This Sunday at Michigan International Speedway, Dale Earnhardt Jr. will drive a "throwback car" painted to look just like one his father drove in 1974. But as he faces his sixth Father's Day without his dad around, Dale Jr. might not be entirely thankful that he bears his papa's name. Because of the fame of his father, Dale Jr. hasn't owned his own name, or the rights to his own signature, for the past three years.

This is a bizarre story.
Read and understand a contract before you sign it.

Jr must have been naive and also still in shock that he didn't have good advice on that. Also he may have felt he was doing his dad a favor.

I think this happens, in a broader term, more than many would like to believe. One can be very good in his chosen field, yet have no business sense at all.
