Well my opionion is that he is only in nascar because of his dad. his dad actually had to put his heart and soul into racing in order to become one of the greatest. All jr. had to do was go dad can i have a car. I think jr. would of never made in nascar if his dad hadn't been around. Plus when ever he does something wrong its no big deal but when it is another driver they make a big deal out of it.

I couldn't agree with you more. I can't give you my opinion because your opinion is MY opinion. Thanks for telling us your (our) opinion! Good luck in your racing career!

Jealousy is a powerful thing, and I know how hard it is to get over it. But try to anyway. You're not the only guy out there racing dirt and dreaming about NASCAR. Maybe it SEEMS that way sometimes, but it ain't. How about all the drivers who would love to hit the dirt track circuit and don't have the opportunity? Believe it or not, you're doing something yourself that a lot of people only dream about. Think about it.
And Dale Jr. wouldn't be in NASCAR if he hadn't earned it on his own merit. Dale Sr. didn't hand it all to him on a silver platter. He made him prove himself first, just like Ralph Earnhardt did Dale. If your name could "buy" you success in NASCAR, Kyle Petty would have half a dozen Championships by now. Even if Dale had put Jr. in the best equipment as soon as he hit the track and bought his way into the sport, if he couldn't race, it wouldn't have made him a racer. And that's what he is. JUNIOR RULEZ!
And I agree that a lot of drivers on the dirt tracks and short track circuits would have a chance to try their hand at NASCAR if the owners and sponsers weren't bringing in drivers from other motorsports divisions. I know, though, that's where Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart came from and have brought a lot to NASCAR. But it would be nice to see more new drivers come up through the stock car ranks instead of other divisions.

Ok dude, let me tell you a little something something about your so called "knowledge" of Dale Jr's start in racing.
Have you ever watched the true story movie that came out a couple years back about the life and start of racing for Dale Sr?
If not then you need to watch it and you will see that you don't know anything about how Jr got started in his racing career.
The name of the movie is "3 the Dale Earnhardt Story"
I would suggest renting or buying it and watching it! Also just because you don't care for a particular driver doesnt' mean that you should bash them like that. He went through his share of heck to be able to race and get to where he is now.
No not everyone can have the money he does at their disposal to buy everything they need. And if you are indeed jealous of his accomplishments, then you need to go out and get you some sponsers and make a name for yourself and then beat him on the track not on a yahoo q & a.
But then again everyone is entitled to their opinions, and not everyone will agree with you nor will they agree with mine. But just do a little research before you go and make false accusations about someone and how they got started in their racing career.

Don't blame Earnhardts.Place it on the teams that go out to get a moytorcycle rider over a NASCAR Elite division champion.Or they buy a big name from other forms of racing instead of a very good minor division driver(don't like to use term minor division but this is the best way for now).Bottom line is the local,regiona,or divisional champion does not stand a chance as long as NASCAR teams go and recrute from other forms of racing.

Does somebody need a changing. Jr. is racing because he expressed an interest to his father. Big deal!!! So his father is Dale Sr. Of course Junior isn't as good as his dad was. He is not his dad....he is his own man. By the way, Sr. has been gone a few years so your excuses don't fly.

I agree with you. I am not a huge fan of his and I think that he is only there because of his daddy.
However, there are many other drivers currently on the circut who have no wins, or very few career wins. Look at Vickers, up until Dega he had no wins in his entire cup career- he only won that race because he got into Jimmie. Casey Mears, Micahel Waltrip, Robby Gordon, Elliot Sadler, Jamie McMurray etc... I don't dislike all of those drivers, but they really don't have a lot of wins under their belts either. Of course many of those drivers are constantly changing teams.
But I agree, I really don't think Jr is that great. His looks did not get him in, that is for sure. And he is an agressive driver. When he does well, it is because he is a bully like his daddy was.

Man are you ever one angry, jealous person!!!! Dont blame JR because his Dad was able to get him started in his racing career, he also helped his other two kids. Of course having his Dad around helped him out, wouldnt you help out your child had you the means of doing it????
JR has also gotten his share of warnings and fines btw. Just last week he was warned about bump drafting, but when Vickers did the very same thing, NOTHING WAS SAID AT ALL!!!!!
So stop the pity party. You must not be that good of a driver or you would have gotten sponsers by now.

No, he'd be the comparable guy. besides, did no longer you examine the summer 2001 Payboy article? only call him Junior! i do no longer think of of him as Dale as a results of fact he's no longer his dad he's his own guy and an rather gifted driving force who ought to nevertheless get something out of the crap they gave him at DEI the final 2 years despite if no longer a win. each and all of the haters only have no longer something extra beneficial to do and could be upset he easily knows the automobiles and is a experienced driving force in his own appropriate. His in ordinary terms downfall could specially circumstances be Tony Jr yet that develop into no longer shown back while he switched team chiefs with waltrip some years in the past.

Most Nascar racers have connections to get where they are in life. What about Kerry Earnhardt? We dont hear much about him. Sometimes it takes luck and being at the right place at the right time to get a good ride, no matter how good you are. There are thousands of people who would be just as good as the Nascar stars, but only so many opportunities available.

I do not think that we should attack a man just because he is not as good as his father. I do not care for Jr. However, I think his father was a better driver, and to think Jr would out do is father is wishful thinking. I believe his father simply had a greater desire to win to go with his natural talent to drive. I would like to also state that I am not a Jr or a Sr fan, but you have to give credit where credit is due if you like them or not.

Dale Sr wanted dale Jr to sell cars at there dealership and actually is why he went to collage. dale jr wanted to race cars but at the time sr wasn't for it. dale jr had to start out solo and more or less to prove himself before sr took him on. Earnhardt is a strong name in racing. the family started Earnhardt's inc in a three car garage to the company it is today. If you ever see how jr handles racing he is most likely not to point and whine but pretty much say that's racing. dale jr was very lucky to have dale sr as a good example. sr was a good driver and known for being able to handle situations track,racing and drivers in peaceful manner. I feel his upbringing defiantly effects the driver he is today. Jr has won many races and proved himself on the track.
He had to do this no one could do it for him.
