First let me say to are entitled to your opinion and I respect that. However, there are times I just have to post back when I feel someone doesn't completely understand the facts.

You said...."But they will start drifting away when they realize he's not as committed to winning a championship as they are"

Let me say this to you........THAT will never happen, you don't know the Earnhardt Nation. :) And if a few do, then they weren't really fans.

Hope you will be here this afternoon for the race.

Oh, I know the "Earnhardt Nation". I was part of that "Earnhardt Nation"... back when it was dressed in black. I was part of it because of ol' Ironhead and what he represented on and off the track. But my respect is something that he earned from me through his action, grit and determination. Not because of his name.

Jr. still has a ways to go. He hasn't earned that.... yet. ;-)
