I don't have much time to check out Dale Jr. and see how its going for him. Because, honestly, I'm a Michael Waltrip fan. Have been for a long, long time. Most of my time is spent....."where's Mikey, what happened to Mikey, anyone seen Mikey".

Just thought I would throw this out there, I am a big Jr. fan as I was getting interested in racing when he started in the Busch series. If you want to find out if Jr. is overrated compare him too say Kyle Busch and Matt Kenseth. He isn't on the Jimmie, Jeff, or Tony level so lets leave that out. For the first 5 years of their careers.
Jr: 8% winning percentage, 29% top 5, 43% top 10
Matt: 5% winning, 21% top 5, 44% top 10
Kyle: 8% winning, 32% top 5, 50% top 10
If anything people calling Junior overrated only seem to come out after he has a bad outing, they fail too realize that he is statistically very much in the top 10 and already has two Nascar Championships. I also think that unlike alot of drivers there is more to life than racing for Dale Jr. and that is a big factor. I think he would do well to go to a partial schedule in a few years and would be fairly successful. Not too mention he is the best plate racer and in the top 3 short track drivers of his generation.
