I can tell by your sarcastic tone that you're a 'Smoking' Joe Nemachek fan.  Snicker, Snicker.

I agree with jeremy. He rides coatails at this point. He isnt a 1/4 what senior was. Jr had pretty much everything gave to him. Senior had to work for it

You have to agree prior to his father's death and the fiery crash in the corvette series, Jr. was his own man on the race track.  Both incidents I believe placed a mental strain upon him that he seems to be overcoming this year.  With 17 races completed this year, 13 of those top tens and 7 top fives, he's definitely not riding coat tails. 

But I'm not here to change your mind, just like his father you either love him or hate him.  Ironically I hated his father (I was a Rusty fan), but have come to enjoy Jr's candor and interview prowess.

Sorry i like tony stewert and kyle bush. But really dont care for nascar anymore rather watch dirt races. Both kyle and tony, more so tony can hop in a dirt car and do good. Heck tony usually is a good driver in anything he gets in. He does have his moments tho.
