anybody who wins back to back championships in the nationwide series is cup bound, i dont care who's son you are. jr is a straight up,tell it like it is guy and one of the last southern boys in the sport and if he said it wasnt on purpose i believe him. alot of people dont like him because he is dale sr boy and he takes away the attention from other drivers. thats not his fault. my point is the rain was coming and everybody was acting like it was the last lap(heck its the daytona 500), you get no breaks. it was a tense situation that ended up with vickers gettin spun only after the hit jr first and ran him off the track. blocking is one thing,but running somebody off the track is different.
This has to be both my favorite, and yet saddest comments that come of out JRnations's members mouths.
"he tells it like it is"
Im sorry, I've never heard so many "umms, uhhs, and umms, ya know's, I dunno's" when anyone else "tells it like it is........... Thats a reach right there, an no one with an IQ higer than the teens is buying it
"he's one of the last southern boys in the sport" ? Heh?
You either need an Atlas, a compass, a history lesson or a reality check (Im guessing the latter). LOTS of drivers come from "The South" as if that was somehow a guage of their potential. Only a JR fan could come up with such a concept, or the unbelievably unimportant self found statistics (cause not even Nascar would keep track of such things like "he led the Hendrick cars early in the year) they bring up when trying to promote their reasons for being almost in love with such an average driver.
But hey, you wanna hitch your wagon to that fading star? Go right on ahead, but just so you know, the thud is gonna hurt, and it ain't far away!
