It's also more than a little suspicious to his legion of fans, who have wondered for weeks if this was sabotage on the part of his stepmother.After all, his relationship with Teresa Earnhardt "ain't a bed of roses," and Junior's impending split isn't exactly amicable. They've publicly feuded since December, he claims she's been unreasonable during negotiations and he's bolting for rival Hendrick Motorsports at the end of the season.The squabbling has been so intense on so many issues - most recently Teresa's refusal to let Earnhardt take his beloved No. 8 with him to Hendrick - that the idea that she would intentionally derail his season wouldn't surprise anyone. And because the DEI motors never even seem to sputter under the hoods of his teammates, it's actually believable.

But DEI officials call the entire idea preposterous."I can assure you that's not the case," general manager John Story said Monday. "We understand that there might be a natural assumption that because he is leaving, the team would say 'Who cares? We are not going to try for him.'"But if anything, it's the other way around. We tried hard to get him in the Chase. We wanted him to win a championship. We always said that would have been the most appropriate way for him to leave DEI."Of course, DEI is going to say that. And conspiracy theorists will forever be convinced Earnhardt was the victim of an intricate and evil plot to punish him for his betrayal.

I don't think his comment that the engines work fine til they put em in his car helped out any. But just a couple weeks before that he was saying they have great engines and he just over drives them. I'm starting to think that on a small scale he might want people to blame Teresa for it. But I don't. Crap happens, engines blow, tires blow and all the other stuff. He didn't make the chase for the championship, okay, so quit crying and make the best you can of the rest of the season and go on from there. I still don't see what she would really gain by doing that anyway. She'd make more if he was in the chase and had a chance to win the championship. Reporters can be so stupid sometimes for people that think they know everything.

What's next? Was Teresa behind the Team's "cheating" at the start of the season which cost fines and points?

Am I the only one who sees how ludicrous all these conspiracy theories are?

Time would be better spent discussing the Patriots' spying! At least that has "legs." ... but that's another forum.

Not only was she behind her teams cheating but "I heard" from an anonymous source that she encouraged the 24 & 48 crew chiefs to cheat also. Her intent was to try and keep Jr. at DEI. By getting Latarte and Knaus to cheat she felt Jr. wouldn't even consider HMS if negotiations between DEI and Jr. should fail as they ultimately did.

And Penny to answer your question ..... NO, you're not alone.
