Anyone else think that Jr.'s win is irrelevent?

May be...

Congrats to Junior and his team,And yes this is a non points race and it is just bragging rights.

For the past week all I've heard id Junior this and Junior that.I heard the predition last week was "Juniors" race to Lose.Well Junior won and thats good but wait til Quailifing then the 500 before everyone flips over Juniors Wion.

Anyone else think your opinion is irrelevant? This race is a small example of what is up and coming in the season and I am so psyched! What a great race these cars and drivers gave us tonight. I think the car of today is going to make for a very exciting Daytona 500. I cannot wait to watch qualifying !!!!!!!!!!



Hey LOLLIPOP, nobody cares about your negativity so just go and suck something, why don't ya?

jr was just given the fans a slice of the success that is about to come. Sure it was the bud shootout but come on..a wins a win...and the pressure was on and he proved he could do it. I'm glad Jr. finally got back in Victory Lane! Congrats Jr.

You can say that but most people know that it's significant.

If you like Dale it's awesome, but if you don't then just say it's not a point race just to make you feel better.

It's still a race and he still won it so get over it!

WHO cares, yes there is no points, its a race and it was his first race at HMS, this is just the beginning of a great yr..All of Dale Jr fans who have stood by him during all the bad times, and to the fans who left him because he is a team mate of Jeff Gordon...Dale Jr won tonight, yes Jimmie Johnson gave him a great push, thank you Jimmie, but this is a great start to 2008...Yes this was a fun way to start..I'm so happy I can't stand it, I'm exhausted I cried and cheered at the same time, there was a lot of money there, it was so great to see Rick Hendrick go up and congratulate him just like Jeff, Jimmie and Casey..HMS is about great people and great people win races..Congrats Dale Jr & Hms...I'm ready for the Daytona 500 NOW...



Go Dale Jr & Hms in 2008

That was the stupidest question ever. You obviously don't like Jr. He won a race, a win is a win, and of course it's relavent. He was able to work the line he needed to win, and he had to pass and keep from getting passed by some of the best drivers in the world. And he wasn't in his best car, so just imagine what he can do with his 500 car. If he can whoop up on the field in pretty much a back up car his primary cars this season are going to be amazing. you are right, you're a moron. That's how plate racing works, you get help from team mates. This must have been the first race you've ever watched. You really should just shut up before you make yourself look even worse than you already do.

You don't see his win in the Shoot out as an indicator of what will come this season. Obviously you don't like Junior. This is something he and all his fans have been waiting for. It's definitely a sign of what's gonna happen this year. He has exactly what he wanted at DEI but didn't get. Be prepared for the 88 in 08!!

Oooh man, you're brave to ask such a question with all the Jr. fans in this section...but I have to agree. It's just an exhibition race. When they start the Daytona 500, the Bud Shootout means squat. I'll give him props when he wins a REAL race.

I don't know Michael 215,000 dollars don't sound bad

for his first job at HMS.

he has talent if you like it or not, just cant stand the facts that he won, all the drivers have a good or bad season but that does not make him bad drivers, we all have our favored but we dont put your favored down this is for the once who dont like jr and i get a litle confused with peoble here, i dont know why they change there name are they worried about something would be nice to keep you in my contact list. have a nice day.

And I guess Stewart just backed off and let him have it to make him feel better? Maybe the Toyota couldn't pull around the extra poundage the driver was carrying.

I think it is awesome that Dale Jr. won the bud shootout. It goes to show you that he is on a better team. He admitted that if it wasn't for Jimmie Johnson pushing him into the lead, he never would have won. You never saw that last year because he only had Truex to depend on. Now he has Johnson, Gordon and Mears. It definately shows what is to come from Jr. WAY TO SHOW THEM JR.

is the fact that he led the most laps ever in a Bud Shootout indicitive to anything or do you just have hurt feelings over this victory

it was a definite

DO-OVER.

True, but considering how everyone was painting this bleek picture that apparently Jr's career was over, I don't mind enjoying the moment for what it is.

I understand your stand on this but its dale earnhardt jr. Who the hell wouldn't want to watch him race. He is one of the best drivers on the race of the earth, would bring joy to many Junior fans who wnat to see him win finally after so many problems at DEI. By winning, it shows what to probably expect in 08', more wins and a lot of racing.

I wish that Jeff burton wouldve one but retard jr had to be 1st

You seem worried. How many victories makes it relevant to YOU? I love it. I'm still laughing at the bashers in denial. But, bu,t but, whyyyyynnee....lol

Too bad it's a non-points race. At least he got his one win for the year out of the way before regular season, so the record books will still be able to put a "0" in the win column at season's end!

Hihey9989 is Clint L and several others (look at their avatars) and are always hatin' on Jr. and voting for themselves and giving the appropriate number of thumbs down.

GET A LIFE! WHINER!

I'm not a CHEVY Fan,or a fan of Jrs.....

But as a TRUE fan of Nascar? It was cool to see Jr. in victory

lane again ! It's been awhile !!!!!

But the fact that he drives for Rick & Gordie Boy.... Kind of took something away,from the win ?? for me anyhow !!

It still seems a little strange, the win not going to DEI.....

Yes...it's just the Bud Shootout, no points. But, to me and to a lot of the Junior Nation, it's a testiment that if you give Junior a good car, he can drive the heck out of it, and win. And, it was just awesome to see him in victory lane again. And no doubt, we will see him there many more times this year. That's all I want.

Wow, you really are in denial. What would you be saying if he came in last?

THANK YOU!! Finally! Some common sense! A star for you :D

It's the bud shootout, most of the drivers don't care in the end, because thyere already locked into the daytona 500. so jr won a restrictor plate race, which he's already been proven to be good at, and it was a short race. he's won that race before. I just don't see how his win here was indicative of anything this season will offer.



im just glad that a new season has begun, and this was a fun way to kick it off

No win is irrelevant.Ever.



I DON'T think you could have won with that help. I couldn't have either.



It set the tone for what's to come.



REPORTS OF JUNIOR'S DEMISE ARE GREATLY EXAGGERATED.

Now that is pretty funny....he only won because his team mates helped him? Hmmmmmm.......so who helped him lead 47 laps? The most laps ever lead in the history of the Bud shootout? Oh, that's right JUNIOR did.



Jimmie wasn't going to win so why not give Junior a push? That is what team work at it's finest looks like, that is why HMS is the top notch team they are.

That race has nothing to do with the 500 to begin with. You should probably know some about the sport before you speak.

As bad as NA$CAR has become infested with all the newbie no it all's and the Brian France it's mine and I'll screw it up if I want to attitude any win there is still an awesome feat. WTG Jr!!!!!!!

I don't look for him to do good today cause in generally speaking he isn't a good qualifier but next Sunday is when the money will go down on the man's son.

No! Just you, and very few others.

From what you just posted, tells us that u know very little.

By the way if it's irrelevent, why did you watch it?
