Who taught this dude to calculate gas milage? Trying to stretch the gas 6 extra laps at Texas.........No freakin way.
I listen to the headsets just to see how many stupid ideas he has. Rick and Dale Jr. need to sit down and get someone new. Too bad Darrien Grubb has already gotten away. Tony Jr. is the best NASCAR has ever seen at tuning a car backwards.
Full Version: Fed up with Tony E. Jr.
I agree!!!!
As a diehard Dale Jr. fan...I have to disagree. I've listened to Jr on the scanner for years. He is a terrible communicator. He #### and moans about how bad the car is, but he's about 80% of the reason they can be lightning fast off the truck, then awful in the 2nd half of every race.
Think about the last time you've seen Jr come from 10th to 5th or better in the last 50 laps of a race. I think Jr hasn't won a championship because Jr doesn't understand enough about adjusting a car to make it better. The crew can only do so much--and JR has to bear a lot of the blame for why they haven't been able to make a charge late in the race.

Maybe, but Dale Jr. was not the one figuring the gas milage last Sunday............coming up 5 laps shorts

That's heresy around these parts. Take it back while you still can.

Junior only has one win this year--a fuel mileage win at that. Get off Eury's back. He was a genius then, but he's a dumb### now?
Are you an analyst...or a fan?!!! Sorry...I'm just not a big fan of the "Fire the Coach" chants. Success in NASCAR starts with the car, but winning comes from the cockpit. I love Jr, but he makes a lot of silly mistakes and he doesn't get through his frustrations well enough to tell the crew what the car is doing. His car has the engine, aero, and support to win every Sunday.
