Dale Jr finishes 30th in last weeks winning car???

Question

Is this just more evidence that he can't drive as well as his fans think??

Answer 1

Don't be an idiot! A suspension piece broke fool! He was running 10th when that part broke. You just can't stand it can you!!!!!

In 1985 Awesome Bill lost a championship because of a .75 cent transmission part.

So fool! A part breaking is no evidence of poor driving. I think you must really be a Dale Jr fan as well. Just can't man up to admit it.....

Answer 2

Dude, you had your ears covered a suspension part broke..duh, c**p happens. I'm sure he picked up some fuel mileage pointers and a better feel of the track for the race tomorrow, thats really why these cup guys were driving the Nationwide race today... Congrats to Marcos for a great win.

Go Dale Jr & Hms

Answer 3

no he had a suspension part break on the front end of the car

Answer 4

Why don't you do some research before asking a question next time? He had a piece of his car that's crucial to racing break and that's why he finished so poorly. Next time, unmute your tv so you can hear what the announcers tell you. They do more than just bull$h*t up there...I promise.

Answer 5

WOW! YOU DAZZLE ME!

He first of all isn't a road course guy. 2nd of all, he was running 8th when something mechanical came off the car. Last time I checked the mechanical tear-offs weren't the drivers fault.

I hope I cleared it up for you.  

Answer 6

heck, that happens all the time. my boy rowdy has won SEVEN times in the same car in cup this year with the same team, and NOT WON the other FOURTEEN times. he's even had finishes of 43rd, 38th, 36th, 25th, and 17th. big deal. c**p happens.

as for junior, he has said time and again he doesn't like nor do well on road courses, and i have no reason to not take his word for it - although he seemed to do much better than even he expected at infineon. he was out there today to get practice for tomorrow and he got a fair amount of it before something broke. they said something in the rear suspension at first - who knows what it actually ended up being. it broke.

whatever the case, comparing a team's performance from one week to the next - especially when things like "a history making run in the rain" are on one of those weekends - is silly, whether they have the same driver or not from week to week.

now, whether or not he can or can't drive as well as his fans think, i can't speak to that because i don't know how well all of his fans think he can drive. i'm a fan - not a card-carrying member of junior nation, but a fan - and i expect him to drive well. i expect top-10s from him, with the occasional win and some top-5s thrown in. but i don't expect that EVERY week. sooner or later something will break or he'll get caught up in his own or someone else's mess and there goes that thought...

Answer 7

He broke a suspension part stupid. He kept his nose clean. And last week finished under a rain delay. Fellows would have had to pit again if they continued and he would have finished around 30. So how about using your head and not compare apples to oranges. You are obviously a hater,  but you really look like an idiot when you just let blind hatred take over.

Answer 8

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

We have a winner!

Dumbest troll on the forum - Dan607!

Answer 9

A SUSPENSION PART BROKE... Stuff happens..... ok?

He just wanted to get a feel for the track first, so he can be ready for the race on Sunday. (Tomorrow). Alot of the drivers that ran today were driving because of that reason.

Go Jr.!

Answer 10

Ofcourse he cannot drive like his 'fans' (fence runners) think he can.

You have to remember - the majority of Dale Jr fans did not even watch NASCAR befor Dale Sr.'s death.  They came to NASCAR to see what the "#3" hype was and the grabbed ahold of Dale Jr as it was the only name they knew.   And it was the "in thing' to do.

For fans that have followed NASCAR more than the last 7 years do recognize Dale Jr as a talentless driver that shamefully lives off of his Daddy's name ...   Very disrespectful !  And sad that people cheer him for that ... Shamefully on their part !  

Answer 11

why so much hatred for JR and his fans..do not understand..yes he is a good driver not great like his father Dale Sr, so get over it already!

Is he the only driver that has had part failures, NOT so get the facts straight before trolling for answers you do not want to see, just my opinion but i know others feel the same..I am a Fan of his and 12 others so I am not biased! Just a FAN of Nascar

and BTW..still 2nd in points..you call that shabby, where is your driver or drivers in points???

Answer 12

Come on now, I'm no Jr. fan, but seriously? Name a driver that's never had a bad finish in a good car.

I've been on the recieving end of this too many times.

Just last week at Pocono, I came on and there were a few posts asking if anyone was happy about Kyle running out of gas. I guess I'm a believer in do unto others.

Now when those questions about Kyle arise, and you post a similar one about Jr. I do have to admit, I rather enjoy it.

*I shouldn't, but I do*

Answer 13

I hope he has two or three more finishes like that before the years out LOL!

Answer 14

Yeah, and Carl Edwards overdrove a corner and took out himself and Clint Bowyer. I guess Carl can't drive as well as his fans think either.

Answer 15

Some Jr. fans say that he doesn't go down to the Nationwide often because he doesn't feel a need to compete against weaker competition, but from what I've watched so far he was only running top 15 before the problems...so it's not exactly like he's dominated the series everytime he goes down, and he has no wins this season in all the races he's done in it. Maybe the competition isn't that weak. Kyle Busch is just that good. Road courses ain't easy. I haven't seen the race yet because I was in Nashville, but I'm going to watch it now. Maybe Kyle will win tomorrow. 1st, 1st, 2nd on road courses so far this season. He is an underrated road course driver.

Answer 16

1st is 1st, 30th is 30th. doesn't matter how you get there, but thats what the results show at the end of the day. fellows was 29 spots better than dale jr in the same car last week. and if jr was so good he would have been leading before the suspension messed up because the car certainly was good enough as kfellows.
