TELL YA WHY JR. LOST THIS FAN!!!

I have responded to several blogs stating that I hope Dale Jr. wins as many races this year as he did last year, (none). Well, he won the Bud Shootout last Saturday night and won the first duel race today. That is okay, because these are non-point races. Hopefully these will be the only races he wins this season.

Now for the reason Jr. lost this fan: Last year he wanted majority ownership of Dale Earnhardt Inc. and Teresa would not give it to him. She said that he could buy his half, but she was NOT going to just give it to him. So, what does he do? He gets mad and says that he is leaving the company that his daddy built from the ground up. Personally, I thought Teresa did the right thing by not giving in. Everyone looks at Teresa as the 'bad guy', but did you or Dale Jr. ever stop to look at this: Dale had 4 kids: Kerry, Kelly, Dale Jr. and Taylor Nicole. Maybe Dale left it in his will that when he and Teresa are gone, the company would be split 4 ways giving each one 25% ownership. Now if Teresa would have given in to Little E's demands, how could it be split EVENLY?!?!?

Dale was courted by several big name teams last year after he made the announcement that he was leaving DEI. Hendrick Motorsports, Joe Gibbs Racing, and Richard Childress just to name a few. Yes, I was hoping at first that he would drive for Richard, and maybe see the #3 car back on the track again. But when it was all said and done, he signed a 5 year deal to drive for Rick Hendrick.

I hope Mark Martin and Martin Truex Jr. have real good seasons this year and can run towards the front of the field. That way everyone will see that DEI can survive without a Dale Jr.

I figure I will get a lot of heat from this blog. So, if ya agree or disagree, DON'T SING IT, JUST BRING IT!!!!!!!

Personally, I never liked either of the Earnhardts: Intimidator or wimp.

Ahh, Dale Sr. was tied with Richard Petty as being my all-time favorite driver.
