So who is the biggest waste of a good ride in racing Marco or Jr.? One of the biggest things that is a huge pet peeve of mine and is almost 180 degrees on the foundation of racing..

Unlike other sports where you have to prove yourself..in racing all you need is a last name and $$...so sad...Thoughts?


18 wins 87 top 5's and 150+ Top 10's. The guy can drive a race car. Everybody and I mean everybody at some point in time hits a slump.

It's a very good question...two prima donnas who are taking what was grass roots America and running it into the ground..Both series have issues and these guys have no business in there and are far from helping either series...NEXT


So...you racing next weekend? Or is your couch broke?

Junior has the same amount or more win's than:
Matt Kenseth
Harry Gant
Martin Panch
Curtis Turner
Carl Edwards
Greg Biffle
Leroy Yarborough
Ryan Newman
Kevin Harvick
Donnie Allison
Kyle Busch
Neil Bonnett
And one shy of Buddy Baker

Just to name a few. Truly a talentless hack. rolleyes I have know idea were Marco stand's. cool smile

Facts being facts, Little E also races at least twice as much as Andretti and is further along in his career, so comparing stats isn't really going to work in this instance.

If the comparison was about attitude and demeanor, Micro is more comparable with NASCAR stick in the mud Kyle Busch.

Thanks for the warning jerk.

That is a nice stat. But I can counter with looking at winning %, overall driving career, and equipment. I mean Jr. drove cars that even Mikey could win in. I can't imagine anyone could honestly put Jr. in the ballpark with those caliber of drivers but this places surprises me all the time smile

^^ The same cars that Jeff Gordon drove win less last year..

Avg finish of 16th in 345 races is not to shabby for someone with just a last name

Money helps but talent gets in the race
