“Lame” Dale Earnhardt Jr’s “Poor Leadership” Called Into Question Over “Chicken Sh*t” Comments on Ty Gibbs’ NASCAR Win

One could argue that Ty Gibbs shouldn’t have won the NASCAR Xfinity Series title, and most would agree with such an argument. Still, if even that isn’t a convincing testament to the resentment against the #54 driver, then perhaps take a look at how fans reacted to Dale Earnhardt Jr’s post-Phoenix comments.

Earnhardt Jr, whose JR Motorsports had a 75% chance to win the title with 3/4 drivers in the final four against Ty Gibbs, accepted the ‘fair display’ of racing put up by his drivers and denounced the urges of a payback.

“I appreciate our drivers efforts to win today. They gave it everything. Some in my timeline wanted us to wreck Ty. That ain’t no good to me. Noah would have done what it took to win if he could have reached Ty there at the end. But sayin Sam shoulda wrecked Ty is 🐔💩,” he tweeted.

However, this wasn’t taken well by a big section of NASCAR fans, as they called out the Hall of Famer for his attitude as a team owner. Many reactions pointed out and emphasized that Gibbs should’ve been given a taste of his own medicine when it mattered the most.

The fact that he wasn’t, followed by Junior’s comments really infuriated some fans.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. had emphasized none of his drivers would be “dumping” Ty Gibbs

Ahead of the Xfinity Series finale, Dale Earnhardt Jr. had made it clear that none of his three drivers would go out in Phoenix and do something for which they have to put their heads down.

“I will tell you that I talked to my four guys post-Martinsville, and I said, ‘Listen, we’re not dumping nobody this weekend.’ I said, ‘We’re going to try and that championship,'” he revealed.

“We’re damn sure not going to let that 54 win it, but we’re going to walk out of there with our heads up.”

But looking at how things stand now, it doesn’t seem like JR Motorsports keeping their heads up out of Phoenix with no trophy in their bag is working after all. Instead, probably the opposite is true.
