    One of the most humble. Jr is gifted in that, he’s handled success and enormous loss with such grace and great charm. He never seems agitated at the relentless questions about his father. He’s truly the nicest kid in the neighborhood. Kudos, Jr. God has truly blessed you!

    The reason so many people love Dale Jr. was and still is very simple. He is as real as they come. That is exactly why I was one of his fans. I never saw an interview when Jr. was racing in which I thought he was bull shitting us. Over at his channel, my favorite portion of the Dale Jr. download is the Ask Junior segment. His series on Lost Speedways is right up his alley because, not only was Jr. a driver, but he is probably one of the biggest historians of the sport too.

      I full heartedly agree. I was not a fan of Jr. or Sr. but I was 11 when Dale died and I cried like a baby. I knew how much the sport was going to be affected. I had animosity towards Jr afterwards cause I felt like everyone was expecting him to fill his father’s shoes. I’m glad to see that many years later he has definitely become his own man. I can now proudly say I am a huge fan of Dale Sr and Jr!

      For a while now, rumor has him bringing at least 1 of his Xfinity team drivers up to the Cup level, with the blessing and infrastructural assistance of Hendrick Motorsports’ and all their resources...
      But the Charter system has to be in place for him to be able to be quasi-successful as a Team Owner. Unfortunately, the going rate of a NASCAR Team Charter is escalating to an untenable amount of money. Right now, the going rate is between $15-18 MILLION DOLLARS...
      an insane amount of money to have to fork over just to be able to compete w/ the big dogs...

      they need him in the booth more than anything. like others have said his personality allows the viewers to connect with him more, he isn't perfect and he doesn't try to be something he isn't during the broadcast. same goes with Fox when they picked up Bowyer, those two filled a hole that the broadcasts have been missing for a long time.
      as a team owner he's still able to get his opinion across on the NASCAR side anyways.
      ​ @Two Black Labs one day maybe, i'd bet Kelly is likely going to wait it out a couple years and see where things go with the new car before expanding the team into cup.

      @@mcr2124 no way. I’m from New York. Probably 9.7/10 people here would have never heard of Kyle Busch or recognize him. Same for any other driver. But 9.9/10 would know the names, petty, Gordon and Earnhardt. Jimmie Johnson too but not instantly like the others because he shares a name with a football legend. You’d have to specify driver for them to know who you’re talking about. But the first three, all you have to say is the last name and 99% of people instantly know who they are.
      I never even realized this but the OP is right and it is crazy and very sad. There legitimately isn’t one active driver who is anywhere close to a household name. Some regions of the country maybe, but the country or world as a whole? Nope, no one comes close.

    • @NizRacingNY
      @NizRacingNY 3 года назад +2

      He’s first ballot because of his popularity though as much as I hate to say it. He had a lot more struggles in his career than success. He had as much talent as anyone has ever had in a stock car but was never able to translate it into performance consistently. He was elite and part of the cream of the crop at the end of what I consider NASCARSs Golden Age which I personally feel started in the mid 90s and ended at the end of the 05 Daytona 500. From about 01-06 he was right up there with an elite group of all time greats (Gordon, Stewart, Johnson etc) who were in a league of their own among a field of tons of great drivers. But after that short period he constantly struggled to get the results that the equipment he had under him should have been getting. I firmly believe if Sr didn’t die he would’ve won multiple championships and be in the discussion of greatest ever. When he died, everything changed. A new team that was having success and clearly on its way to being one of the top powerhouses in the sport for years to come was ran into the ground by the monster step mom and Jrs performance quickly started to fade once the foundations and key pieces of the organization started to crumble away due to her incompetence, stubbornness, and most of all greed. Not to mention he lost the man who likely would have disciplined him to stay focused, considering he was not only his father but his boss. I also think his head injuries cost him a lot of success late in his career with Hendrick. After being at Hendrick for a few years he started showing a professional maturity that we hadn’t seen before in him. He seemed to have grown up a lot by then, learned a lot, and was now with the right team, the right equipment, the right people on and off the track, and the right frame of mind to perform at his absolute best, and he knew it. Unfortunately this is also when he started getting the concussions that ultimately ended his career. Obviously there is no way of knowing what could have been but it is my personal belief that had Sr lived, Jr would be a multi-time champ for DEI (which would be neck and neck with Hendrick year in and year out as the two most dominant teams in the garage) and one of the best ever period; or if the concussions hadn’t happened he would have strongly contended for multiple championships with Hendrick, probably winning at least one.
