Jr. Leaves

Say it ain't so Jr.? Dale Earnhardt Jr. is leaving the team that his daddy made famous. But, who can blame him? He is only the face of Nascar, and his step-mother, who owns the company, is playing hardball. Dale wanted 51% ownership. Was this unreasonable? He wasn't asking for 91%. He should be the leader of his father's company. He wasn't trying to brush off step-mom, just seeking a reasonable way to move forward with his life and business. Jr. is going to start a bidding war for his services that the sport has never seen. He will come out a big winner. But
step-mom? She has just lost the face of Nascar, and, in essence, has cut off her nose to spite her own face. DEI is going to struggle mightily without Jr. Although Nascar's popularity has sagged a little this year, the result of all of this is that it is only going to boost Nascar to new heights.
