i'm still in disbelief. how can stepmomma be so foolish ? she just killed the company. even if she doesn't trust junior and truly believes he lacks the judgement to lead DEI, so what ? Dale formed the company for the children, and certainly intended for junior to eventually take over. i have to wonder if stepmomma got her advice from the same folks who've been helping out the administration.
I'm reminded of that old saying, about a person biting off their nose to spite their face. (Yeah, it's something my dear granny used to say to me.) It sounds like that is exactly what Mrs. E did to her step-son. I had a hunch negotiations would go sour when she made those comments in the newspaper about Jr. deciding if he wants to be a celeb or a race car driver.
Huh? You mean...he can't be both?
As for the thought of Jr. signing with Hendrick? At least he'd get good cars and good engines. Jeff isn't my favorite driver, but I know that he and Junior are friends and would probably work good together.
I can't remember where I read it the other day, probably an online article somewhere, but the writer was detailing how DEI has fallen way behind in areas like testing and R&D. The first thought that came into my mind? Mrs. E didn't want to give up any of the corporate profits. Newsflash! You gotta spend money to make money! That's why teams like Gibbs and Hendricks are leaving DEI in the dust. I don't care how good a driver you are, if your car isn't up to snuff, there's only so much you can do with it.
And then there's this whole illegal bracket business. I guess if it doesn't rain, it pours!
