Why Does Junior Suck?

There's no way around it. Dale Earnhardt, Jr. sucks. He is a popular driver. He wants to win. But he loses, and everyone can see the frustration. That leaves one thing to change--the crew chief.

Tony Eury, Jr. will not last this season with the number 88. He will get fired, and a new guy will come in to shake it up. (Ray Evernham needs a job.) But if Dale fails to deliver, he will be declared the next Kyle Petty, a moderately talented driver with a name he can't live up to. It is kinda sad.

Meanwhile, Kyle Busch is tearing shit up. A friend of mine tells me Busch and his crew chief are cheating and haven't been caught yet. It does seem odd that he wins so much, but he wins across all three series. My personal belief is that he is going to be the greatest driver in NASCAR history. He is hitting his stride and will be dominant for a long time to come. Busch is what Earnhardt wishes he could be.

I am a Kyle Busch fan though I haven't been that vocal about it. It wasn't that long ago I was shitting on the guy, but he has grown on me. He wins and speaks his mind. There is a lot of talent and heart there.
