What is going on with Dale Earnhardt Jr? Why has he not won a Championship? You ask those two questions and you will get many different reasons why Junior has not won a Nascar Championship. Some say it is because he is too nice and does not have the edge that he needs. Many people point to his father who never had a problem pushing someone out of his way to win a race and he does not want to be like that. Others put the blame on his relationship with crew chief Tony Eury Jr who is his crew chief and cousin. People think the relationship has hindered Junior's growth and may never win a championship under him, but my theory has nothing to do with that one.
Junior is to nice for his own good and that is his biggest problem. His dad was never one afraid to rock the boat and say how he feels and this is what Junior needs to do. It seems he always tries to say the right things instead of being Junior the race car driver. Can Junior win a championship? Of course he can, but not until he quits worrying about doing everything people want and he starts driving a race car like he is capable of. When he drove the Busch Series for his Dad his only worries was getting into the car and winning, but now so many other things come into play and that is stifling his chances for success. He just needs to let go and drive the damn race car.
