Jr. Nation Goes Koo-Koo for CoCo Puffs
As NASCAR’s “Favorite Son” Dale Earnhardt Jr. has a rather vociferous group of fans that at times take a walk on the wild side - If “wild side” means defenders of all things “Junior,” against all enemies both foreign and domestic, and far from being above floating the latest anti-Jr. conspiracy theory.
But sometimes you just have to go… HUH, and wonder what Ganga field they live (and breath) in!
A certain blogger, who shall go nameless and linkless because his comment threads need a Nurse Ratched-like moderator, has been hearing from a number of Junior Nation members that are upset with NASCAR over the outcome of the LifeLock 400 at Michigan Sunday.
It seems despite Favorite Son breaking his 2 year win drought they feel “cheated,” because they didn’t get their full entertainment dollar’s worth.
They feel - adjust your Flux Capacitors now - NASCAR should have given the #88 a splash of gas after the checkered flag so he could perform the now “traditional” victory burn-out!
Let me repeat that for full effect and possible cranial penetration; Some Dale Jr. fans feel NASCAR should have refueled the #88 so they could have seen him do a BURNOUT and their desire for smoky burnouts and the inhalation of little carbon-black bits were fully sated.
I might surprise a few people by the following, but what the hell, stay with me for a hot second. I agree, they were “cheated” and deserve far better from NASCAR and the Sprint Cup officials.
So I propose a rule change to take immediate effect. From now until Joey Logano retires as a 25-year Cup vet with 18 championships and 382 Cup wins (or Elliot, Martin and T. Labonte actually, really retire which ever comes first) smoky burnouts are a mandatory part of all Sprint Cup victory celebrations.
In addition, a list of the inane and terminally stupid that complained about NASCAR’s despicable MIS oversight will forevermore be included on a billing list and sent an invoice of broken engine and associated drivetrain parts payable & due upon receipt.
Multiplied by three!
Plus taxes and any applicable surcharges! (surcharges to be collected by, collected by… nevermind lets say by someone and for a “good cause” and leave it at that.)

I feel cheated because the JR Nation feels cheated and I can’t find said blog!!!!!!
Maybe next time the JR Nation should empty their coolers onto the track in a celebration. Oh wait, they have already done that a couple of times. Never mind
I was actually surprised to hear NASCAR had not allowed him to have enough gas for a burnout. According to the black helicopter crowd NASCAR is in the tank for Junior and will do anything to help Junior win to boost TV ratings. I guess some official down there in Victory Lane didn’t get the memo.
It just boggles the mind…
okla, I feel cheated also.
Cheated out of the time it took me to read the original post that contained this nugget of nuttiness.
