What's your favorite ignoring of facts regarding Jr.?

My favorite has always been the Chase expanding to 12 drivers in 2007 to accommodate Jr. When in fact Jr not only made the Chase in 2006, but finished 5th.

Update:

Denny Hamlin drools, in 5 years when Denny catches up to Jr in wins talk.

    All of them really. There is so much stupidity that I've heard in here that I can't even begin to remember a small percentage of it. In general though i would say the fact that some people think he's only in nascar because of his daddy. How do they just ignore that he won 2 busch titles in a row? He didn't break into cup right away and SR tempered him similar to what Rusty is doing with Steve now. Anyway, he did the best he could do with the opportunity that he got and noone drove the car for him. When he got into Cup he ran well and won races really soon there after so they don't have any arguments really, its just a bunch of bull. Nearly every driver in Cup is born with the so-called "silver spoon", meaning they are all brought up around racing. Just because DAle Sr was Jr's dad and he provided opportunity for Jr to race, its no different then the Busch brothers having legend cars and late models from they time they were 12 years old. When you look at who is more of a man from their experience, I would say that you have to look at Dale Jr, then Kurt Busch and Kyle is way behind the two of them. He won't ever catch up and he's just the spoiled brat little brother that crys whenever he doesn't get his way. Kyle Busch will be back to racing late models at Irwindale in 10 years because he burned all the bridges in the world. Probably not really, but I would love to see how that kid could handle the ups and downs that Dale Jr has had to go through.

    First rookie ever to win All-Star race, 18 wins is among the most of active drivers, He is one of the only guys to win 2 straight Busch championships, he has 18 restrictor plate wins among the top 2 series including Duels and Bud Shootouts, his 5 Cup Talladega wins are 3rd most all time, he his first race in only his 12th start, he finished 16th in his first ever Cup start, He has 4 straight wins at Talladega, he won a caution free race in 2002 at 'Dega, something alot of guys now never would be able to do, 22 Busch wins is in the top 10 all time and he only ran full time in 1998 and 1999. Has Kyle Busch accomplished all this? NO

    i apologize for somewhat addressing your question with another question. however, why do people mention his busch championships and busch wins to solidify opinions about jr? when kyle busch won the championship last year all i saw is that it was 'the minor leagues' and he shouldn't be driving it. now, i recognize that earnhardt won his championships before being in cup full time but a win is a win and a championship is a championship. ...martin truex jr also won two busch series championships and he is more of a 'where are they now' kind of trivia question. so are victories in the busch/nation series and championships worth mentioning on a driver's resume?

    Anymore it's getting to the place where anything that's said is someone ignoring the facts. Everyone seems to forget the statistics that speak for themselves and they try to find a way to twist them around to bash Junior. Junior isn't the only driver who has a famous father, but people like to overlook that too. I'm to the point where I just ignore the ignorance and laugh. The questions or answers don't even deserve an answer. I am a Junior fan and proud of it.

    I find that sports bring out the utter irrationalessness of many people. When you love or hate a team or driver, it tends to cloud the judgement of many. People have quickly forgotten how successful a career Jr has had. He's won a bunch of races and contended for championships. But there were many haters out there and they have jumped on the opportunity to bash him during his recent struggles.

    My Favorite ignoring the facts is That he's not a winner or never win's......

    --He's ranked 10th out of 56 current/active Cup drivers based on factual wins. Not Popularity. He has 18 Cup wins.

    --He's won all of the best races that don't count. Like the All-Star race, Bud Shootout, 125's etc. He's won all of them.

    --He has 2 Nationwide(Busch) Championships and those were the only 2 year's he competed full time. He has 22 Nationwide wins.

    The Bible has a historic previous written down by utilising many human beings residing in a definite term. Who became into the 1st to jot down down evolution? Wasn't he (scientists did no longer enable women individuals, so it had to be HE. having pronounced that, minorities and the undesirable could no longer even get into the sector while evolution became into being "stumbled on." perhaps they could have "stumbled on" different issues to boot...) How do all of us be attentive to those scientists are not making up the reality that we progressed from monkeys (LOL) or that the international exploded from nothingness with a huge bang (um...explosions often harm issues. they do no longer often create flowers, animal life, oxygen, human beings, rocks, and so on.) And what with regard to the lacking link that supposedly connects us to those previous mysterious "apes" who're our foreparents? The coaching of evolution isn't actuality. it quite is referred to as "the theory of Evolution". That being pronounced, i've got self assurance various the flaws that scientists let us know. yet scientists thoroughly brush aside all religions. Can they say who began religions, and why each custom has them? Has all and sundry defined that? Has all and sundry come decrease back from the ineffective telling what happens to the soul after he or she passes on? Or are you all like sheep, disbelieving something that the two a million. you do no longer understand 2. something you that scares you i could be scared too...God isn't mocked. it quite is going to likely be the hellfire for you son.

    I wish I could finds stats on how many engines, or other drive train parts Jr has destroyed because he over revs, or is too hard on them, or forgets to clutch, or go neutral, when hes going backwards down the strait. Seems like every season hes got at least two blown engines, and one or two drive shafts or rear-ends.

    Okay Okay, he has won a few, and lost a few. He is not the worst driver in NASCAR by any means (mikey watlrip), but he seems to be rough on equipment.
