ESPN: Back to covering Jr. no matter where he is on the track??

Question

Did he really deserve all the attention, esp. in the last 5 or so laps while running outside the top 10?

Answer 1

He beat Kyle Busch which is the most important thing and thanks for doing your part in continuing the Jr. coverage..........

Answer 2

They always will. That's ESPN for you. Oh well glad that race is over! On to my hometown track of Pocono. The wonderful Pocono Mountains!! Go Truex!

Answer 3

He has never done well at Indy but the race was so boring I guess they tried the fan favorite although in Indiana it was Newman,Gordon and Stewart  Hey a new acronynm for ESpn  Earnhart Spots pervade Nascar

Answer 4

it is all about ratings and popularity..

Answer 5

Well I didn't think they showed him enough,  so...  too bad!

Answer 6

Came from a lap down which was great but besides they did show him a lot of love during the race.  I'm a Jr. fan but he wasn't running up front and i found it funny that i could still watch him on the tv race when he was like 10th in the race haha when they were fighting it out for the lead on the last few laps

Answer 7

dude he came from a lap down all the way to the top 10 he did deserve what he got on camera. Besides, everyone who runs in the top 20, even 30 at times, get their car on the shot.

Maybe you should stop worrying about things don't matter and stop trying to make Jr. look like a crook because he makes a major comeback.

Answer 8

Remember, his is the most popular driver so most people want to see him, but anyway, they just showed him for less than half a lap and then they went back to the lead in the last five laps.  Just go to Jayski.com in the next few days, he gets info from a site that calculates all that.

Answer 9

I agree, i said the SAME thing. Unfortunately it will never change

Answer 10

John F. Danica Patrick doesn't hold a candle to Dale Jr. Dale's won 1 race this season, Danica's won 1 for her career.

Answer 11

well considering he was running great before the tire incident and came back from a lap down and worked his way back into the top 10 until the end..i'd say that was worth covering...at least it wasn't all about kyle busch like it has been in the past

Answer 12

If he won every race he got the most coverage in, he'd already have the championship locked up.

Answer 13

whatever. get over it haters

Answer 14

its tv. jr has the biggest fan base. tv shows you what the majority want. and the majority loves jr. and yes I do to. it may not be fair but life is not fair. just like I hate that my show las vegas was cancelled but im not in the majority so buck up and deal with it

Answer 15

they actually didnt pay that much attention to him and every time they did talk about him either he was leading a lap down or he was coming back from being a lap down... this was a really tough race and to see someone come from a lap down and race not pit strategize(it isnt a real word) his way back to the top

Answer 16

All the announcers live and breathe jr. That's all he is, a jr. Way to much attention is givin to a mediocre driver such as jr. He is not a god nor  is he nascars best driver. So they should focus on drivers that are doing good in a race.

Answer 17

No.

edit: Sparky down there does have a valid point about him coming from a lap down. I'll give credit where due.

Answer 18

Hey he came back at the end.. still in the top 3 in pts...time for some Salmon on the grill and oh yes next weekend is Pocano.. (oh c**p another bad race) But a Chevy won today....YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh!!!!!

Go Dale Jr & HMS

Answer 19

I did notice toward the end of the race but I think the point they were trying to convey was the position of the chase contenders.

Again no biggie to me.  Time to watch some NHRA  and Yanks/Sox..

Have a nice night

Answer 20

Because he is the Danika Patrick of NASCAR...both won 1 race.,guy has to be dying of embarrassment working with class acts like Jimmie and Jeff...oh well...sells t-shirts tho..like in the old western movies, had to have a comedy relief...
