|
who Jr. (Dale Earnhardt's son) works for and who will leave at the end of the year because his step mom (who owns DEI) couldn't come to terms with.

I think I understand part of it. I am almost motivated enough to google this Coach person. But not quite.

7. You don't think that Bud will follow him to Hendricks? |
|
Maybe he does need a clean start. Maybe he'll lose all of those rude asshole fans he's had.

Earnhardt fans despise Jeff Gordon--remember them pelting him with beer cans when he broke Big E's win record a couple of months ago? I wonder how they're going to accept him being on JG's team.
I have a couple of friends who go to Talledega every year in their RV festooned with 8 and 3 flags. They HATE Jeff Gordon. They think he's a wacky Californian. :eyes: I haven't called them yet to see what they think of this (really, to rub it in. :spray: )
Oh, the beauty of this NASCAR moment.
:rofl:

17. Even My Earhardt loving, Gordon hating family |
|
Thought that barrage was uncalled for. Their opinion is that records are meant to be broken (something Big E allegedly understood, too). And they grudgingly admitted that in all the interviews before and after the record-breaking race, Gordon was a class act about it--mentioning several times that Earnhardt was his hero as a kid and inspiration as a young driver. He even displayed a #3 flag on his car.
From Joedog, the only member of her family who prefers horse racing.

25. This Californian hates Gordon |
|
It has nothing to do with where he is from. It is because he is an unctious smarmy piece of shit. Got to laugh at how he was taken for a ride by that gold-digging ex of his. :P
Junior's okay, not half the asshole his dad was. I wish him well.
Me... I prefer Jimmy Johnson (also a Californian, from El Cajon, right outside my hometown) and Clint Bowyer (only because he has the best sponsor in the league, Old No.7 - lol!).

#3, Senior and Jeff were business partners off the track. Also, the late Ricky Hendrick (plane crash 2005 near Martinsville VA) wanted Jr badly. With Hendrick Motorsporta, you have the Gordon/Johnson future legacy, the Earnhardt name in Fender Racing, and the Mears name from Open Wheel Racing. And all of them can stay on top of the wheel!
BTW, I'm a #20 Home Depot Chevrolet Tony Stewart fan!

14. Most of the Earnhardt fans I know.... |
|
including me, are happy for Dale, Jr. He needs to be somewhere that provides him with what he needs to win. Hendrick can provide that. Hendrick is an old friend of the family and in fact wrote a contract on a napkin which Dale signed when he was 15 years old. Dale, Jrs. grandfather worked for Hendrik and Dale, Sr. drove a Busch car for Hendrick.
So, NO, all Earnhardt fans aren't having a conniption right now.

20. I didn't say a word about whether or not the fans despise Jeff |
|
Gordon, did I? I said the fans I know are happy Dale is happy with this move. The rivalry with Jeff Gordon won't go away for the fans, so what? I'm a Dale, Jr. fan and I don't despise JG. I'm not his biggest fan but I don't despise him.
Maybe it's the company you keep??? Or maybe people just like to gloat over what they perceive as someone else's misery?

22. To Earnhart fans, it is traitorous. Those that don't think so... |
|
probably keep their mouths shut. As for misery? I don't spend one second of my time worrying about the travails of a rich NASCAR driver. I have more important things to do.
Just sayin', I know what I see and hear, and Earnhart fans and Jeff Gordon just don't mix.

28. I heard this earlier today. His fans are probably going to throw fits |
|
because Jeff Gordon is also a Hendricks driver. I was hoping this was where Junior would end up. I have nothing against him, but a lot of his fans are a-holes, throwing crap out on the track any time Jeff wins. Serves the fans right! :rofl:

That was good, but the Rednecks can't really afford NASCAR anymore. Demographics don't include moonshiner's anymore. Just folks with LOTS of disposable income!!!
