The King of Nascar

whatever helps you sleep better tonight superacademico

Who writes this crap, Rick Hendrick is NOT the king of NASCAR,, not even a prince if you ask me. Theres only one king. Jr. is not the ego he needs to worry about, its Jimmy that will be the problem this year not wanting to take a backseat to jr.

Who writes this crap. Rick Hendrick is NOT the king of NASCAR, and there are more than 43 teams. I agree with racenut, Jr. has no ego problem. The one he needs to watch with the ego problem is Jimmy.

I linked to this article from Yahoo's homepage. The headline there said, "King of NASCAR tries to handle Junior's ego." The subtitle on this article is "Rick Hendrick is the force behind racing's biggest stars. But can he handle Dale Earnhardt Jr.?" Then the article basically goes on with a brief bio of Rick Hendrick. It only mentions Junior twice. I'd like to know exactly what ego Junior has. He's been nothing but accomodating toward his new team owner. So I know you're supposed to draw in the reader with an eye-catching headline, but next time try to write the article your headline implies. Just another generic article written by someone who doesn't know the subject they're writing about.

Daniel McGinn is obviously not a NASCAR follower or fan. Richard Petty is the King of NASCAR.

I agree 100% with all of ya'll. Wasn't it Jeff Gordon who pushed Matt Kenesth a couple of seasons ago? Doesn't Jimmie Johnson moan & groan about everything that does not go the "Jimmie" way? Kyle Busch is a child who when he doesn't get his way runs over everybody in sight. I've heard that Kyle Busch has his own seat in the NASCAR trouble make hauler. Okay, yes you have to admit that Jr has let a couple of words slip every know and then, but anyone who has direct tv and gets the NASCAR track pass knows that even the "Dad" of the track, Kyle Petty, lets one slip every once and a while. Get off of Jr's back and let him get down to business!

sounds like to me a bunch of 20 whiners

Ok, let me ask you a question. What does Dale Jr. do if he accidentally causes a crash? Answer: He owns up to it and apologizes. He has done it several times. I bet this writer was paid off by Teresa Earnhardt. Sorry Dale but that is what I think. If you ever have watched Dale race and deal with interviews, Daniel, then you will see what type of person he is. He doesn't race to cause trouble, he races to have fun and win. Daniel, I would appreciate it if you get your facts strait before you print your artical. GO DALE JR!!!! YOUR DADDY IS PROUD OF YOU!!!!!

hello first the king of nascar is petty . i like dale jr . he has his own racing style and he needed a change . he will ok.where ever he goes.

teresa royally screwed up letting jr go, now that he is with a proven winning team and a owner that knows how to operate a company. now we will see just how good june bug really is. rick isnt a tight ass like she was, plus he has alot more frigging business sense. every time he passes that eight car this year, i hope he gives it the finger!!!!! give em hell june bug!!!!!!

I understand why the Headline making it sound like Junior has an ego problem. You wanted to make sure people clicked on this article. Ok, I'll give you that one, but in the last paragraph to say Junior is profane and somehow out of control, that's BS and everyone knows it.

Junior has handled being always compared to his Father better than 99% of all the people in NASCAR. Does he let a swear word slip every now and then, sure, I do too. All I got to say now is.... Junior, don't pay attention to the crap, just win baby, win!

I think Jr will be fine.You don't have to be polished to be a winner!a diamond stars out a lil ruff too.I'm glad he's confident .GO DALE JR

The writer of this "article" better do better research in the future if they plan on writing about NASCAR again. The writer obviously knows NOTHING about Dale Earnhardt Jr. when he is described as profane and rebelious, Funny how nothing is mentioned about Dale Jr. being one of the most respected drivers in the garage, and a VERY successful car owner.. Newsweek needs to stick with money and politics.

DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's stupid- "profane and rebellious"? Come on, who's the driver who's gotten into a few scuffles over the past two years? Jeff Gordon. Who's the driver who throws a fit and blames his wreck on somebody else? Jimmie Johnson. Then you have Kyle Busch who had on track incidents last season. And Junior's the one who is profane and rebellious? That doesn't even make sense. Junior told fans not to throw on the speedway and never throws a fit and takes responsibilty for a wreck he caused. If he was so profane and rebellious, then why did the fans vote him Most Popular Driver for the 5th year in a row? Fans do not like whiny babies like Jimmie Johnson , Kyle Busch, and Jeff Gordon. Junior is a respectable guy who is laidback and down to earth. He is not profane or rebellious. So before you write another stupid article about Junior and NASCAR, go attend a race and talk to the drivers. Then maybe you'll get the facts straight.

I can't believe you would write something like this. Those who actually know the sport knows that Dale Earnhardt Jr is one of the most respectable drivers out there because he doesn't have an attitude like everyone else! Maybe you should research more before writing on a topic that you're not too educated about.
