EARNHARDT DRAGGING DOWN MARK MARTIN?

Posted 05/21/10 at 11:20 AM PDT by | Email This |

Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s No. 88 team remains mired in one of sports' most miserable losing streaks. SI.com's Tom Bowles points out that misfortune is spreading across the Hendrick Motorsports garage. Writes Bowles, "You'd think Earnhardt could go to Mark Martin for support, but the disease of discontent has spread to the No. 5. An offseason move to combine both their resources hasn't clicked, with Martin's team in the midst of a winless season of their own. Even at their best track, Dover, they lurched home 15th with a handling package that Alan Gustafson claimed is struggling to find speed with the new spoiler." 

Is it the spoiler? Or is Dale Earnhardt Jr., as they say in Las Vegas, a cooler?

junior is by far the most over rated "athlete", if you want to call him that, since ryan leaf. i mean the guy is nothing like his father, he's a non aggressive whiney little kid. he has the absolute best people from hendrick working on his car week in and week out. could it possibly be that he's just a terrible driver?

1 win in 136 races...I think the problem is Junior. If his name was Dale Henderson Jr, he'd be running at Greenville-Pickens Speedway on Friday nights.
Put Vickers or Casey Mears in that car, and the win % would be better.

it's always fun or not to read some randon b.s. some random guy who makes a living thinking up stories to write about events he has no knowledge about.

kinda like palin who failed as a government employee all running her pie hole daily about events she has no idea wtf is happening.

ok sure the 88 is slowing down the entire hendrick org. nice try. stick to stick and ball stuff in the future, ok.

meanwhile what's the true story about lebron james' mommy baggin the players on his team... huh ??

and why has espn agreed to keep quiet when told to stfu 'bout that mess ??

If your Mark Martin (or even Alan) How would you feel when your owner/boss says they are going to dump every resource they have into the car across the shop that is suppose to be your partner? It certainty wouldn't give you the warm and fuzzy feeling.

The 5 has been struggling ever since Rick figured out he has to build the baddest cars ever made to compensate for the lack of driving ability in the 88.

No real surprise here for me.

Ya just know this is going to unjustly ruin McCrews career.
