No compare it to the flack Jimmie and the other young guns got last year. And, theirs was because they were winning the freaking races. It is one thing to cover the winner, leader, mover thru the pack, etc. But, to constantly show 1 driver, 1 car, 1 crew is a bit overboard. Remember how people felt last year and they were spreading it out to 3 or 4 guys. This year it is 1 guy. Only 1 guy. Every race.
Now as to your girls liking him I would think you could find them a better role model than Lil'E. By his own admission he hangs out with questionable characters to all hours of the night. He drinks to excess several times a week. He only shaves when it is so itchy he can't stand it. He is pouty, vindictive and overbearing. Just look how he handles his competitiors and his other DEI drivers. Mikey and Steve both said he doesn't get up before noon and thus misses the mandatory meetings during the week. People are lauding him for maturing so much this year. I haven't seen much evidence of that, yet. He is still the spoiled brat that Dale Sr. (God bless his soul) raised at the expense of Kelly and Kerry (whom he neglected).
It made me sick to my stomach to hear the fans that went to Mooresville for the BDay party talk about how they switched from Sr. to Lil'E. They are worlds apart. And, how 1 could switch allegiances merely because of the name is beyond me. If Dale had lived he might have taught the boy some responsibility but I doubt it. Lil'E was in full renegade mode and was out to show his dad that he could do it without him. It is too late now but if only Dale Sr. had invested the time and money in Kelly and Kerry, who are much more like him in demeanor, we might have had better drivers on the Circuit. Kelly was quite a racer in her day. And, could possibly have made a name for herself in Cup. But, Sr. put Jr. thru the driving schools, etc. to make him the racer. And, now we are subjected to the Lil'E show every week.
looks around just to make sure ) We'll salute it with a brew later on in the day!
