Have Jr. fans who are hating on Hamlin forgotten about his little intentional spin?

Question

at Bristol to bring out a caution when he had a tire problem? Have they also forgotten that Kyle races a lot like Earnhart Sr did? And I do remember Jr wrecking Busch on a straighaway last season. I dont like Hamlin or Busch but I try to call 'em how I see 'em regardless. I asked this same question 2 days ago and it was reported?!

Answer 1

juniors spin at bristol was in the middle of the race, he didn't do it with less than 10 laps to go to help a teammate who was being smoked catch up with the leader and wreck him. what hamlin did was dirty, and he needs to be slapped. as for comparing the scrub to the great dale earnhardt, what a joke, kyle busch isn't fit to mow the intimidators lawn. earnhardt moved people to WIN races, busch wrecked the race leader and still only managed to finish second. earnhardt also never spun out with no one around him while leading a race as the scrub has done not once, but twice this year, once in a sprint cup race and once in a nationwide race. busch has a measley 6 wins in what, 5 years? the intimidator had a couple of championships by that point in his career. h**l, dale earnhardt JUNIOR had 10 wins in his first 4 years, easily out pacing busch's career performance. so please, let's stop comparing this overrated little immature punk to the greatest driver in NASCAR history, you're only embarrassing yourself. and yes, we remember the wreck at kansas last year, the busch fans have been reminding us of it all week, but we also remember texas last year, when second place earnhardt jr., who had a winning car that day, slowed to avoid a spinning tony stewart and here comes kyle busch, with his head up his *ss, slamming into the back of junior. that was the race when junior had to get in buschs car and drive it after repairs were made because no one could find the scrub, he was off pouting somewhere as usual.

Answer 2

you are so right!

Answer 3

Wow -- you hit the nail on the head there...my question exactly in another answer -- When Dale Sr drove like that, how come no one hated him??  As for the ones that thing Hamlin stopped deliberately to allow Busch to catch up, what about the second shooter on the hill??  Conspiracy theorists unite!!

Answer 4

Closed mind and lost brain cells from a previous sponsor (this BUD's for you)

Answer 5

I like jr but you're right he is guilty of spinning people out also.  If you read the articles on what happened, Jr actually turned down (a little) into Kyle so Jr is partly to blame for the wreck.  Truth is, that's just hard racing at the end of the race.  How many times had we seen Dale Sr spin someone out to get by them, Gordon, Stewart, Johnson, they've all done it.  At Richmond, I don't believe Kyle Busch spun Jr on purpose.

Answer 6

I haven't forgotten.

Answer 7

I haven't forgotten but you make a great point, I remember all those instances but never put them together. Jr. got what he gave.

Answer 8

I remember that but it was two different set of circumstances. For the record I'm not a Jr. fan. My problem with what Hamlin did was the fact that he knew the tire was going down, and by staying out he took the chance of it blowing out on potentially taking other drivers out. It is the drivers responsibility to pit when he knows there is a problem with the car. Felt Jr was wrong too for basically the same reason. As for Bush my reasons for not liking him are  the way he talks when interviewed the remarks he makes, and then the fact that he has no respect for the others on the track. That is eventually going to get someone hurt. As for everyone wanting to compare him to Sr. they need to get a grip. He is in no way like him. He will never have the class or the talent, and never the personality of the late great Dale Earnhart, Sr.

Answer 9

so every driver does that time to time it's called stealing a win ........................hello

Answer 10

Of course not. This race will make history with the way people are overreacting. Come on, did people forget about kansas?? YES, move on!

Answer 11

Have you forgotten Jr was penalized 25 POINTS for that action?

Hamlin gets sympathy, gee he should have won he led the most laps, don't give him more grief, it's his home track, he was in the cheap seats 3 years ago.

Hamlin wouldn't have won because he wore out his rf tire, he was being caught before it started to go down.

These young guns wear their stuff out leading laps while the real drivers save their tires to finish. They don't have bad luck, they suck.

Answer 12

It's not just the Jr fans, it's ALL Hendrick Motorsports fans who can't remember anything that happened on track more than .002 seconds ago.

Last night on "This Week in NASCAR," Chad Knaus stopped just short of saying that jimmie had done the same thing that Bush did to Jr.  He even said that gordon had done that many times.

As far as Bush being like Dale Sr,  He's no where near like Dale Sr.  He don't quite have the guts, nor skills yet to be like Dale....and this is coming from someone who follows Bush, and didn't particularly like Dale Sr at the time he was racing.

About your question being reported, you can thank the HMS fans.  If you say one thing bad about any of the HMS drivers, you get reported (except for Casey Mears, evidently he's not a super-star, can-do-no-wrong, racing god).  As rabid as they are, I think the lot of them need taken to the vet's to be put-down.

Answer 13

yep

Answer 14

Here here

Answer 15

kYLE IS NOTHING LIKE DALE SR

Answer 16

I didn't hear anyone trying to justify Jr's self inflicted spin, and two wrongs don't make a right.

Answer 17

Well first off,kyle would not make a tick on a Bear's *** if your trying  to compare him to SR. Second the wreck last year was not for the lead on the closing lap's and everyone knows Jr was not even in contention and was driving a car that was not even handling well. So what happened last year and last weekend are two different type's of wrecks.

Answer 18

I've noticed the connection between Kyle and Sr, for about a year now.

Both good, VERY aggressive drivers,

Both push everyone else out of their way,

both whine when someone else does it to them.

(Thank you, Terry Labonte ! lol)

Jr has turned into a good driver, that is trying to balance hard driving, with clean driving.

When yer driving out there, at speeds from 100 to 200 mph, stuff/rubbin' is gonna happen !

The difference is some drivers just seem to be in the middle of "it/wrecks" more than others.
