Even Robby will admit that Kirk strangles his ideas at times,and its usually
for the better. They do quite well together,I say keep em as they are.
Its working.
The poop, I tell you!

He kept the one that sells the most tee-shirts. If Rick gets a cut on the 88 gear sales, then he kept the right Jr.

Very right Alan. Money talks and Little Ediot does make the money at the merch trailers.

Matt, I've completely got your back on this one. Dale Jr has 18 career wins, a Daytona 500 win and 2 Nationwide championships. Shoulds, woulda coulda won the 2004 championship if not for the "don't mean shit" penalty in Talladega victory lane and Carl Edwards wrecking him at Atlanta while he was in the points lead. Most drivers would kill for those results. If you look at his history he has comparable stats to Kurt Busch, Ryan Newman, and MattKenseth and has much better results than guys like Kevin Harvick and even Greg Biffle and yet no one every casts any doubt about these guys' talent. Sure Dale is not his dad and he never will be. But no one is his dad. The only current drivers even in that discussion are Johnson, Gordon and Stewart. By the way, from 2000-2007 only those three drivers won more than Earnhardt Jr.

He can absolutly drive and I would say 75% of the problems this year have been Eury Jr.s fault. They were talking last night on Nascar Now about how Eury went in a completely different direction with the front end geometry than the 5, 24 and 48. How dumb is that? Not only is what you have not as good but you can't share notes with your team mates, which has been a problem in the past with Eury.

I would compare this current situation the most with Jeff Burton at the 99 car. He had all the resources in the world and for some reason things stopped working. Jeff Burton did not forget how to drive a race car, he just needed a change of scenary. Earnhardt does not have to be your favorite guy, but seriously, give the guy a little respect.

True that. It sucks too because maybe other, more deserving drivers would be just as popular, but "good ol' Dee-Dubya and the gang, along with that rascal Digger" keep propagating this myth of his skill and talent and shower ungodly amounts of praise on him--yet every time they cut to his in-car cam (read: EVERY 10 damn minutes) he's running in the back. Again.

Hey Wanawin,
I'm not sure how this works,But I think Nascar is going to blame ROBBY for JRs trouble:)

I thought Jr. said he'd rather not win races with Tony Eury Jr. than win races without him??? Guess t-shirt selling boy is not calling the shots or changed his mind.
