:( OK I’m going now.
I will call the other girl this morning to see if she’s busy this evening.
Take care.
Uh, the way it looks, you may get hit before we do!
Just one more article on this only because it is so TRUE.
It’s official: Teresa Earnhardt really doesn’t get it.
Either that, or she really is just evil.
As expected, Earnhardt refused to allow the No. 8 to follow Dale Earnhardt Jr. to Hendrick Motorsports. Or, according to Hendrick officials, the price was so high it didn’t make sense for Earnhardt Jr.’s new team to buy it.
So, the No. 8 that Earnhardt Jr. made famous, that was such a part of the Earnhardt family and that had such a huge fan following will now fall into the hands of another driver, one, presumably, with absolutely no connection to the man who founded Dale Earnhardt Inc.
Dale Earnhardt brought the No. 8 to NASCAR specifically for his son. It was the number that Earnhardt Sr.’s father, Ralph, raced on the short tracks throughout the South. It had historical and family significance when it graced the side of Earnhardt Jr.’s car.
Along with the promotional push of Budweiser, it was Earnhardt Jr. who made the No. 8 the most famous car number in racing. In fact, it had become arguably the third-most famous and significant car number ever, trailing only Richard Petty’s No. 43 and Earnhardt Sr.’s No. 3.
Though it technically belonged to NASCAR and DEI, it rightfully belonged to Earnhardt Jr. He is the man who made it famous and significant, the man who made it an Earnhardt tradition.
But clearly, Teresa Earnhardt has no respect for that. Whether out of spite toward Earnhardt Jr., her stepson, or pure greed, she is keeping the number at DEI. Unless Budweiser plans to return to DEI – which is highly unlikely – and is demanding that the number remain, there seems to be no logical reason for keeping the number except simply to keep it from Earnhardt Jr.
