Did JR inherit ANY of Sr's genes...?

Question

besides the ones that makes him mash the gas and turn left?

Where is that boys aggression. I know you JR fans wish he was more aggressive like his dad right?!? Be honest now!

Does it have to do with the fact that his dad was a Taurus which made him stubborn and aggressive? (other tauruses is Tony Stewart-Kyle Busch-Bobby Labonte and a few others)

And that JR is a Libra so he is lenient, and indecisive? (Like Joe Nemecheck)

You probably dont believe in astrology but it can be pretty accurate sometimes

Answer 1

Yup I do believe that Earnhardt is the biological Father of Jr, therefore JR. inherited Dale Sr's genes.

Answer 2

No, just a last name and a lot of fans.

Answer 3

How 'bout his ability to drive in NASCAR?

Answer 4

He is pretty good, if he had been driving for Hendrick for the last 10 years, you might be surprised at his win totals.

Answer 5

idk but thats pretty ignorant to bring something of that up....its disrespectful to him and his family....Plus what kind of fan would you be? Do you only like him because its Sr's son? Thats stupid man. I can understand you like him of that but not just that.

Answer 6

I completely agree with Sweetness.... he wants to be himself, his own man...... haha astrology you are funny!

Go Dale Jr.!!!

JUNIOR NATION!!!

Answer 7

r u kidding me he CAN BE exactly like senior on the track but he needs to b more aggresive

Answer 8

No, he didn't inherit the racing genes and I will tell you one thing Jr fans would never even think of or admit is the fact

that he doesn't look like his dad. Kerry Earnhardt (Dale Jr's

half brother) looks exactly like Dale Sr.

Answer 9

You know I am a Libra (Oct. 1) and I have been called a 'fiery foot stomper" so we aren't all soft.  neither is Jr.  I may not be a fan but I wouldn't call him lenient and indecisive.  If he were anything like Joe he'd be back of the pack with him.

I am willing to bet that he may win another race this year.  I don't think he will win any more than that because I think that there are better drivers out there looking for that same Victory lane.

Answer 10

Biologically, of course he did.

As far as the astrology goes, I have a crystal ball.

You probably don't beleive in crystal balls, but it can be pretty accurate sometimes.

Answer 11

Not many of them. He will never be as good as his dad.

Answer 12

Yeah I agree that maybe astrology has a little to do with it.  The fact is:  Junior is second in points....

Junior can be aggressive, don't you remember, maybe he chooses not to be...

Answer 13

Do you not recall the carl edwards accident...

Answer 14

Of course...This is a stupid question....You cannot survive in nascar today by being aggresive like his dad did...The astrology is c**p....

Answer 15

3 pair of Wrangler Boot Cut.

Answer 16

Tony Stewart once said if u dont think Dale Jr is intimidating try racing with him in ur rear view mirror and u will see he is intiidating.

Answer 17

They were both really good at making money.....SR was good at doing it by winning races....Jr is really good at doing it by being nice and acting like the good ole boy.

Answer 18

He did inherit the ability to draft at the plate tracks and even at the 1.5mile tracks.

Answer 19

Nope!  He did inherit his fanbase though.

Answer 20

Yes, well genetically yes, I am speaking from a genetic standpoint there is 50/50 chance there are genes. Dale jr. wants to be his own man, you know. He does have his genes since he was born to Sr. You see, children learn from their fathers the right and wrong thing to do...Earnhardt Jr. was a student of NASCAR and he has great appreciation for the past as he has driven retro paint schemes...Earnhardt saw bumping and agression wins you more detractors than fans...let him be his own man. As far as horoscopes and astrology it is alot about and coincidence. Joe Nemechek however has not had the right breaks in NASCAR to be a contender...yeah he has won poles and everything...He was able to win in the Busch Series he had a great team...in Cup he never had a great team.

Answer 21

Maybe 5 years from now when he is still finishing second he will start being more like his daddy!!

Answer 22

Yes.

Answer 23

just because jr. isn't aggressive doesn't mean he isn't related to sr. Maybe it's because Jr. knew that when he turned someone it might've gotten you a victory but it'd also ruin a lot of your fan base and what the other drivers think of you.

Answer 24

his superspeedway genes

Answer 25

Who ever said that personality traits were inherited?  Could be that it IS because his dad was aggressive, that he IS NOT.  Astrology has it's place, I am a Taurus!  Jr. just does things his way, sometimes I wish it were a little more aggressive, but I respect him for who he is.

Go JR.>>>>

Answer 26

I dont beleive in it

i think right now he's being patient

it'll finally come out of him

Answer 27

yep-wranglers!

Answer 28

I'm absolutely nothing at all even remotely close to being like my mother.

Doesn't mean she's not still my momma!!

Answer 29

i think that dale earnhart jr. is completely overrated that doesn't mean i dont have respect for the man but get real the only reason people like him is b/c his father by the way it took him 76 races to win another jr. fans get real.

Answer 30

Perhaps he didn't like that quality about his dad.  I saw the movie about Dale, Sr. he had quite the temper. Sometimes children don't repeat the behaviors of their parents that they didn't appreciate.

Answer 31

He hasnt came close to all the accomplitioments Sr. has (like Kyle Petty)
