Well as a Jr fan I can only speak for myself. He's certainly not having the best year, but can't run at the top every race every year, I don't care who you are.
Not to happy about the going to HMS, but that was his decision, not mine. Thought at first I just wouldn't pull for him anymore. But realize I can pull for him and not be a fan of HMS. Can still hope the other HMS drivers hit the wall every weekend.
Didn't really understand the losing Bud part. But Bud didn't make him and he didn't make Bud. So both will be okay without the other. They're not joined at the hip after all.
I also don't have a problem with Coors going to DEI. After all I pull for the driver, not the sponsor.
