Well is he? I need some proof. He isn't winning. His team keeps on making excuses. I think the latest maybe a dropped lug nut... He just isn't his Dad and that is obvious. He never will be. Those shoes will never be filled again. Dale Jr. is just a mid grade racer with a great name.
From a marketing stand point he is still money. His face and name are so recognizable, even outside of the Nascar world that he can ride his fame to the bank for at least as long as he keeps racing and wins one here and there.
It is time that we stop talking about him as a contender. He is currently in 21st position and is behind drivers with the names, Marcos Ambrose and Joey Logano. Ask who those names are outside of the Nascar world and you will get, "Second baseman for the KC Royals and actor on "How I met your mother"...
If anyone has had the path of opportunity to win paved with every available tool, expert and option it has been Jrs.
Don't get me wrong, I like the guy and would love to see him win, but really. Results tell us everything and he just doesn't get it done consistently enough for today's Nascar.
