This. He hasn't done much of anything in how long? If his last name wasn't Earnhardt he'd be back in the truck series or back on some short track somewhere. Nascar teams go through drivers like a baby goes through diapers, at least the lesser named/talented drivers. He's also a merchandisers wet dream. There's lots of money to be made off his name. IMO, if he wins this Sunday, ASSuming he isn't in a wreck, it's fixed. Nascars ticket sells are down, their TV ratings are down (so I've read), so what better way to boost viewership then have Nascars goldenboy win on the 10th anniversary of his old mans death? How would Nascar fix the race? Jr gets the slightly bigger restrictor plate...(tin foil hat off)...
