Why can't anyone admit Jr just may be a great driver?

Question

When Jr started people blamed his running up front on his father, it must have been Sr that made sure his son did well. Then when DEI is giving bad equipment to him and he's running rough(5 DNFs while running close to top ten) all the haters say 'see he's just that bad, without his dad he can't compete' Now he starts with HMS and wins you are once again blaming his success on someone other than him. So according to all of you Jr is not responsible for his winning and doing well, that is always someone else, but when he has obviously bad equipment (see 5 DNFs) then it all comes back to him? Is it that hard to say he may just be one of the greats, no matter who his father was?

Answer 1

Because he hasn't exhibited greatness. 17 cup wins in all these years is just not Great. Not bad but not great. As much as I dislike Jimmie to compare drivers, Jimmie had 10 wins LAST YEAR to JR's 17 CAREER wins. And if Jeff and Jimmie weren't holding Tony up for him Toyota would have gotten a cup win and everyone would be talking about how JR didn't win..

Answer 2

Wrong forum, but I agree that he is a good driver.

Answer 3

Appears the word "driver" put your question into the golf section.  I admit it he's great.

Answer 4

When did he start Golfing ?

Answer 5

He is nothing compared to SR. You asked this in golf. Why??

Anyway people liked Dale sr, and dale jr is an ego with a name. He gives no respect or credit to other drivers, so I'm with the group that doesn't give him any either. He is not a great. Gordon is a great. Jarrett is a great. Dale jr is a name. Sorry man. But you have to blame yourself before others. That is how respect is given.

Answer 6

Wrong forum, but Jr. is definitely a great driver. Much better than Sr. in my opinion. Jr. doesn't have to knock you out of the way to pass you.

Answer 7

Now that he is with Hendrick motors he will do much better.

they have always had an open closet door policy.

Answer 8

He is the best, but he needs the right team
