Earnhardt Jr HOF?

if Danica is a hall of famer like Bob Pockrass thinks then dale jr is a shoo in

along with kyle petty, ken schrader, ricky craven,
 
I believe that the history of our sport should be celebrated. However, I hate HOF's. Like voting on what a good race is. Think about it. Dave Moody has a vote...and he isn't afraid to remind you of that every chance he gets.

I agree completely. I hate anything that includes any kind of vote.

As far as Jr. as others have said, his popularity gets him in if stats don't. Two Daytona 500 wins. Two Busch series titles back when the Busch Series meant something. He's close on numbers. Erase 2009-around 2012, he'd be in. Those years hurt.

So why is Busch series meaningless now? KB sure makes it suck but those trying to get into Cup have to all prove themselves there first. Except if you are a pretty girl....

'09 and '10 in particular. 2009 was rock bottom for Dale Jr., as he finished 25th in points while his teammates finished 1-2-3, and 2010 wasn't a whole lot better. He actually didn't have too bad a season in 2011, he just didn't win.

My favorite race I ever attended was the 2012 Michigan race where Jr broke his 4 year winless drought. The atmosphere there was crazy after Jr took the checkers, it was a lot of fun to be there.

Because the four guys competing for the "championship" now only have a few wins between them. Back then you had to compete against everyone, including non-Cup teams that were actually competitive. Who is the biggest threat now, Ross Chastain? Please.

The Grand National championship now is even more of a crapshoot than Cup.

That's a conversation for another thread.

The last stats I read were the Hockey HOF in Toronto draws in about 300K per year and Baseball in Cooperstown about 250K so IDK where someone ever figured the Nascar HOF would move the turnstile 800,000 times as that is just plain crazy.

Wow , I had no idea the other HOF 's were that low . They make Nascar 's 150M look pretty good . Never been to any of them . But one time in Bristol , I took the wife to a mall and saw a cardboard sign about a Country Music Hall of Fame in the basement . I went down to have a look and they were truly surprised to get a visitor . Turned out the origin of country music was a Bristol recording studio . And the first recordings were called "The Bristol Sessions" . End of lesson , leave a donation on your way out and close the door .
 
Will he get in ?, I am pretty sure we all know the answer to that.
 
If 2 Daytona 500 wins and exceptional popularity gets you in, then sure.
