I thought Dale Jr.'s temper would get the best of him and he would end up getting a DNF. I was proud of him for not giving up.

Eury Jr. Wins WypAll Wipers Crew Chief of the Race Award: Martinsville Speedway delivered 500 laps of incensed racing excitement in this weekend's DIRECTV 500. Pushing, bumping and shoving were the norm at the half-mile bull ring, leaving the garage littered with numerous torn up vehicles by the event's end. Dale Earnhardt Jr. and crew chief Tony Eury Jr. weren't exempt from the action, as the #8 Budweiser Chevy was involved in two separate incidents on the race track, forcing lengthy pit stops to fix the damage after each episode. Still, with Eury Jr.'s guidance, Earnhardt Jr. was able to climb back and finish inside the top-five. Eury Jr.'s comeback earned him the WypAll Wipers Crew Chief of the Race. Earnhardt Jr. suffered extensive damage to the right side of his Monte Carlo after getting collected in a multi-car accident during the opening stages of the DIRECTV 500. Eury Jr. ordered vast repairs to the #8 Chevy and worked his driver inside the top-10 following the maintenance, but contact wit the #12 car on lap 318 forced another unscheduled stop. Despite the two setbacks, the Earnhardt Jr. and Eury Jr. combination fought to a fourth-place finish. A panel of voters; including Robbie Reiser, Mike Mulhern of the Winston-Salem Journal and a WypAll Wipers representative; unanimously agreed that Eury Jr.'s comeback deserved Crew Chief of the Race accolades. For winning the Crew Chief of the Race award, WypAll Wipers gave Eury Jr. $1,000. At the end of the season, the crew chief with the most weekly wins will receive $20,000 and be crowned the WypAll Wipers Crew Chief of the Year. This was Eury Jr.'s first Crew Chief of the Race award in 2006, which ties him with Darian Grubb, Kenny Francis and Roy McCauley for second-place in the standings. Robbie Reiser is in the lead with two wins.(Wypall PR)(4-5-2006)

Looks to me like the name change has very little to do with anybody selling out. Unless I misread the link, it's just a byproduct of the Sprint/Nextel merger??

read this trash. always stereotping nascar fans.




NASCAR outraged by 'Dateline' racial story approach: NASCAR said it was "outrageous" that "Dateline NBC" targeted one of its race tracks last weekend for a possible segment on anti-Muslim sentiment in the United States. NASCAR said NBC confirmed it was sending Muslim-looking men to a race, along with a camera crew to film fans' reactions. The NBC crew was "apparently on site in Martinsville, Va., walked around and no one bothered them," NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said Wednesday. "It is outrageous that a news organization of NBC's stature would stoop to the level of going out to create news instead of reporting news," Poston said. "Any legitimate journalist in America should be embarrassed by this stunt. The obvious intent by NBC was to evoke reaction, and we are confident our fans won't take the bait," he said. NASCAR is in the final year of a broadcasting agreement with NBC Sports. "'Dateline' is looking into this story," NBC said in a statement. "We were intrigued by the results of a recent Washington Post/ABC News poll and other articles regarding increasing anti-Muslim sentiments in the United States. "It's very early on in our newsgathering process, but be assured we will be visiting a number of locations across the country and are confident that our reporting team is pursuing this story in a fair manner," it said.(ESPN.com/AP)(4-6-2006

One thing I've learned from this site. I've learned to appreciate my driver (JG) more and am starting to dislike Stewart,Earnhardt more. The thing is I use to like Dale Jr.Oh well. :dunno:

I can understand Stewart, he's just a generally unlikable person, but what'd Jr. do? Kick your dog or something? :D

I think you have to be a Dale Jr. fan to understand. I have the right to be proud of my driver when he took a car that was junk from the beginning of the race and finished 4th. I know that you don't like him, but he deserves some credit.

Jr seems like a likable guy, but some of his fans make it difficult.

I'll agree with that. Every driver has unbearable fans, but there doesn't seem to be any here that I've noticed.

I didn't get banned from a Jr. message board for nothin' ya know. :wacko:

The same goes for Jeffy fans. The new Nascar Jeffy fans are only his fans because he has 4 championships. They don't know anything else about him. The older fans think he walks on water and they think that he can win in anything. Both are annoying and obnoxious.

You're right . . . . Dale Jr. fans surely don't have to worry about anything like that. :ninja:

I would rather be a fan of a driver that races to have fun and has a great personality (Dale Jr.) instead of a whiny, nasally voiced, cry-baby, zero personality hack like Jeffy.
