    Not liking a guy is one thing, propping the guy who spun him to his eventual death is kinda fucked up.

    funny that Jr is ahead of Kurt Busch and Matt Kenseth in the points and nobody really brings that up......they do point out that Gordon is sitting on the outside looking in.

    How does the problems Jr is having have to do with his ability to drive a car?

    Last i heard was he has won a few races , and some by large margins.. I dont see how that makes him a bad driver.

    I'd say he's actually very good for where he is in his career. People hype him because of his name, sure. Up to this year, people had a reason to.

    The problem this year, it seems, is that he's just being pissy because things started out not going the way he wanted. And that's a bullshit reason to just start choking away an entire season.

    good? sure. Greatest thing since sliced bread? nope.

    jr's first 5 years- 15 wins
    kurt busch's 4 years- 11 wins 1- cup title
    matt kenseth 5 years- 8 wins 1-cup
    jeff gordons first 5 years- 29 wins- 2 cups
    tony stewarts first 5 years- 17 wins -1 cup



    time for jr to shit or get off the pot.

    I've never been a big fan of DEI's 'Let's switch crews' strategy. Seems like he had a good relationship with Tony Eury, and now he's got Shane Hmiel's dad as his crew chief. That just can't be good.
