o-v-e-r-r-a-t-e-d, might as well call him Kyle, his name is the only thing keeping him in the seat.
that's why I hate the restrictor plate the drivers are constantly blocking and cutting each other off, that's the only way to stay ahead of someone.

But to applaud JR for getting frustrated and taking out 1/4 of the field is interesting to say the least. Do you have any idea how many times he blocked a car from passing him on Sunday? try every lap, he wasn't punted as a result.

the race wasn't that bad except for that 1 block. then again JR. should have known better. There was literally no room to pass without going below the line.

Jr.'s story is really quite a sad one. He loses his Dad, gains all his fans, and the guy just can't drive. Maybe if they throw a few more gas mileage races in for him, he can add 1 or 2 more wins in his career, but thats about it. Sad.............

Inarguably the most overrated driver in my 20yrs keeping up with NASCAR. One or two more mediocre seasons with Hendrick should get it to sink in with his fan base. Driving for Childress won't help, resurrecting the # 3 black scheme & sponsor won't help either.
I was never a Sr. fan but the man was a threat to win week in & week out, that's why he has 7 titles.

I was a Sr. fan since I was 9. That's why I don't like Jr.

Really, he's not that good. Ever since his tragic debacle at Infinion in the Corvette, he's just not a good race car driver, I decided.

So kyle busch and Vickers wouldnt have done the same thing. does Richmond 08 ring bell? you know when kyle busch wrecked Jr no one seemed to care then how about when vickers wrecked johnson and Jr at the same time at Talladega. But i guess if its Dale jr people give a crap.

Richmond if not mistaken they were both fighting for the lead. Kyle was NOT a lap down. It was Jr's stupidity that got him where he was in the first place. How do you miss your pit box?? TWICE?? OMG! I think NASCAR should maybe widen his?? Mark my words, Jr nation (wide series, where he belongs) will disolve. Its starting to sink into alot of heads that he's WAY over-rated. He can't carry Daddys name much longer. what a pity

No it's actually true. JR. kicked butt like the 1st half of the season when he joined Team Hendrick. But he's back to his old ways. I like JR. but he ain't as good as he used to be.

Have you ever been in a race and coming down pit lane looking for your pit? It's amazing these guys find the right pit box at all !!!
