Why is everyone ragging on Junior when he admittedly just had a bad day?

its Jr. so everyones gonna make a big deal about it. i agree with you, before the crash he was doing some of the best driving i have seen from him in a while. vickers could of just blocked instead of knockin him over the line( i wouldnt expect him to just let jr pass) and jr could of let off the throttle(even though that would of cost him a lot of seconds and maybe cause another crash). all i saw was a race at daytona...its NASCAR..crashes happen but the matter of the fact is, Jr. caused the big one at the biggest race and a lot of angry drivers and fans want something to gripe about. I say we all get over it and get ready for the race in Cali!

One could say that Elliott, but it also has to be considered the weather in the area was calling for rain, so it was completley unknown whether the race was gonna end in 10 laps, or 30, or anywhere inbetween. It was essentially the last lap for the last 50 laps of the race.

Gibbs, the whole Carl deal back at Michigan was a racing incident as well. Junior had a right to be angry at Carl after the race when Carl damn near took Juniors arm off with his car.

That being said, yeah, I agree Junior had nothing more than a bad day. Had this been any other driver, the scrutiny wouldn't of been as bad. Since this was Jr., that was a different story.

And I agree still with the Vickers deal. Yeah, Vickers should of let him pass, but as I said, considering the circumstances, they were essentially running the last laps the last 50 laps of the race, and the incident was more bang bang than Leffler and Wallaces going out over several seconds. The way Junior did it, if it was intentional, it didnt look absolutley intentional. The way Leffler did it, it was obvious he was looking for blood.

My only ragging is about his fans who thought he had the right to force the issue with Vickers at that stage of the race. He could have passed Vickers later and not wrecked some of the cars they did. Both of them were a lap down and acted like they were racing for the lead. He made a bad choice and paid for it as did other teams that had nothing to do with either of those drivers.

Because he made some mistakes and he was just impatient, but for no real reason considering he was 1 lap down. Just one of those days I guess. Everybody puts all these high expectations on him and he feels pressure to live up to them, but he can't because he's not as talented as everybody thinks he is, the stats prove it. It's all because of his name, if he didn't have the last name Earnhardt, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

BTW, I'm not a Jr. Fan or Jr. Hater, just calling it like I see it.

Lets go KASEY KAHNE #9

i would have to say from some of the past races he had blamed someone else for the accidents that he as in and not realize that he may have cause the problem his self. like one time he hit carl and carl came back and done it to jr. jr got all mad at him for hitting him back. so i think that jr thinks that it's okay for him to go off and do those things but no one else could do it or get back at him

Its the nature of the beast. Look at Edwards getting raked over the coals from everyone at Talladega after Harvick opened his mouth.

I'm willing to bet after the next Dega race, we'll all be swarming over the next guy who causes a problem.

I just see it as payback for Talladega(Fall 2006) when Brian Vickers(being the idiot with no talent that he is) wrecked Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt,Jr. on the last turn of the last lap and stole the victory.What goes around comes around.

The Nation is in a frenzy and looking for someone to blame. Jr. Nation is about to collapse.

because a lot of ignorant people have nothing better to do...............

I am a big Jr. fan and I know he was dumb and dumber on Sunday but some people feel good about themselves bashing others.

sounds like Jr. was ragging on everyone else but himself to me
