DEI Dominate Win
Well now, After the Dover race and Dale Jr's announcement of departure, DEI shows the public, other drivers, and JR that things might not be a out-of-alignment as first indicated. Truex Jr had a car that was totally dominate and was driving circles around everyone else, while keeping the tires on the car. If I were to rate the performance of the two Jr's at DEI over this year, Truex would have it hands down. (and I am a Huge Earnhardt fan)
The fact is when you look at the most consistent performer and strength of a car over the course of a race, Truex seems to keep his car more stable, where Jr seems to get it good or start out good and then lose the handling somewhere in the race. I hope this is a sign that DEI is here for the long haul and will be a competitive group.
As for Dale Jr, I have been trying to keep up on all the different rumors out there, but with all the different possibilities and Toyota working to get teams to join their brand, there seems to be no certainties in any of NASCAR right now. Gibbs is to possibly jump to Toyota, which should rule them out of the choice game, but that is not certain. Ginn racing has an opening and will accept the BUD sponsorship, which is hard to get a long-term commitment for primary sponsors. I would think that would be a hard one to turn down as an owner. Then there is the RCR group, which says no talks have been going on, but also has comments that say no directions have been finalized with Jr, so which is right? (Throwing hands up here and just waiting till it is posted on Rowdy and he is in a different fire suit.) Then I will believe it is real and happening
I just know one thing for sure. The decision that Jr makes, and how he handles everything from the disclosure of what he is going to do, along with how he handles the sponsorship transition, will either build him in fan loyalty or hurt him. The later would be if he were just out for himself, burning bridges with the things that have gotten him to where he is at today. I feel that he is a good businessman, and has learnt from what his father had done in the past, but he is still young in this sport, so it will be interesting to see how it all works out.
Just some more random thoughts of what is in this head after a race weekend. Will be at the Michigan races, and hope to meet up with other Rowdy fans out there.
