DEI is in no way near the Taj Mahal of equipment. Period. David Pearson, DW and,Yarborough are not racers of this day and age. Comparing them to Jr. is comparing apples to oranges. When great drivers of NASCAR are talked about these drivers are always mentioned and when appropriate their names are mentioned. They had their time for attention and news coverage. I'm sure Mark Martin got his attention in his day. It is a new era in NASCAR. The reason those drivers don't get attention much anymore is well..they aren't racing anymore. Martin is running this season but in limited races. Respect to a guy just because he is a 4 time champion? Just because someone has won 4 championships does not mean that people automatically respect him or like him. Plus tons of people have awesome rookie seasons then have horrid seasons to follow. A good rookie season means just that; a good rookie season. Jr. is getting the attention because for the past 4 years he has been voted by the fans as the most popular driver in NASCAR. You give the people what they want and the majority seem to want Jr. I'm sure if Gordon or Tony were voted most popular the coverage might change, slightly.
Shinerbock..you have anything else to add?
