dale jr winning a race....dont see that very often...

[jrfan07]

@byrnz35 nah just 41 combined points wins, plus the all star race and a shitload of duels/shootouts. We don't see it as often as we used to but hey, he's only 38. His father won 6 of his 7 championships after the age of 36, lot's of time yet.

Fucking Teresa Earnhardt won't let Jr. drive the 3 car in sprint cup cause why? Cause she's a bitch! Earnhardt Jr. needs to drive the 3. I'll bet he'll do better in the sprint cup series if he did.

[jrfan07]

@spartanxxx17 First of all Dale Jr doesn't want to drive the 3, he feels it's not his to use, he and his fans are happy with his current #88. Dale even said after he won the Daytona Nationwide race with the Wrangler #3 that he's done with the number. Secondly, Teresa Earnhardt does not own the #3, Richard Childress does, and it's his to do whatever he feels like with it, were already seeing Austin Dillon use it in the truck series. Lastly, a number has nothing to do with how well a driver runs.

@jrfan07 That's true, however, he has seen to do well in the races that he raced the 3. Not every race, but a lot of them. I do remember that race at daytona where he won with his dad's wrangler car, he and childress said it was over for the 3. I wish he would drive it though. It would be nice to see it come back, could you at least agree with that?

[jrfan07]

@spartanxxx17 i agree, it would be nice :)

only if jr could show his talent he had at road courses again

[shocker0]

@jrfan07 Jr will win all of his Sprint Cup championships after age 38, unfortunately that's gonna be 0 more than he has now.

[byrnz35]

@hendrick148 oh come on. that phrase has been why overused. try something else.

[hendrick148]

@byrnz35 go fuck ur self

[byrnz35]

@jrfan07 haha, i was just kidding. the man has had the worst luck driving for the best team and still struggling. he has shown flashes of brilliance since all this crap started in like 2005.

[nascarfanatic2425]

@Iobjectyourreality He probably should've taken it, considering 2007-2008 were pretty hot years for RCR.

i find it funny that ron fellows drives for Jr Motorsports for the road courses now

[Iobjectyourreality]

@spartanxxx17 in 2007, Richard Childress offered Jr. a deal in which he would drive the 3 car. However, he did not accept

[PhilipTheBigOne]

@rogerpenskefan12: He basically gave up on road courses after his ALMS crash at Infineon in '04.
