Beer vs. No Beer
This is a sad day in my life. I am not a NASCAR fan at all. As an avid sports enthusiast and not being able to escape everything "SportsCenter" forces on me, I wanted to comment about Dale Jr.
WHAT AN IDIOT!!!! Seriously. . . Leaving your Dad's company because of an ego.
Dale Jr. is sponsored by Budweiser. Budweiser is the official beer sponsor of NASCAR. Dale Jr. wants to only drive Chevrolet's. This leaves three teams for him to go to: Hendrick, RCR and Gibbs Racing teams. How much of a dork am I for looking this crap up.
Here's what I need to know.
NASCAR was trying to help itself out by removing BUSCH from its NASCAR series heading (happens at the end of 2007). The Winston Cup became the Nextel Cup.

So when Joe Gibbs decides to make an offer, does Dale Jr. do what's right for the sport and turn the beer sponsor away, or does Joe Gibbs let up on his stance about alcohol?
From redskins.com:
Over the years, Gibbs' personal commitment and time at the home has turned hundreds of kids away from drugs, alcohol and crime, while demonstrating to them that they are each a valuable and important asset to this world.
Personally I think he goes to Hendrick and dumb "SportsCenter" will make a big deal about it. To be honest, I won't care but the morality of it all. I wonder if the right decision will be made.
What do you think?

I just hope little E gets what he finally deserves, a chance to get out from under the overwhelming presence of his late father.
I'd like to think people can stand by their morals like Joe Gibbs and his stance on alcohol, but in society today money is king. NASCAR is no different from any other professional sport, it's athletes and owners always follow the money and will continue to do so.
