Just wondering....are lots of folks having Earnhardt withdrawals?
Dale Jr. leaving and looking for another Jr. like maybe Bill (E) Jr. as the next hope for Nascar?

Never really a Jr. fan, just like him because he's among the last of a dying breed of good ole' boy racers from the South, and he's a great pitchman for his sponsors. By all account he's well off and starting a family, I'm happy for him and whatever the future brings him.
I've been 'driverless' since Tony Stewart pulled the plug. No real allegiance to anyone, with the possible exception of 'Seven Time' because I'd really like to see him become 'Eight Time'. I do enjoy the 'youth movement' though......

Just please, please do not go with the V6 in the cup series. It's just not right.

After being voted the 2007 NASCAR NMPA Chex Most Popular Driver for the fifth consecutive year and being presented with the award only a few days earlier at the NASCAR NMPA Myers Brothers Media Luncheon in New York City, Dale Earnhardt Jr. didn't waste any time heading to Australia to watch the final round of the Australian V8 Supercar Series at the Phillip Island Gran Prix circuit.

Earnhardt Jr was a special guest at the Dunlop Grand Finale where he mixed and talked to all teams along pit lane, regardless of the Ford versus Holden rivalry before holding a media conference where he praised the technology of our premier motorsport category

Coming on the heels of Chevrolet announcing it will field its Camaro brand in NASCAR’s top tour, race fans have been vocal about Ford’s muscle car joining the ranks as well.
The great-grandson of Ford Motor Company founder Henry Ford said that, while he’s not the decision maker for the racing arm of the manufacturer, personally he feels that having a Mustang race alongside the Camaro “would be wonderful.”
“I don’t know what we’re going to do yet, but I think it’s the right play,” Ford told motorsport.com at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, NC on Tuesday. “I think Mustang ought to be our race car – much like Camaro is General Motors race car. So, it seems to me that would be appropriate.”

Ford Motor will slash production at five of its North American plants before the end of the year to keep inventory levels from expanding as U.S. auto sales weaken for the first time in nearly a decade, Bloomberg reports...
Sales of the Mustang alone are down 30% this year.

Aric's sponsor was bailing when he was being replaced, but now is following him to SHR. He has one win in 10 seasons with Petty, but he gets hired over Matt and Kurt because he can bring money?
I guess the owners want their bread buttered on both sides.

Aric getting a ride over Matt and Kurt....wow, he must have signed a contract to work for free.
Maybe we will see Matt, Kurt and Danica on "Dancing with the Stars."

Should of just stuck with Danica. She sold more tee shirts in a week than Aric sold in those 10 years.
