Why should you care? By your screen name, you are no longer a fan. Why is that? True diehard Nascar fans stick with thier drivers no matter what. Through thick and thin. They don't go switching drivers just cause thiers is not doing well.

Honestly, he's going to have to be careful about what he says. Saying that he's finally getting the same thing that Jimmie and Jeff have is implying he's been screwed by Hendrick. How long is Hendrick going to put up with that?

even Mark Martin was pissed and refused to talk to the media after he ran out of gas last week. but Jr would talk to them and say "boy that was real cool and we'll get them next week".what i'm trying to say it's alright to get pissed about something every now and then but not everytime.that tells me he don't care if he wins or finishes 30th

Sorry, but I would MUCH rather see a driver be passionate about not winning then one who doesn't seem to care as long as he's got a big bank account. Nice guys finish last and Jr is a good example. Who's been more fun to watch this year...Kyle charging from the back and going to the front or JR. speeding to the back and staying there? Jr. thought all his troubles were over when he left Teresa and DEI. No, he took his troubles and weaknesses with him.

What interviews are you watching?? I've seen him say he 'loves to race because it IS fun', not that he only 'does it for fun'. He's also said he feels lucky to get to do something he loves. I don't get that impression at all, and Jr has not shown any real emotion in his interviews since he was fined for saying a 4 letter word during an interview, one in which he was celebrating, not badmouthing the sport or another driver. It's not that he doesn't care. Oh sure, there's been a few times he's been knocked off the track by someone else's carelessness when I've wanted to see him 'go off' on the person too but he doesn't. It's called class. Everybody has their favorite driver(s) and if he's not yours....there's other forums is all I'm saying. Every thread that gets started on here always ends up the same regardless of the topic....it always ends up being the haters against the fans. what a shame.

<quoted text>Honestly, I don't think those were his exact words.. However, I do think what he did say, was he is Finally using their setup.. As I am sure you realize that just because one is from the same team doesn't mean they set their cars up the same. Each driver likes a different driving style, so therefore the setup will differ. I think that is what Jr. was saying.. He has had great equipment at HMS. and we all know that.

From what I understand Jr was using cars with different setups then the others and then he and Tony Jr were implementing ones he used at DEI. I guess they finally realized the two didn't mesh.
I agree, I don't think Jr was saying he had bad equipment.
Didn't Jimmie or Jeff even say recently that they decided to use the other's setups? So it wasn't just Jr making comments.
