A few weeks back Jeff Gordon bumped Jr, the announcers kept saying when Jr catches him, Jeff's going to be in trouble, and they wouldn't stop talking about it.
They also try and build him up, saying things like his car is getting better, when he is droping positions lap after lap.
I can't wait to hear what they have to saw next year when he doesn't win even though he has the same cars as Jeff and Jimmy.

A dude you are the 1st person who has agreed with what I have stated on here all the time. Yes I am sick of it It has been this way all of 2007 and 2006!!!! They talk about Jr. before the race within the 1st 5 laps of the race start and the rest of the race coverage and even interview him a lot when he doesnt finish in the top 10!!!. I feel sorry for the 35 drivers who never get talked about or even 5 seconds worth of showing their Car. Your 100% right does this sound familiar?---Dale jr is working his way through the field he just Passed Ken Schrader for 22nd?--Look out race fans Jr. is charging to the front after that pit row mishap he just passed Elliot Sadler for 27th!!!!--Oh boy that Jr is driving the wheel off that car he just went around Greg Biffle for 16th place!!!--But they never talk about him when he goes backward through the field. The guy is not in the Chase but gets more coverage than 8 of the Chase drivers I think it is absolutely Sickening!!!! I am not a Dale Jr hater but enough is enough!!!!!

It's frustrating for me that there's 43 drivers on the track and they only talk about a hand full. But, on the other hand, these are the most popular drivers and so a majority of the fans are watching for them. I don't think they should've said the, "He's gonna be in trouble!" deal because basically that's saying that Jr. is gonna be immature and pay him back.

You of course did no study on the breed. the great majority of your courtroom situations are very user-friendly for Yorkies. If the canines has been to a vet & has no urinary tract an infection or different urinary issues inflicting it to flow indoors - after peeing exterior, then you've a housebreaking & habit problem. (He could be marking). If he continues to be intact - NEUTER him. placed funds into abdomen bands or pee cummerbunds to assist (yet no longer restoration or therapy the indoor peeing). he's hyper by way of fact he's crated way too a lot & exercised too little. If he chews up collars then in basic terms placed one or a harness on, once you will walk him. placed funds into obedience instruction so he can study to stroll on a lead come while called, and so on. & be greater perfect behaved. OR go forward and renounce him to yorkie rescue... in case you will discover any with an establishing to take him.

Boils down to the announcers looking to Jr to pick up where his father left off. The problem is, Jr. doesn't have the talent, nor the Intimidation factor his father did. Regardless of what the announcers say, they have to realize that Jr. has to earn his spot in this sport, not be given it on a silver spoon.

The announcers are fans like us and JR is a good guy .I like all 43 drivers but it is a little bias to talk about jr all the time through these races.I dont think you will see as much of this next year with the car of tomorrow.But jr has some large shoes to fill and all Its wishfull thinking from the announcers that dale jr will fill those shoes.

Jr. last name being Earnhardt is why he gets the attention. In reality he's a better than average driver at best, his lack of wins this year tells us the real story. If Jr is "all that" then why has his team mate Martin Truex Jr had a better season. You can't blame it on blown engines either, Truex has the same one under his hood.

They've always been this way....It like I say, Sirus radio is not that expensive, and neither is trackpass, you can get MRN/PRN so you do not have to listen to the dummy's on ABC/ESPN.. If you think its overkill right now on Jr just wait till next yr...He's my favorite yes..but I prefer to listen to race coverage by people who know racing, and cover racing, they cover everyone.. I prefer Fox coverage of Nascar on TV, and I'm sure next yr its going to all HMS...so get use to it...You have not heard nothing yet, whether he wins or looses...
Go Dale Jr & HMS in 2008

Absolutely. And Rusty Wallace is the worst. His love of JR and Hatred of Gordon is very obvious. Although I have to say that he wasnt "As bad" last weekend as he has been.

It doesn't really bother me when you consider where it comes from. Announcers like DW and Rusty, having had a close friendship with Earnhardt Sr., see Jr. as almost family, kind of a surrogate son or nephew of sorts, and are thus biased in their reporting when it comes to Jr. They have watched him mature both on the track and off and, regardless of his record, they are proud of him.

There has been a very big bias with the televising of NASCAR since ESPN has taken over.Junior is one of a hand full of drivers that are being singled out and it is poor journalism for the "neutral" broadcasters to focus on the same few drivers.
