Why didn't Dale Jr have someone to read the rule book to him before the race?

Question

I know he doesn't know how but why didn't he have someone who could read to read him the rules and let him know you can't pass on the very start of the race? This guy is over88ted

Answer 1

What a joke that was, I'd expect that from a rookie or a part time driver, not a high paid veteran.  He owes it to Hendrick, his sponsors, and his team to not make a simple, costly mistake like that one.

Answer 2

Did you here how upset he was on the radio to his pit? I'm beginning to think he really doesn't have  a clue.

Answer 3

let's see you get out there with the adreline kick in and see what you can do. Heck you probably can't even get out there at that speed

Answer 4

I can't deny it, my boy Junior just "screwed the pooch" at the start of the race. I can't say I'd have done any better. But I was surprised.

Answer 5

you should have loaned him your's

you bound to have one to that big  

Answer 6

I honestly don't know where his brain is sometimes.  The same stuff that ruined his championship chances of years gone past.  

Answer 7

He knew better, he just thought he could get away with it.  He's getting desperate because his team can't figure out what to do anymore.  They keep making stupid calls in the pits, which has been s******g up their finishes, he's dropping in points, and he's desperate.  Stupid move!  This is the same c**p he was doing years ago and that's why he hasn't won a championship.  He has no one to blame but himself b/c it was a stupid thing to do and he knows better.

All this coming from one of his fans.  But all I can do is be honest.  I'm a loyal fan and I'm not afraid to say when he or his team do stupid c**p.  

Answer 8

Y U B hating on dale he roks and hes my fave driver

ps i DO NOT LIKE KYLE BUSCH 4 SPINING HIM OUT THAT ONE RACE CANT REMEMBER WHICH 1

Answer 9

My guess is he expected NASCAR to overlook his infraction.  Typical little boy excuse.  "Do you know who my dad was"?

Answer 10

i know right

even i knew that and im just a kid

Answer 11

I think he knew the rules, he just wanted to see if he could get away

with it because of who he is.

Answer 12

Hard to tell,  His spotter should have told him BEFORE the start of the race that he CAN NOT pass anyone 'tll he PASSES the START/FINNISH line.

Answer 13

As far as the teams are concerned, there are no rules in NASCAR. Only suggestions. How would you feel if you were a Japanese Toyota executive who had been trying to get your highly-respected name into NASCAR for years in order to promote your line of cars and trucks only to have cheating redneck Americans get caught cheating with your name on the cars? It is at least partially the manufacturer's fault for continuing to support a racing series that is openly racist and misogynistic, and cannot run a race without the shadow of doubt hanging over the race teams because they are continually under suspicion for cheating? The apple does not fall far from the tree. If Dale Jr's dad wasn't a cheating unsportsmanlike s*****k, he would not have "won" as many races as he did. If Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Toyota, and all the sponsors simply said "we will immediately pull our support from any team caught cheating or engaging in unsportsmanlike conduct and sue the team if they make an attempt to field a car with our logo on it", either all this S**t would stop overnight or we would be watching nothing but Hyundias and Kias.  

Answer 14

He is just used to everybody letting him have his way because he has earnhardt as a last name, oh and his spotter is probaly another one of his inbred cousins who cant read.
