Dale Jr.??

well he said he would stay with chevy.

and i heard last week that he was saying that his father & Gordon really weren't as bitter of rivals as his fans make it out to be. More like just his fans not liking him, not so much Sr. himself.

Personally im a Hendrick(Gordon) fan so i think it'd be cool to see him with them, & watch his & his fathers heads basically explode, hahaha

RANK MAKE POINTS BEHIND WINS
1 Chevrolet 87 Leader 9
2 Ford 57 -30 1
3 Dodge 46 -41 0
4 Toyota 30 -57 0

87BNF I can see why ford would want Jr. cause ford only has 1 win...
Im not a big Jr. fan, but im shure he love's winning and Chevy has 9 wins this year.

Im thinking 81nautique is close by saying he will go with RCR in the black #3 That WOULD be somthing to see..

To me he needs to be

1. in a Chevy,
2. in a Chevy that can win
3. on a Chevy team that can provide some drafting help at restrictor plate races.


Nate, Although I don't dislike Hendricks I'm not a fan either. I'd hate to see him go there simply because the rivalries are good for the sport. Besides how would the Earnhartt fans justify throwing beer cans at Gordon when he wins if they're teammates.    

Dale sr. and Gordon were actually good friends and business partners off the track but come sunday it was racing, I think there was a certain amount of respect on each side. They had the Racing for kids magazine and several real estate/business deals together, I think Dale just loved messing with him, right down to the glass of milk toast at the awards banquet. Reminicsing(sp) a little but I miss that attitude today.

I ran into Jr at the car wash yesterday and he said the only Ford he's ever had a desire to drive was my boat, if I'd just give him a chance, and that he just wished the Fords at the track were as dominant as they were in the speed boat world. I share his sentiments.

You can't walk into any business anywhere here right now and not hear conversations about this. Alan, you pretty much summed it up like this morning's Charlotte Observer. It was on the front page of the paper, and the headline on both the business section, and of course the sport's section.

Root, not sure I'd buy into your reasoning in this particular case. I'm confident that even if Ford had won every single race this year that they couldn't lure Jr, as brand loyalty and family tradition are what's behind him, and I whole-heartedly respect that. Mark Martin and esp Bill Elliot before him surprisingly looked to the dollar combined with a lower pressure scenario when making near-legenday changes.

Hollywood, I've lost all respect for you with that Ford comment, but concur with you on that Tony scenario. I'm a fan of both and what a pair they'd make.....          

I made up that part about the car wash.

Don't know a whole lot about the situation but it makes one wonder what Step Ma is thinking, if it is money I would think bringing in Jr in the long run would be more lucrative??

Hollywood, it could be worse, he could end up in a Toyota! Man do I love seeing those jap cars getting it handed to them by the good old boy's!!

Reid, didn't even know they had Fords in Nascar, probably cause I usually only pay attention to the leaders!!

PS, Jr and Gordon are my favorite drivers.

reid... you sure are a whiz with that photoshop, it looks so real, next boat i get i'm gonna have you do the mockup for it on the computer with different graphics...hold the rainbow though....

Nate

RCR & a black #8!
(Can't ya just see the new black Bud cans Marketing, Marketing, Marketing!)
I'm sure his old buddy Mikie would love to have him drive one of his toys - not.
Please, Please not Hendricks and anywheres near those limp-wristed rainbow boys.

Picture this,   Dale Jr. pushing Gordon for the win at Talladega.   How do you think those Rednecks are gona handle that!!!!

Hey with them teaming up, it might stop the can throwing at Gordon,    But I really dont think so...

I will vote for dale but never the other two p*ssies gordan and johnson, they both wine to much.

I have always like both Dale Sr and Jr just never liked the fact they drove chevys. Good drivers just could vote for them.
