I am now officially a Dale Jr. fan. Here's why.

Until recently, I had no favorite driver in nascar. Not since I was a Earnhardt Sr. fan until 2001. After his death, I stopped watching for a while. For some reason I bought into the idea that Dale Jr. was a spoiled overrated driver. Now that I have got back into it over the last couple of years, I see that he is a good guy, and a very good driver. I feel for him the way he has to put up with the comparisons with his father, and the losing streak, which if not for bad luck, and drivers not knowing how to control their car enough to not wreck him when he is leading with 2 or 3 laps to go would be history already.
He runs well everywhere! He runs in the top 5 just about every week, and he will win races this year. He is hated on unfairly for the attention he gets, when he is the most popular driver and he is a threat to win every week. U people have convinced me through your hate, that there is no driver that deserves my support more than Jr. Count me in Jr. nation!
