    I never was a fan ... His 10 wins at ss tracks are mostly do to havin the best equipment .... That leave 16 wins on regular tracks ... 16 wins out of 500 plus starts seems poor when he had the Best of the Best .... I do respect Sr for his raise to fame / talent ....

So far 1 for 3. I've been lucky enough to have met Dale Earnhardt Sr. at Indianapolis Motor Speedway & Dale Earnhardt Jr. at Chicagoland Speedway and honestly you could have not found two nicer people in the NASCAR community.
      may be true, problem is NASCAR aint so nice no more....

          Who can tell if he is a good racer or not, there hasn't been much actual racing in NASCAR for a long time.
          I hate time trials.

            Drivers in the final year of their contracts:
            McMurray
            Keselowski
            Kenseth
            Menard
            Larson
            Johnson
            Almirola
            Erik Jones

            With Target leaving Ganassi, I think it'll be Larson. Bowman should get in a JR Motorsports Xfinity car and be ready for the 5 or 48, whichever opens up first.

                ....A good friend of mine lived in the south near earnharts .... He had some good stories .... One story was Sr gave his church 10k to have the parking lot black topped .... The story was if the preacher told the donation was from him .... Hed come back with his dozer and take up the black top himself ... Kinda sounds like something Sr would do ....

                  Jr couldn't be a pimple on his dad's as*. He has won on superspeedway tracks were many one hit wonders have. Superspeedway races are won in the shops before the car ever hits the track. Car is right almost any driver can wheel it to the front. Look at the history of nascrap, superspeedway's winner's list is loaded with nobody's.

                    I foresee Alex Bowman in this ride. Even when he's not in the car he is still promoting Nationwide. After his success he had last year in the car I see no reason not to put him in. He is a great talent without the funding for a full time ride, and has been endlessly loyal to Dale Jr. And Hendrick Motorsports

                        While fans of a particular athlete usually become fans of another generation, there are certain drivers that just cannot be replaced. They are their own person.

                        Dale Jr didn't replace Dale Earnhardt, Kyle Petty couldn't fill Richard Petty's shoes, Billy Jr will never accomplish the accolades of Billy Moyer. While we can compare fathers and sons, its completely unfair to try to hold them to their father's success, or bash them for coming up short as you have.

                          I bash all of nascrap. Today's racing stinks. The car are so aero sensitive anybody can see it. Why not reduce the front splitter or lower the rear spoiler. I'll tell you why. Most of these guys out there today couldn't drive them. Jr has won most popular driver only because of his dad. How many other Earnhardt drivers are out there ?

                                Too bad he doesn't have to give any of that back to his die hard fans who has supported him since day 1. He sure didn't earn it on the track, where it counts!
