DEI is not the same without Senior, we know it. But Theresa called a lot of the shots back then, and she is still around.
All I care is that DEI fields three full-time Cup cars, in order to be competitive with Rousch and Hendrick on the amount of information they can learn about a track and set-up. And it doesn't look like I am going to get that before 2007, if even then. :-( That is why the RCR merger excites me and I hope it is true.
That is the reason I was excited about the rumor Daddy Menard was going to sink some huge amount of ca$h into DEI, to move Paul up, but that didn't happen.
Childress needs another champ. Though I do respect Happy, I don't think Harvick has the drive to be a champ. Watch his position changes week to week. He seems to have developed Kyle Petty disease.
Childress is a smart cookie, and the right stuff will link up. When? Who knows...
It'll happen.
