These guys are talented - and what they do is very dangerous - thats what makes it so entertaining - but do not be fooled - they have multi million dollar contracts and get paid apperance money just like all other professional sports - as for Dale JR - he may be one of the first people ever to have to fire himself - he is driving in the shadow of his dad - and he is not his dad - to be fair no one else is either - but the blame they are trying to put on the crew chiefs is unjust when he is not a proven driver - he is much better than Kyle Petty who has gone through much of the same type of situation but he still leaves a lot to be desired as a driver as of now - and I will say he is better than a lot of guys out there racing - but there are alot of guys if given the equipment JR has would be in the winners circle much more often
with my mind on crappie and crappie on my mind -
and if ya'll see Goober later tellem I said duh huh - he'll know what ya mean!!!!!!!!
