I havent heard a post-race tv quote from him since his '99 Championship days, he must complain alot for him to leave Yates, i sure would complain if I had to drive the junk Robert gave me everyweekend.

You haven't been watching much then have you. They've had'em... they've been few and far between. As far as junk... well Robert is learning his lesson the hard way. He'll turn the ship around... he'll just be doin it without Jarrett.

If he ALMOST sold it to the other Gordon, I doubt he has the passion to turn that beaten and battered ship around

I'm not sure that is a bad thing. I think like all athletes, Jarretts time has come and gone. He could have/should have gone out whjen he was still in the winning mode. I know .. it's tough to quit when you are at the top of your game. Yates has finally decided to try and turn his teams around and now he will be doing it with a new driver in the 88 car. No big deal. It happens every year to one or more teams. Yates can get better but I'm sad to say that Dale's time is in a downward spiral. I can't see him being a major assett to Toyota.

He didn't alomst sell it to the other Gordon. That was BS. Robby talked about buying half. It was just to get more cars. Face it, it's hard for a two car team to compete with the 4 and 5 team organizations.

Re: Gordon airs displeasure with Junior's bump-draft

The perfect example of favoritism. Jeff Gordon made a great point. NASCAR said they were going to police the bump drafting, but when Jr does it, NASCAR does not. Jeff Gordon needs to keep ranting on NASCAR like this until NASCAR is consistent and not playing favorites with Jr because his name is Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr clearly bump drafted in the turns, and gets a warning? I guess Jr has won the award of bump drafting in the turns from Jimmie Johnson. Congratulations Jr, keep paying Mr. France that money so you can get favorited.

And when that MYSTERIOUS caution came-out to let Jr. into the lead lap
The fact is Dega is Earnhardt county and NASCAR didnt want them to get stupid

You may be right LSC... but I'm not giving up on him until we see. Like I said in the past... everyone was saying it was time for Jeff Burton to go, then he switches to Childress and he's a contender again. I'll give it time.

Oh yeah, and that too. I wonder where the debris was? Oh, thats right, there was no debris! NASCAR just threw out the caution to allow Jr to get back on the lead lap.

Let's see... It wasn't that long ago when Na$car robbed Jr of a victory at Dega when throwing a caution just after Jeff passed him. Another one of those TIMELY cautions.

Well that is the way it should be. If you like a specific driver then you should stick by him. I actually like Dale but I personally think his star is beginning to fade into the western sky.

Oh but wait a second, there was a actual wreck! Jr got the caution because NASCAR knew there may have not been another caution, so they needed Jr to get back up there, so they threw out the caution. I guess NASCAR can have 40 laps and then a caution just for Jr.

The only problem I have with Dale miraculously coming back is that 1. He's driving for a brand new team and 2. For Michael Waltrip, his team barely even qualify for races, but who knows right
