My favorite is JPM, and has been sense his IRL days.
Uh ...... If you are referring to Montoya, his IRL career consited of exactly ONE race - the 2000 Indy 500.
I don't know if Dale Jr, is the most overrated driver in NASCAR - he is the most overhyped. Dale Jr. inherited his fathers fanbase by default. If his name was Dale Muckenfuss or Dale Fussmucken, he would just be another driver. I don't think Jr. ever lived up to the expectations of his fans and the media hype, but 18 wins proves that at one point, he could win.
I actually like Dale Jr., but won't come within a mile of the idiots in Junyur Nayshun.
Pretty fitting that we now have the psycho fanbases of the 2 most overhyped drivers in history aflliated with each other.

Uh, Beavis ........ you are the one who brought up Dale Jr. AGAIN!!
....... "A-hole" - coming from you ........ I'll just consider the source .....
