did anyone watching the race last night notice that Jr was the only one on the track? Is Jr the only driver with any "heart"

Is Jr the only driver that's "driving his guts out"

Is Jr the only driver *enter some crap here*???


Come on. There are 25 other drivers on the track that have put as much, if not more effort into the season. Jr was doomed not to make the chase again. Subpar equipment (I'm sure it's thanks to Teresa, right?), blown engines, other peoples mistakes, mental mistakes, penalties... the excuses go on and on.

Did Jr really want to make the chase? He only had what, 130ish points to overcome in a few races. Jimmie had to overcome 250 or more points last season in the chase to win the cup... he did it

Just watching the race last night pissed me off. All the focus on Jr, none on the better racers that were actually winning. Granted, in the last 50 laps, the battle between Jr and Gordon was pretty exciting. Jimmie had already run away from them by then

Here's to the first repeat Cup Champion since 98

JR is all done, finished 13th and his days of making the chase are over. I wouldn't expect anything from him the rest of the year. He's just going to ride out his remaining days with DEI.

ESPN is a bunch of homers. Dale Jr. is the USC of NASCAR.

think so? I almost seeing him going on a rampage like Tony did last year. But then again, he'll be driving Paul Menards crap the rest of the season, which pales in comparison to what Stewie had last year during hte chase.

glad I'm not the only one to notice. Then again, at least USC had ONE title



Speaking of DEI and Jr et al, there's more talk about Jr not making then chase then about the other Jr making it. Where's the props for this guy? Obviously, you can't say DEI isn't all bad. I'm sure people will say it's all the evil step mothers doing, keeping Jr out and letting Truex Jr in

NASCAR is fan dominated sport. Jr is the fan favorite. ESPN catered to the majority. Deal with it.

U.M.

P.S. ...and it was a conspiracy by DEI (read Teresa) to punish Dale for leaving by furnishing him with sub-par equipment.
