"Although I sure wouldn't mind it if Kyle Busch were sent packing. ;-)"

Awwwwwwww poor little Bushie Shrub. I hate his little fuzzy growth on his chin! Maybe he can join Sanjaya on a tour somewhere. lol

I'm concerned about the DEI entertainment company announcement I posted further up thread. DEI is a racing company, not memorabilia, not movies etc. If they can devote all the money coming from "entertainment" to racing then I'm in, but I doubt it. I keep remembering Teresa saying in the media "the ball's in his court whether he wants to be a race car driver or a public personality." The fact remains that things are not as they should be at DEI, they even have to go to Jr Motorsports to borrow a piece of equipment for the cars.

Childress has stated publicly when the time comes if Jr leaves "I hope he comes to talk to me first"

Given the connection between Childress and Senior, I can understand why. But Junior needs to be his own man and do what he thinks is best for him and his future. Personally, I hope he can wrest control of DEI away from Theresa. If that's not possible, then I would love to see him go to one of the top three or four organizations in the sport, where he can drive top class equipment for a few years until he can build up JR Motorsports.

In the meantime, I hope the sport's resident idiots (like Spencer and Waltrip) stay out of it. The smart businessmen, like Childress, Jeff, Rick Hendrick and others, are helping to give Junior a ton of leverage. I don't doubt Budweiser's had something to say behind the scenes, too.. Everyone else should STFU. Junior is not a 10-yr-old anymore.
