Does anyone else think Dale Jr's team is screwing him?

Question

I love and support him but damn, I never thought I would be so glad for him to get to Hendrick.

Answer 1

No, I just think most of the people who was on his crew have moved on to other crews...and we saw that today, someone messed up on a pit stop....heck this doesn't hapen in Nextel cup crews, it happens in busch and trucks...Yes....I'm counting the day till speed weeks in Daytona....I'm over this yr, I hope he can go out and win 1 race, but its not going to happen unless everyone else has bad luck and he is the only guy with good luck.....Bring on 2008.....I'm so ready....2007 is in the toilet, and its been flushed.

Go Dale Jr Go & HMS in 2008

Answer 2

No, morale is just REALLY LOW...

Junior didn't make the chase.
He's leaving the team next year.
Budweiser is leaving the team next year.
Eury Jr. has left the team for Hendrick already.
Steve Hmiel left the team earlier this week.
300 employees were fired with the Ginn-DEI merger.
All the old Ginn employees hate Bobby Ginn.
The team owner and the driver don't get along.
They've had terrible luck with engines and accidents.

All that stuff has a way of snowballing. . .
To win in Nextel Cup, the team really has to believe in itself and have good, positive momentum on its side. Jr. doesn't have any.

Answer 3

you're appropriate approximately Junior; he's no longer a twenty fourth place motive force, and he gets extra advantageous this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. regrettably, i won't say that he's between the final drivers interior the series. 5 years in the past i might even have agreed with you; in certainty, i might've seen him between the precise 4 drivers interior the series next to Johnson, Gordon, and Stewart; although, i do no longer think of he has the comparable quantity of pastime or dedication to the sport that he used to. appropriate now, i might nevertheless evaluate him a precise 15 or 20 motive force, yet he's have been given to get extra advantageous this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days to persuade me that he's the comparable motive force who contended for the championship in '03 and '04. i'm hoping that Junior will do properly b/c that is stable for the sport, and that i like this game. To me, those are the precise 12 drivers in NASCAR: Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards, Mark Martin, Kasey Kahne, Kyle Busch, Ryan Newman, Kurt Busch, Denny Hamlin, Matt Kenseth, and Brian Vickers. Drivers who interchange are all 3 RCR drivers, Biffle, Junior, Montoya, Truex, and McMurray. those drivers to me are particularly gifted, yet they income extra from their equipment and the process their group chiefs than they do from their expertise. although, i will point out this approximately Junior, Harvick, and McMurray: they might't be undesirable drivers on the grounds that they do o.k. on the restrictor-plate tracks, which equalize the drivers and make it extra approximately potential than equipment.

Answer 4

Ok so now you say Jimmy Johnson cheated because he they decided to only change 2 tires? How is that cheating? Teams have done that for years. It is part of racing, sometimes you take 4 tires and sometimes you take 2 tires. THAT IS NOT CHEATING.
And I don't think DEI would try giving him bad engines. Do you know how much it costs a team when they blow an engine. That is far too much money to just throw away.

Answer 5

They aren't screwing him. Most of the skilled people who made DEI go have left over the last few months. The people left are doing jobs their job and probably a few other jobs until they hire replacements and get everybody up to speed. Mistakes happen in that situation. Lots of them. Jr has had lots of bad luck this year too.

I can't wait to see him in a Hendrick car. We will see the old Jr from a few years ago back up front and running for wins. I hate Hendrick but you can't argue with his results.

Answer 6

Looks like moral is very low in the #8 garage. It will proably get worse before it gets better. I don't think anyone knows which end is up, Jr. is leaving, Eury Jr. has left, Hmiel has left. Hmiel as much as said the right did not know what left was doing. Good Luck to all. Cannot wait until Daytona-2008

Answer 7

Maybe there is somthing fishy about Dale Jr. blowing seven engines this year, the year he decided he had enough with DEI, and everything with Teresa, and maybe, since I am a Junior diehard, I do beleive the conspiracy theories, the fact of the matter is they don't make any sence, economically. It kills me on the inside to say this, it really does, but I'm almost gald Junior is heading to Hendrick. Almost.

Answer 8

Me too !!! hell now they trying to leave his lug nuts loose !!!
Haha THAT'S COLD !!! He's testing here,tomorrow and Tuesday.He should just say h*** with it, and stay with Hendrick
the rest of the year !! Or ask Rick can he take the test car back with him !!! Better yet, just take it on to Texas,that would be a lot safer !!! DANG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

I saw that. No I don't but I'll bet Jr thinks he's star crossed. It will be interesting to find out what happened to the left rear wheel. It kinda looked like it broke.

Answer 10

I think as soon as teresea even thought of Junior even moving to a diffrent team she had done started planning a thing to ruin his year.There is no way that tire could have come off like that unless they planned it because they have nascar officials standing there so someone must have been in on that deal because you are not allowed to leave them things loose on the tires so there was a lot of people in on that. so someone planned to destroy jr or kill him one because they knew he would go into the wall hard if that happened its a wonder he didnt get killed.
