While I sit here and read some of these threads, I just wonder about the audacity of some people. The same people that are b***hing about Jr and his crew and how he lost the race, are the same people that were on here talking about how good he was running and how he was the favorite to win, and blah, blah, blah. Either you are a Jr fan or you aren't. Quit riding the fence. He admitted that they made some bad decisions toward the end, he was just as disappointed as the rest of Jr Nation. But for all you 'haters' I believe that he was one of the very few who started AND finished the race in the top ten.
Just my opinion!!!

I AGREE, COMPLETELY. IF YOU'RE A REAL FAN YOU WOULDN'T PUT HIM DOWN NO MATTER WHAT MISTAKES HE MAKES. WE'RE ALL HUMAN. LAY OFF AND SUPPORT HIM.

I think he had a good finish. You can't win them all. Everyone is intitled to their own opinion of the race, and I understand you are frustrated. However, Jr created this place for all race fans, and not everyone is going to agree.
I think he was very happy for ryan and i also think he knew there could have been some better choices made, but Jr had a top ten finish and lost his teammates due to accidents for help. no one was helping each other.

Junior can be disappointed if he wants, that's his right. The rest of us in the Junior Nation are just happy to see him running well again and up front.

I don't like to bash, but Kyle constantly is negative, even in his interview after the race. I was praying he didn't win. We all have that one driver that rubs us the wrong way, he is mine...

said perfectly. I think if it is fans of Jr bashing him, they need to look at the last three + years and be happy for what they got. I was happy with his finish. I mean, one thing about the HMS cars is that they work together and he didn't have that. like he said post race no one was helping each other and he wasnt either?
I do think that those sitting on the fence need to pick a side, because seriously at this point, your either with jr or you are not... the question is, would the fence sitters be bashing him if he were still in the 8 car?
I think it is a beautiful start of a new season.
