Those guys like Junior have a lot of nerve complaing about how tough the season is these days. If they would race once a week it would be over right quick. They are already off from November until February so when the season does start you would think they would want to race. But it does not look that way. But then three-quarters of them probably get discouraged because they know that Roush, Gibbs, and Hendrick drivers just take turns winning everything. They should try getting a real job where you work year round for |

schedule is. So far they've raced a whole two weeks and now have a week off.
It's so hard on them that many of them will go to Mexico City to drive in the
Busch series. Bunch of pantywaists if you ask me.

Tuesday..sponsor responsibilities; business appearances
Wednesday..pre-race prep in shop
Thursday..travel to race venue, set up, do pre race interviews
Friday..practice
Saturday...qualify
Sunday...race
Add nearly double that activity if you're running and/or owning a Busch
car too.
Because the point system is so volume dependent, the drivers have to run
all the races to have a chance at a Chpship. Pro golfers for example,
play only 2/3 or less of available events and can still win the Chpshp
(Money list) with just a few wins.
With all the other demands on time (Junior does beer, jeans, auto parts,
cookies, cars, car rentals, etc commercials) I'm sure they'd like to be
able to pick and choose to skip a race or two here and there.

tired of making commercials. That's just one of the side effects of
having all those millions thrown at you.

Maybe DEI could tell Bud and Wrangler to hold onto their money, Jr.'s tired of making commercials. That's just one of the side effects of having all those millions thrown at you. |
