A Tale of Two Juniors

Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Tony Eury, Jr. are a duo that simply suck. This is the only thing left for Dale to do. He has to part ways with his crew chief.

Will things get better for the 88? That is hard to tell, but it can't get worse. But my own personal view on the subject is it is all on Dale, Jr. A driver like Kyle Busch simply wins no matter who the crew chief or the owner is. Busch is what Junior fans want in their driver. Junior sucks. Period.

I've talked to a lot of non-Junior fans, and they all say the same thing. He is a mediocre driver with a famous last name. It is harsh but true. Junior's records put him as a decent but unremarkable talent. His popularity exceeds his performance.

At some point, the Junior Nation needs to bury Dale, Sr. He is dead. He has been dead for quite awhile now, and he is not coming back. What they are doing with Junior is a form of projected necrophilia. They can't let the old man go.

I feel bad for Junior. He is in an unenviable position. He has a huge burden to bear, and I think he will eventually give it up and disappear from the sport.
