"For rarely are sons similar to their fathers: most are worse, and a few are better than their fathers." ~ Homer
A picture paints a thousand words.This one taken today of Richard Childress and Dale Earnhardt Jr. says, "When is that DEI exclusive negotiating period up?"
Dale Sr. was 33 when he "went from an erratic, disappointing career path to the team that would make him legendary: Richard Childress Racing."
Dale Earnhardt Jr. turns 33 in October. Maybe he should go there, too.Junior has often said he would seriously consider the standing invitation at RCR late in his racing career.
This is not nostalgia talking. This is up-to-the-minute reality. RCR is on the rise again, ready to dominate again. Childress still holds the rights to the vacant No. 3 in NASCAR, with one driver in mind.
But if he doesn't get exactly what he wants, should he just throw the towel in at DEI and accept it now?
Well ... that question begs another.
Which is more important to Junior? His own racing career ... or his father's legacy?
