why do they always talk about dale earnhardt jr. on espn?

[face]

serious question, i don't follow nascar. i don't get it, doesn't seem like he wins much or is all that great, not like jimmy johnson.

[MendozaLine]

Nascar belongs on the Ocho. Along with billiards, poker, bowling, and spelling bees.

[Cranium]

Infatuation with his Old Man, an attempt to bring in the casual fan. Jr. is overrated..

[Optional]

When another driver sells more merchandise, you will hear about them more than Junior.

[face]

ok, thanks. he is the sport's cash cow.

[Ice House]

He is due for a win

[MysteryMung]

i just don't think it'll be today though

[WolverineFan]

He is by far the most popular driver for some ungodly reason and they r gonna talk about what driver is most popular

[cash$bro91]

Don't know, but at least I won my two bets on the Quaker State 400.

[RibbedTrojan]

He will never be like the old man. NEVER!!

[onlooker]

He gained all of his old man's fans. His name sells merchandise, and he is lucky for it. He is a average driver. The move to Hendrick didn't even help.

[MysteryMung]

garbage - 88car -145 h2h vs montoya.

[hawk 5]

Hendrick would have been better off with Kyle.

[avssakic]

Yep I bet HMS is regretting it big time now
