What does it mean to be "due" for a win?

Question

people always say certain drivers are due for a win? what does this mean, and why is someone "due" for a win?

Answer 1

It means that they owe their fans "victory"

Answer 2

It means that it's been awhile since their driver has won and that it's about time for him to get it done! lol!! I say it about Jr cause he's been doing good this year and he has the heart, hunger, and desire to win and he's "due" lol!!

Answer 3

It means that a driver has been running consistently up front week after week, but can't seal the deal. Jr. is due for a win. I'm not a fan of his, but he has been the face of HMS this year. Kenseth is due for a win, but he isn't running that consistent right now to get one just yet. Mark Martin is probably due for another win, in my book.

Answer 4

I would say my driver is due for a win, he hasn't won since 2004 so it makes me mad when people say Dale Jr. should win or another driver is due because there are plenty of drivers with longer losing streaks. I even heard a Jimmie Johnson fan say he was due earlier this year.

Answer 5

They NEED it bad!!!!!

Answer 6

means they should of won a long time ago and they are due to steal a win. also the potential these drivers have and the aggressivness, they will win very soon. thats all it means

Answer 7

it means that they have a lot of potential, but often lose.  once you've lost enough, don't you feel like you should win?  that's what it means.

Answer 8

They deserve it, they need it, and it should have come sooner.
