Who, besides me, believes that as long as Dale Jr., and Tony Eury Jr., work together, they will never win?

Question

I've watched Dale drive, and I know that he is a capable driver, but Eury's decisions as crew chief, well, they constantly leave me wondering whether he is really capable of making race time decisions.

Answer 1

I think that Jeff Gordon owns part of the 88 team also and his car isn't running half as good as Jr's.  Jr is already getting the best equipment at Hendrick now so if he can't win with it then maybe its his driving skills that need to be questioned too.

Answer 2

Tony Eury Jr. needs to go.  This guy is an idiot, 4 tires, Why???  Two at most!!!

Tony Eury Jr. has made so many bad calls, just like last week at Darlington.  He just couldn't get the car right at the end of the race.  This is such a shame that Dale Sr. isn't here to kick that cousin out of Dale Jr's. career.

Answer 3

Well even if he did want to get rid of Tony Jr, it's not that easy. Tony's dad works at Jr Motorsports as a crew chief for Dale's Busch team. You'd be able to cut the tension in the air with a knife!

Answer 4

Eury, I dont think will be back next year from the rumors in the pits...Jr and he do not argue in the pits, and never have....we have been in the pits at most of the races this year, and there is no bickering or fighting in public.....it goes on behind closed doors.

Jr will be better once he decides he has to make the change from the crew chief......he will do it, he knows he has to do it.

and JR building bars, well he has built one, and it is very nice, and he does go there, about 3 times a month, since it has been opened, he is focused on the track and not the bar.

he built it for the public, and when he is there, it is usually with Tony Stewart, that is the only person that has gone there thus far with him as a buddy, we were there on the opening of the bar, and JR and Tony Stewart, may have stayed all of 3 hrs and helped tend bar, and was not scoping the girls.

so dont bad mouth someone, till you know that person and have seen him in action.......this is how so many nasty rumors get started......and it just is not fair to any one.......

so research and make sure you know what you are saying is correct, and dont just rumor it all up...

Jr is a nice guy, friendly with everyone and especially his fans, at least he wont walk away from a little kid wanting an autograph like Kyle does, he turns his back and walks away, and we have seen this in person.

GO JR #88  you are the man...

and the bar is in the very elite  nice district of Charlotte, go visit it, it a nice place to go to, and they dont allow brawls or drunks to stay.......the bouncers are very big and they dont put up with any bull.....

Answer 5

I don't think Eury will be with them next year. May be even sooner. Come to the pits in second and go out in eigth with only a few laps left. You don't win doing that.

Answer 6

I sure think that.Tony Jr not as good as his old man either.

Answer 7

i dont think they will never win, but his decisions are definitely not helping the cause.  Jr. needs to break the family ties as a crew chief and move on.

Answer 8

I would like to give Tony the benefit of the doubt, seeings how I could never fill his shoes. But I too wonder. It seems everytime Jr is leading or has a car capable of winning some decision is made in the pits that hurts his chances more than they help them. Part of the problem I believe was DEI but a paqrt of that problem seems to have followed Jr to HMS. Maybe it is old school knowledge unable to adjust to new school technology. I am sure they talk about whats going on. Consistancy is not enough, HMS thrives on victories and they have had very few this year as a whole. At least Jr is the leader at HMS but I am also sure it is only a matter of time before the others catch up.

I don't know what the tie is other than family and family values. Maybe if Jr gets tired of seeing victories slip away in the last laps he will ask that something be changed. Tony has to feel the pressure as I am sure the crew cheif, like a quarterback in football gets all the heat for not winning. Tonight sure looked like a bonehead move

Congrats to all those Kasey Kane fans out there!

Answer 9

i am thinkin that also..I feel bad for Jr but sometimes you shouldnt mix family and business.

Answer 10

As long as Jr.... and ''THE WALL'' work together?

Answer 11

yeah i agree to you at a certain extent...

but i think one reason why my man hasnt one any is because of his personal problems. he's been through alot lately, what with theresa bein a beotch and everything.

i think as soon as he clears his mind, asks me to marry him, and gets rid of eury, he will start winning some

Answer 12

I guess you didn't stick around for the post race interviews on Speed where Junior agreed with the decision to take 4 tires.  Tony Jr. isn't the only one making  decisions on the team.  Junior could have done a stop and go if he didn't want tires.  Give Tony Jr. a break.  Face it, Dale Jr. is not going to win every week no matter how many fan are pulling for him.

Answer 13

Seriously, It's funny! Jr. is running 3rd in points! Very consistent! Has the best chance at a championship he has ever had at this point in the season and you all want to dump the crew chief? What crew chief did he have his 17 wins with? His fans are his worst enemy!! Look somewhere else for the problem!!!

Remember last year, "He just needs better equipment"?

Answer 14

Actually it is kinda funny, that Jr was running pretty good when Tony Jr was suspended last year, and Tony Gibson was running the show. But yeah maybe it is time for Tony Jr to go, h**l Darian Grubb's still with HMS(unless he's there for the inevitable Knaus suspension).

Answer 15

I think that 2, because when he was on probation, Dale was doing way better.

Answer 16

Hey, aren't there 42 other drivers out there to root for besides Dale Earnhardt Jr?... or maybe this should be renamed NADEJRAFEEOT (National Association of Dale Earnhardt Jr. Racing And **** Everyone Else Out There) Racing. And make it a 1 car field team with only Jr. driving cause that what it seems everybody wants and the only way Jr. will win.

Answer 17

just so you know,junior will nerver work with another cc. not until he makes up his mind that he wants to win and will do anything to do that..he likes building bars so he and his buddies can have a place to party and check out girls.likes being in rock videos and so on.. he will nerver win a championship until he makes winning a championship first..that will nerver happen

Answer 18

Whoever is making the calls on that team is making some DUMB ones. 4 tires with 25 to go?? He had a chance to win and his CREW CHIEF took it away, or whoever made the calls. I don't even like Jr. and don't think he's that great anyway, but his crew chief is dumber than the beer throwing fans.

Answer 19

Tony definitely made a bad call what's up with him they only had 25 laps why take 4 tires? Doesn''t make much sense I think Jr might be better off with a crew chief like Jimmie's or Jeff's.

Answer 20

I've been thinking for years that Dale will never be sucessful with Eury as his crew chief. I have no idea why he sticks with him after all this time.

Answer 21

i agree. from what my brothers are telling me they fight constantly. i think that tony should sit out for at least one race, and we could see how it goes from there.

Answer 22

Excuses Excuses He had the lead he just got beat

Answer 23

I agree 100%!!!!!!

Answer 24

I believe Jr knows Tony has got to go. But he may not have the heart to get rid of him. He is family.
