What will happen if Dale Junior decides to retire?

May be...

why is he the only driver or the only driver with fans? bandwagon fans are fickle. they will hitch their wagon to another.

The other drivers would keep racing and there would be plenty of "young guns" to fill the open seats. And yes Jr. will retire someday.

stands will be fuller since fans know the idiots of JR nation will not be throwing beer bottles

the world continues to turn and races will continue

Not a darn thing. I know this will surprise a lot of people, but NASCAR was around long before any Earnhardt got behind the wheel of a racecar and will still be around when they are gone from the scene. The fans will find another driver to cheer for. Cheering for JR is a habit for a lot of folks, one they will replace with another when he is gone.

Hopefully... for you and his fans? His lil brother will be waiting in the shadows!!
I wondered the same thing about FORD,as a whole, when Robert Yates retired.
But Doug seems to have a handle on things

He will assume role as a full time team owner and people like Harvick, Stewart, and Junior will be your future team owners of NASCAR. The stands will be packed (depending on economy) and Jeffrey Earnhardt will be to new Dale Jr. (2010)

All of the fans, well, all of the TRUE fans would end up picking another driver and move on. Now there might be a riot at first from Jr deciding to retire at like 34 but Nascar would survive.

If they leave when Jr. crashes, they are not true fans.

If he retires, which I'm sure he will someday, NASCAR will just continue on. Hell, Bill Elliott retired (???) Mark Martin retired 3 times, KING RICHARD retired, Dale Sr. died, and they still race.

Ther is no big E, or little e in NASCAR.

Sure, life, and NASCAR would go on. It would suck for awhile, cuz of course, Dale is so popular. But someone else's popularity will rise and take his place.

life will go on, Nascar will go on.

When he is not making races and finishing last, people will throw him under the bus, too.

Nascar will motor along just fine. If and when he retires one day there will be someone else come in and take his place. I really believe Nascar could survive without Dale Jr. Its lasted this long and it will be around for a very very long time.

wel it would give other fans another chance to go to a race u have to admit as jr fans that he isnt the only driver out there and not the only fans out there

That happens a a lot of race tracks, if Dale Jr, Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart DNF's yes a lot of people do start to leave. Well I think we have another 8-10 yrs for Dale Jr... There will be another Earnhardt out there by then Jeffrey is on his way probably in 2-3 yrs. But everyone will find another driver to cheer for. I do have about 5 or 6 that I cheer for

Go Dale Jr & Hms

I don't see that happening for a long time but when it does everything will be ok.

NASCAR will be just fine.


(though when Big E passed away I couldn't watch NASCAR for two years).

NASCAR fans won't be afraid to attend the races anymore and have to worry about Jr. nation talking trash about them and who they cheer for. The stands would be packed so the real race fans can come watch, and not worry about which driver they cheer for. People still watched when Dale Sr. died, and those fans went to Jr. Now when Jr. retires they will go somewhere else and make a new driver most popular. Some of them should quit watching all together, though.

Now I know he dosnt have any plans in the near future to retire. But I heard on Victory Lane this week that when Junior crashed out at CHarlotte, the stands started to empty out fast.
Now if Junior ever decides to retire what do you think will happen????freeware backgammon palm
