respect that Sr. had.

Let me say something here. I was a fan of Dale Sr. .....and I 'm a fan of Dale Jr, and yes, Tony Stewart!

BTW, I think the people that hate Tony...are some of the same people who hated Dale Sr. And I think another reason some people have hate for 'Smoke' is he's not always the 'media-friendly' or 'super-duper ROLE MODEL' type. They want every driver to be oh so polite even during a race...as a NASCAR fan since 1971, I like racing to stay the way it is. No driver should always have to be like a robot.

Tony has had an ego problem in the past but seemed to have gotten over it, matured ect. but tends to rear it's ugly head up from time to time. Dale Sr. or Dale Jr did and do not have these problems. Tony can be a Complete A$$, although he is a Good
Driver and I love to watch him drive!! Also somtimes I do in fact root for Smoke. Junior is my Favorite, he has Class!!!!!!!!!

I have asked myself this question, but not in this particular matter. Why is it that Stewart is hated so much for his driving and Sr. did the same thing? So what if Smokes agressive, wasnt Sr.? bottom line is i hate the fact that they say Tony is a wannabe. He is not he has his own style his own attitude and my opinion for those who dont like him are probably mad he bumped and ran one of their drivers. As for why the fans root for Jr.? i think its out of respect and it all comes down to he is well Jr. He is defenitly not like his dad, but i guess if you dont have one you settle for the next best thing. Thats my opinion.

Like you..I don't understand either.
I was/am a HUGE fan of Dale Sr. and I am a HUGE fan of
Dale Jr.
Although Earnhardt is my VERY FAVORITE......
Tony, Jeff, Kasey,Martin, Kenny are among my favorites also
(in that order). After that...ANY CHEVY DRIVER !!!!
I believe they stick with Jr. because of the Earnhardt blood...and the fact..they like JR. and believe in him.
"After all...your a fan through the good and the bad"

Bottom Line: I'm a Dale Jr. fan ...BUT...I'm a Smoke fan too !

Dale did what Dale did.He didn't act like cry-baby.He raced aggressively,but he also took his lumps without complaining.
Stewart started off this season whining about bump-drafting.He said that if it kept up "people were going to die"
So what does he do? The very first race of the season he wrecks out Matt Kenseth just 'cuz he's p*ssed at him.
How do you speak out against a time honored racing technique (saying that it's dangerous) , and then continually crash out other drivers on purpose?! Have you not been watching every race? Didn't you see what happened at Pocono? Did Carl Edwards deserve that?
He says that the rookie drivers need to learn "give and take", but then he gets p*ssed off and puts them in the wall!!
Tony Stewart is a piece of s**t! I don't know why NASCAR hasn't docked points from him.

If fans were to favor a driver due to driving and attitude, Jeff Gordon would be the likely suspect.
Sr. was grooming Gordon long before Stewart came in the picture. Look at his record.

I DO NOT favor Gordon in any way. Just stating the facts as I see it.

I am / was a SR fan . I currently root for Tony but my GAWD he has to get over himself!! He talks a good talk about safety on the track and about give and take but screws it up totally when it comes to real life.He needs to stand back a bit and take his own advise .You EARN respect - it isn't OWED to anyone.
