Unfortunately for us old-time race fans, those days are gone. Now, to be successful in NASCAR a team owner has to have the CEO skills of a Jack Welch or a Lee Iaccoca (sp). This is merely my personal opinion, differing from yours, I'm sure, but I don't believe this is where Robert is, at this point in time. I'm not sure how good Robert is in delagating authority?


For all his medical and personal problems, Ernie was one of the classiest drivers of the period.



Rolling over has NEVER been one of Robert's traits. I agree, he'll hang in there as long as possible. I'd love to see more Robert Yates', Ray Everham's, and Richard Childress' in NASCAR and fewer Rick Hendrick's, Cal Wells', and Chip Ganassi's.

I don't take it personal, and maybe it is a bit optimistic, but I'm standing my ground on my statement and my belief in the RYR organization. Right now, they need something good to happen, as I'm sure there is quite a bit of "gloom" surrounding them.

Of course, it's just a bad patch of track!! They just need to find another patch of track to work it out! No problem with the "history lesson", I've been a Yates fan for many a moon, through the good, the bad and the ugly. I stand by them through the thick and thin! I will not waiver my standing beside them, regardless of the results, because I know that the team are like Weebles, they may bobble and wobble but they don't fall down.
