harvey lee Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 He is just like a diamond in the ruff, he just needs a little grooming and he will be the most popular and a champ. He has to be popular with all the ink he gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMITOUT Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Envious of what? Being a fan of a driver(s) that nobody likes? That's laughable!! I'd root for the good guy regardless if they've won a cup or not. Just because he hasn't won a cup doesn't mean I'm going to switch drivers. I'm not a bandwagon Hendrick fan.I wonder what it's like to be one of the most hated drivers on the circuit? Oh nevermind....they are so far separated from the fanbase with their huge egos that they really don't care.It's nice to see the lack of press that Uni got for the championship. Goes to show how popular of a win it was. Reminds me of the year Kurt Busch won.....yawn. I'm sure NASCAR is happy about it also. A cheater that wins the championship and one that isn't very well liked at that. That should improve ratings. lol. Now Toyota's coming into the sport and a IROC style car on the horizon. Nothing but big things for NASCAR!! not. They've enjoyed their peak and now they have taken the sport for granted and it's going to come back to bite them. They better make their cash now because it'll be F1, Cart, Indy, or whatever it is, sooner than they think with teams splitting off and creating their own league. I really can see that happening if enough big money gets together and decide they are tired of the NASCAR cash cow turning the sport into a circus.

He's certainly not talking about the biggest cheater in the history of Nascar, you remember the guy who use to make up 3 or 4 laps with like 10 to go, I do give DEI and NASCAR credit for not making it quite so obvious these days. ....ROTFLMAO......

JohnMickish Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 And the 8 car has been caught cheating too, so since they have been a cheater and not won the cup does that make them a lesser team? Yep.Winning a championship and the most popular driver. Hmmm, seems to me that that has been done already. For those that don't know his name is Bill Elliot (yes, the MWR/Red Bull/Toyota connected money hungry schlub). He won the most popular driver award (AKA miss congeniality) something like 16 times in a row and had to remove himself from the running for Jr. to win his first, so don't act like this is some kind of major award.

harvey lee Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I dont believe I stated it was a major award,just saying he will probably will win them both one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMITOUT Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Has any member of the #8 team been suspended for cheating or had a car impounded? Please refresh my memory. From what I read it's the Jr. haters that are trying to call it a major award and start comparing it to Cups. Same ol story..... yawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMickish Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 See now you add the suspended part. That wasn't in the first statement. Now the 8 DEI car has had parts confiscated, but then again just about everybody has.I do agree with you Limit, that NASCAR is not going to have a big year next year and they probably have shot their collective load and the ride is over.

outdoor ran Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Just remember the better racer you are and the more cups you win the more people dislike you. Think about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMITOUT Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hmmmm. And I thought Petty and Earnhardt Sr. were popular, but according to that logic they aren't??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outdoor ran Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Sr. never won the most popular driver award untill he was gone. Because he was winning races and cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outdoor ran Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Petty won the most popular award and the cups. After all he is the king. I never really liked Sr. but respected him. Man could he drive a car. Was asad day when nascar lost him. Them are huge shoes for jr to fill. Jr does need to take the next step.

LMITOUT Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Nah, never voted once. There are enough in the Earnhardt Nation that only a 1/4 of them would have to vote and he's still beat Team Sideburns by a million votes. BTW, nice way to weasel out of your original logic which made absolutely no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey lee Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 The problem we have here is that all the Jr haters want to hold him to Sr's wins and record. Jr will do well at his own pace and it will happen when it happens. There are many teams in Nascar that wish they were as good as Jr and his team. Lets see, he did finish in the top five didnt he??? Many more behind and he will get to the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyepatrol Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Ahhhh....another Jr, Sr, Gordon, Eyebrow, Sideburn debate. I think I'll just kick back, read, and enjoy the show on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 That would be your best bet as this debate never ends. That is what I also should do. Give me a call this winter whenever you have time Eric and we can talk about your bow hunting needs for next year. Maybe we can hook up a couple times ice fishing this winter and talk and catch huge fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyepatrol Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I became an FM member nearly 2 years ago now.....the debate was hot then and is still going strong! It just begs to question....will it ever end!?!?!? Answer - NOPE! I'd love to hook up sometime Tom! That'd be a fun day. As for the bow hunting...needs to sit on the back burner this year. Gotta improve my health a bit and get some workout equip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
