Okay, so I have been watching NASCAR for most of my life. My question is, having seen JR only win once this year, Do you think that Tony Eury Jr is messing up Dale JR's Chance to win a race? I have a friend who thinks that every race Eury Jr Messes with JR's car and thus causes JR to loose every week. Just wanted your opnion.

I think it is possible that Tony Eury Jr is messing with Dale Jr's car and that could be why he keeps losing week after week,and I think having Tony Eury Jr as his crew chief could cause Dale Jr to have trouble winning any more races,but to be honest that does not bother me,because I do not like Dale Jr,because in my opinion he is not half the man his dad was.

His dad was the best,and everyone loved his dad when it came to racing,and I can understand that your friend is part of the Jr nation,but I personally think it is not a good person,even though he really knows how to drive, have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting.

Correct me if i'm wrong but i think you mean that Eury is accidentally doing things to Junior's car that inevitably causes Junior not to finish well. Yes? Not intentional as others in this thread have interpreter your discussion. Myself i'm a hardcore Junior fan. Have been so since he was in the Busch Series. i simply don't see Eury making mistakes in car setup or on-track decisions. Junior is in the second spot in the Nextel Cup standings at the moment. So he and his cuz ain't doing too bad.

Hellooooooo!!!!!!!! Um... Junior WON a "POINTS" race not too long ago? He's been in good "contention" in many of the races, too. He also won the first 2 NON-points races of the season. I fail to see how Jr's OWN COUSIN... a BLOOD relative... would be SO cruel as to "mess with" the car and cause him to LOSE!!! Why would it be to his detriment rather then his aid? Couldn't Tony be "messing" with the car in order to help Jr WIN? Why is the assumption that he messes with it to LOSE? Sorry, but your friend is messed with in his head. He/she is blinded by his Jr-worship to think straight. Jr is doing JUST FINE, he can take care of himself. If his OWN COUSIN was "messing" (negatively) with his car, I'm sure he would have figured it out by now. Tell your friend to stop finding excuses and see reality.

Tony is Jrs cousin and Jr took him to Hendrick motor sports, he wouldn't do that if he was messing with his car. Pit crews get a cut of the check when a driver wins they are all part of a team. I would say that when Jr dropped DEI and his car was blowing up every week someone in the DEI garage was messing with it; but not his cousin.

R you kidding? Tony Jr does not mess with Jr's car.. if Jr wins Tony wins... it makes both of them look better..... these guys have just had a run of bad luck lately, but are doing very well staying in the points race... go team 88!!

I really do not think that Tony is hurting Jr's chances to win. I really do believe that the Car of Tomorrow car is really lot different from the other race cars, plus the tire problems have a lot to do with it. If you look at the other Henrick drivers they're pretty much in the same predicament. Beside thats Jr will be fine!!!!!
