NASCAR’s Dale Earnhardt Jr – Cup Driver or Grocery Clerk?

I came across a somewhat comical Myspace Page about a week ago. While I was Googling ‘Dale Earnhardt Jr’, I was looking for NASCAR articles and updates. Up popped >>> http://tinyurl.com/nohqq8   The page is clean with no popups. It was last updated 5/31/08 by the Myspace Page owner. The interesting thing about this page is the fact that the author seems to be very intuitive; even over a year ago. I will back up a bit. I’m not a Dale Jr fan nor have I ever been. I believe his popularity is unfounded. His talent for racing should be limited to the Soap Box Derby. I find it difficult to admire his abilities as a driver when it’s hard to remember ….. hmmmm… When was his last win? Did he ever win a cup; Winston, Nextel, or otherwise? Riding on the shirttail of his Ol’ Man, (Dale Earnhardt Sr.), Junior never truly has shown that he is a real contender. Remember when he was winning races or even placing top 10??? That’s when he was with DEI; a company his dad built. He’s now with Hendrick and I think a huge disappointment to Rick. Is he a spoiled kid? Would he ever had raced NASCAR if he wasn’t his dad’s son? Does Junior think he’s the second coming of the Intimidator? I don’t want anyone to believe I am disrespecting Dale Earnhardt Sr. Dale Sr., has earned my respect over and over during his quickly ended career. I really think his son would be bagging groceries at some North Carolina Grocery Store, if it weren’t for his dad. I think if he had any potential at all, he had the opportunity with DEI.   There is one positive as I see it. Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s popularity, although I cant understand why, has given me the a huge boost in sales through my store. http://tinyurl.com/qa9wmp Yeah I dabble in online sales… Junior merchandise account for over 30% of sales. Thanks Dale Jr. Who else feels the same way? Can anyone explain his popularity other than being his dad’s son? I do wish he had more talent. He should step aside and take up the career I mentioned earlier. One more thing??? Does he have a girlfriend or a significant other??? Again….. Just my opinion. Oh, I know, opinions are like butt-holes.
