Wouldn't It Be Great If Gordon Replaced France?

Well, I was thinking more Earnhardt Jr. and Kelly Earnhardt. Kelly is her name, right?



Okay, that made me LOL, Kudos.

Yes.. but I think her name has a second e in it --- Kelley.

Exactly.

Ran that thing into the ground without the right supervision from the man.

Seems like the Ganassi cars have been running better since she's been out of the picture.

Teresa and Sr. both needed to be there to run DEI. They were one helluva team.

ECR is still putting together engines, one was in Dillion's winning Xfinity car. Newman qualified 7th with one, so Teresa still has her hand in Nascar racing a bit.

Gordon is smart enough to not want the job.

Teresa has no active role in racing anymore.

Chip Ganassi explains why ‘Earnhardt’ is no longer part of team name

Now, the Earnhardt corporate name is essentially extinct.

[...]

But as the Earnhardt name lived on with other teams, Teresa Earnhardt withdrew more and more from being active in racing. She continued to oversee the still-thriving souvenir business that memorialized her late husband and kept his name and legend alive, but that was about it.

And what was Earnhardt-Childress Racing Technology has quietly become simply ECR, with a team source telling MotorSportsTalk that “the E no longer stands for anything. It doesn’t stand for Earnhardt. It’s just ECR now.”

Just like the George family is in IndyCar.

We can see how well that's working out. At least TG is a race fan.

Gordon is retiring so he can teach his daughters to drive race cars. He wants one of his girls to be the 1st female driver to win a NA$CAR race.

I look forward to the "Ella Sofia Gordon, does she even care?" threads in 10 years.

1 girl. 1 boy.
