Did anyone else see the tears coming out of Dale Jr. the last two races?

Question

Kyle Busch took him out and he was about to cry.

Is Dale jr. overrated or what?

Hasn't won in 74 races

Answer 1

The man is third in points leave him alone. Don't you haters ever get tired of posting the same thing. So what if he hasn't won yet there are alot more races this season and this is his first year with a new team give him time to get use to there cars. And third is pretty good for all that he has had to deal with.

Answer 2

I think Hendrick's PR people are working with him on what to say, what not to say, and how to act. He talks more and more like Johnson and Gordon every week. He used to just get out of the car and talk, now he stops to think about every little thing he says, and he has to keep any temper he might have under control.

Answer 3

He was practicing crying for his upcoming role in a feature film due in late 2009.

Answer 4

Didn't see tears, but I'm sure he's pretty frustrated.  Maybe if people quit focusing on how long it's been since he's won, he could settle in, relax, and win one.  He's not the greatest thing since chocolate (or Budweiser as the case may be), but he'll eventually make it back to the winner's circle.

I think Kyle is a better driver (here come the thumbs down.......again), he just keeps right on proving that with his 8

wins in three series.  These two drivers have certainly sparked alot of passion, it's made it exciting to watch.

Hey Lynn, I've been a Kyle fan since his first race.  There are lots of us who recognized real talent when we saw it.

By the way, Kyle is with a new team, new crew chief, and new make of car and is first place.

Answer 5

Looked more like frustration and sweat to me.. No he is not over rated, I just wish the media would leave the guy alone, he'll win a race, going to the best team out there is a  major learning curve, just remember once he starts winning, look out. Theres other drivers out there with loosing streaks as well.

Go Dale Jr & Hms

Answer 6

Nope, didn't see any tears.  It was probably just a little sweat.  I sure hope that Junior wins soon.  It's got to be tough on all these people who are keeping count of his winless streak.  

Maybe they should try counting all of the REAL Kyle Busch fans*, not the ones who have just jumped on the bandwagon.  They wouldn't have to count so high.  :  )

*If you're a real Kyle Busch fan, then I wasn't referring to you, was I?

Answer 7

Wow, another Busch troll. And a DEM too! Why am I not suprised!

Answer 8

Yet one more disgrace to those of us who are really Kyle's fans..

Thx Lynn!

Jr.'s going to win a race this season, I'm tellin' ya!

Answer 9

this rivalry thing on behalf of the fans has gotten way out of control, perhaps if a few would lighten the pressure, Jr would not be as upset, keep in mind he bears the lionshare and the frustration must be daunting...no he is not overrated he is having too many expect perfection all the time...the "tears you saw were sweat so get off it

Answer 10

I think you are seeing things.....He is not overrated, if anything it is obvious that the past 2 years he has been driving inferior equipment.....He is in 3rd place now without a win,,,and has been right there for a couple of races,.....I think he will have at least 2 wins this year.

Answer 11

he was crying just like jeff there probaly  because he got beat up by a rising star

Answer 12

yeah right, no tears there. It was probably sweat that you saw.  And alot of frustration.  I am sure he has thought he would have won one race by now, he puts alot of pressure on himself to do good in every race.  So far he has not let me down.  He is doing a great job this year, a win will be there when it get\s there.  I am not worried about that.  As long as he stays consistent he shouldn't either.

Answer 13

Homesick for Mother Theresa...thinks KYLE is the boogie man..Dale Jr. is vastly overrated and or what?

Answer 14

I think what you saw was frustration and restraint.  He will not bad mouth anyone, and has to hold in his anger and emotions.  Remember he is still 3rd in points, and finishes in the top 10 consistently!  No crying there.

Go Jr.>>>>

Answer 15

hey, don't assume the questioner is a kyle busch fan, please.  

we real kyle busch fans have not met and voted him in yet, and his continuing this line of questioning (especially in this tone) isn't going to win him any support when it comes time for his membership vote.

i've been a busch brothers' fan for years now and one or two questions like this, ok, we get the idea.  but adding the 500th one to this area, come on...  you make real kyle fans look bad.

and although some shrub fans may not be junior fans - which is cool - not all of us are so short-sighted as to think kyle is the greatest and junior is c**p just because of their recent performance.  i like nearly everything my boy does both on and off the track, and have for some time, but must agree with him that it takes more than a partial season to be considered one of "the best."

but i have thought IN THE PAST that jr. has been overrated, especially while he was struggling with dei.  but how you can say he's overrated NOW given his career overall, and the fact he's in third place now?  he is highly talented, highly motivated, and doing far better than he has done in years. and that fact even transcends his switch to hendrick - he's not only doing well in his new home, but he's doing better than the old residents!!!

Answer 16

Jr is such a baby!

and Jr Nation is sorry

Answer 17

So what If the man decided to shed a tear makes him no less of a man. He is a real hard competitor and takes what he does serious as all the drivers do.
