Default Jr. & DEI - 05-10-2007 , 07:12 AM






Lose/Lose

Jr. will suck as an owner/driver - as does everyone who's tried it in the
past 15 years or so.

DEI will have no driver worth a crap, and will be an "also ran" organization
in no time flat.

And here I thought Teresa was supposed to be such an astute business woman.
This couldn't be a worse outcome for both parties.

kinda early to say jr would suck as an owner/driver...at least he is
taking the chance...with average equipment at dei, he wasn't getting
anywhere also...if all is true, i hope jr takes paul menard also...

First Jr. is not a new car owner. He has been very successful at the
Busch level. His teams always have cars that are competitive whether
he is in them or not. The structure and organization is in place,
unlike Michael Waltrip where he was starting from ground 0. Jr. is
effectively taking his Busch team Cup racing. A step up for sure, but
not like starting from nothing.

There is one thing that I know will happen if this is how it turns
out. IF Jr starts as a new team, he won't be locked in in the top
35 in owner points. That means Jr. would have to be a go or go home
car for the first five races anyway. That also means that for next
year you can almost bet that the number of "locked in cars" will be
adjusted". Why? Simple to make more room for Jr. to get in the
races on time. Can you imagine the impact on the Daytona 500 ratings
if Jr. wasn't in it?? That can't happen now can it.

Wouldn't it be easier for Nascar just to fudge the qualifying times in his
favor, if need be?
