Was Jr Nation throwing Full Beers at racers before the end?

Question

A fox reporter said Fans " Jr Nation" was throwing beers on the track while the racers were racing !! Why? Kyle or what?

Answer 1

Like it has been said, whos to say they were jr fans? Did they sign the cans? were they caught and identified as jr fans? Give it a rest!!!!!!!!! Any jr fan that throws a beer can out on the track is not real jr fan, nor a member of jr nation. Like Jr the real fans and members of the nation have too much class for such BS.

If a group of idiots say a chicken is a duck, does that make it true?

Answer 2

I've been at races before, it amazes me when people throw beers in cans or bottle....I do not think Nascar will do anything about this until some idiot actually hits a driver and it causes a accident or something,, and the TV idiots just love to talk about it.. I think its stupid to throw anything, just boo thats enough to voice your opinion, those idiots could have a beer can or bottle bounce back off the fence, and hit a small child well then maybe something will be done..Keep it up wild fans, you will be drinking $10.00 beers out  a small plastic cup.. That will be the only thing that will stop this non-sense, No Bottles or Cans (plastic or aluminum allowed) Wow, some people in the stands might actually enjoy a race with Sober fans.. I have nothing against people who drink. but for everyones sake, QUIT IT JR Nation and all RACE fans I don't care who you are, somebody is going to get hurt..

Go Dale Jr & Hms

Answer 3

Funny, the only person I actually saw throw something on Sunday was wearing a Kasey Kahne shirt, oh yeah and the loudmouth behind me wearing the Carl Edwards shirt was blasting into Shrub big time.

Answer 4

This has already been asked, but yes people were throwing beer in middle of the race (could that explain some of the flat tires?) It's just plain stupid no matter who is doing it. Anyone who throws beer or anything onto the track isn't a real fan.

Earnhardt had no problem with Gordon passing his father on the win list. On Friday, he said he hoped fans wouldn't react angrily if Gordon won. And if they had to throw something, throw toilet paper.

A few rolls came down, but beer cans were the weapon of the moment.

"I thought Junior had more power than that," Gordon said. "Look, I know a lot people here didn't want to see this happen, but I came here to win."

Answer 5

If they were they were throwing them at Kyle.

Answer 6

Kasey got hit by one.  I think nation is going to ruin nascar if they don't stop this idiotic  behavior.  If it keeps up, tracks will have to hire more security, which will raise the ticket prices.  These people with the beer cans are commiting assault, and if caught, will go to jail.

Answer 7

why does everyone assume it is Junor Nation throwing the beer.   I am sure there are alot of other fans out there that do the same.  Not  just Junior Nation.  It could have possibly have been for Kyle than again it could have possibly have been for someone else.   Either way it is stupid to throw beer or anything else on the track.

Answer 8

No I did not see it on TV

Answer 9

yeah i saw about one or two bottles thrown onto the track, if you wanna call one or two drunk dudes jr nation then go ahead but i think the reporters should rethink what there saying on live tv. thats the bad thing theres always a few people who wanna s***w it up and make us all look bad, if there were 5,000 jr fans at a track and 15 or so did something wrong then it would make all jr fans look bad and give jr nation a bad name.

oh and also, i talked about this before but i think the only real explanation to why they were throwing bottles at jr was because they were probaly so drunk they thought he was winning, lol. i  dont see why they would throw them at him when hes in second.

Answer 10

Pretty sure that Junior Nation wasn't throwing full beers - they're too smart to waste beer.  Maybe a can or 2 of that nasty-tasting AMP stuff.  lol

Fox reporters aren't really very reliable.  They like to stir up trouble where none exists.  Kind of like people who keep changing their user names.  :  )

Answer 11

I was there sitting right above the entrance to pit road and never saw anything being thrown on the track.  Also, we listened/scanned everyone's radio with my scanner and never heard mention of it from any of the drivers.  

And it's funny how you had to make sure to imply that only Jr Nation throws stuff.  Stereotype much?

Answer 12

I was watching Nascar This Week on ESPN last night. They showed an in car camera clip of Dale Jr. telling his crew about someone throwing a beer bottle at him, but he said he guessed it was for the 18 car!

No, I'm sure it's not only Dale Jr. fans doing this! I hope all the fools doing this end up buying their beer at the track in a paper or plastic cup at $10.00 a cup!!! There is a money angle to this, or the track owners would have already stopped it!!

Answer 13

Who knows if it was "Jr. Nation" (could have been any fan of any driver), but when Kasey Kahne took the lead, he said that a beer bottle almost hit his car. He assumed that they were actually aiming for Kyle.

I wonder if it was a Budweiser bottle... :P

Edit: Hey, Racin fast, you make it sound like ONLY Jr. fans throw things on the track. I hate to say it, but I know a Kasey Kahne fan who got in trouble last year for throwing stuff onto the track, (and unfortunately I'm related to that moron...) Not every Jr. fan throws stuff at the track, and not every person who throws things is a Jr. fan.

Edit #2: Yes, because every Kahne fan is a soccer mom. The fan I'm refering to is a 36 year old straight MALE moron. And I'm no soccer mom at 18 years old either. I don't understand why you have to stereotype Jr. fans to be so bad. I have a feeling your answer is going to continue to get thumbs down just because you've insulted a large group of fans. I'm going to stick behind MOST of Jr.'s fans, because MOST of them wouldn't throw anything at any driver.

Answer 14

If there were beers thrown, I assure that it was not only by Jr. fans. Last year they arrested a guy for throwing a can of beer and he was wearing a Lowes jacket. I wish everyone would stop assuming that every idiot that throws something is fan of Jr.'s.
