He has won the same number of races this year that I have ZERO. Is he he the most overrated driver of all time?

Awe come one..you know as well as everyone in Junior Nation that he's a lock to win the championship next year, because we all know the reason he has not been winning races is that his eeevil stepmother has been secretly giving him inferior cars week in and week out for the past two years and has a button in her office to make his engine blow at the most inopportune times during each race because that pathetic excuse for a human being would not give him controlling share of DEI when it wasn't his to begin with. It's all about the car, not the ineptitude of the driver...we all here at Junior Nation can see it, why can't everyone else.
Of course he's an overrated driver and just because he's going to Hendrick does not change the fact that he's not a championship caliber driver. Just means that Hendrick now has to rebuild his blown motors every week now.

Now that's unfair. a number of stable drivers, like Greg Biffle and Kasey Kahne, even have not gained this 12 months. All 3 of them have shown information. This motor vehicle of the following day appeared to truly trip a good style of folk up. after which you spot that Martin Truex Jr. have been given the solid kit, the stuff Dale Jr. paid for by using the years. 5 engines blowing out is not any fluke! next 12 months he would be utilising for people who *pick* him to win. Yeah, i think of he gets a minimum of one next 12 months, and that i'm one among those folk who think of he'd have much less of a acceptance if he became Jim Smith Junior relatively of Dale Earnhardt Junior.

Now that's unfair. Several good drivers, like Greg Biffle and Kasey Kahne, also haven't won this year. All three of them have proven records. This Car of Tomorrow seemed to really trip a lot of people up. And then you see that Martin Truex Jr. got the good equipment, the stuff Dale Jr. paid for over the years. Five engines blowing out is no fluke! Next year he'll be driving for people who *want* him to win. Yeah, I think he'll get at least one next year, and I'm one of those people who think he'd have much less of a reputation if he was Jim Smith Junior instead of Dale Earnhardt Junior.

First, I'm a diehard Gibbs Racing fan and Tony S. is my favorite driver. With that being said, I can't stand Hendrick racing but the fact that Jr. is going over to that team I believe will give him at least one win next year. They obviously have stronger better cars as evident by two of the best racers today. Even if he doesn't win one, he'll be at least in the top 5 or 10 according to where the race is and possibly in the chase, unlike this year.

Not hardly. I'm not a huge Dale Jr fan, but i don't think he's the most over-rated driver of all time... That's a little harsh for a guy w/ as many wins as he has. Dale Jr WILL DO better next season! He's going to be in one of the most solid cup cars week in and week out probably. That HMS team is SOLID, and if anyone thinks they wont win atleast another 5 championships in the next 10 years is nuts.

They believe that HMS is better than DEI(it is), they believe that at HMS Jr is going to come right in and be the top driver, and that is where they made the mistake. Jr is a marketing move by HMS, they are not going to make him the top driver there, and they are not going to get him many more wins than he has already. They will cut down on his DNF, but his win total isnt going to suddenly sky rocket, HMS has two teams that they love and then they have the two teams that they have to support. HMS will love Dale on the marketing side of it, but dont look for much more out of Junior if his name was not Earnhardt he would be in the Busch series still. More DNF in the last 3 years, than he has wins over a career.

I think those in the know understand that Hendrik is the top team in NASCAR and that DEI doesn't have the equipment to compete right now. Jr. has some wins under his belt and it stands to reason if the best team hooks up with the most popular driver they are going to do everything possible to get him some more wins. There is no doubt that he is a skilled driver.
If he does fail to impress with Hendrik next year though I will get on board the "overrated" band wagon.

I think he is so over-rated. He couldn't win in the #8 car & all you heard of what a great driver he is, well if he is such a great driver, where are his wins or championships? I do have a question for Jr fans though, if he wins at HMS, which I seriously doubt it, but just in case he does, will you all call him a cheater, because all I heard this year is how HMS cheats. Just wondering that's all.

DEI's equipment is not very good. Their engines are terribly unreliable. Hendrick, on the other hand, has the best equipment of anybody else out there. Jr has blown 5 motors this year. That won't happen with HMS motors. You clearly don't know squat about racing.

He's given the oppurtunities because his name is Earnhardt. Hendrick is giving him a ride and letting Kyle go and Kyle has more talent in his little finger.Can't argue with facts.
