This was a tough weekend for Dale Earnhardt Jr. and the #88 team. For the second time this season they came just short of a win; oddly enough, to the same guy – Kevin Harvick. On top of that, the conspiracy mill was in full force this week over the caution that didn’t get called [...]

Journo Should They Stay Or Should They Go
February 19th, 2010 Journo Bass Pro Shops and Kasey Kahne don’t seemingly have a lot in common, but with the season now in full swing the two are about to have a very similar decision to make: do they stay where they’re at or look for greener pastures elsewhere. It’s well known Kahne and Bass Pro are in contract [...]

15 Comments »The Rise and Fall of Ginn Racing
August 13th, 2009 Journo In 1986 real estate developer Edward Robert Ginn III, better known as Bobby Ginn, was quickly making a name for himself, though not for the right reasons. He owned eight of 20 golf courses (among other properties) in Hilton Head Island, S.C. and his company was failing. Failing to the point that employee paychecks were [...]

July 9th, 2009 T.C. So now that the worst kept secret of the 2009 season is out, that Martin Truex Jr. is leaving Earnhardt Ganassi Racing for Michael Waltrip Rass Racing, it seems the popular thing to do is to pile on EGR and its future as an organization. Following the announcement by MWR and Truex, both Truex himself [...]
Is MWR The Best Place For Truex?
June 8th, 2009 T.C. There has been much speculation over the last several weeks regarding where Martin Truex Jr. will race in 2010 and beyond. This speculation has been fueled mostly by Truex’s own comments on a possible move, which started at the Talladega race in April. The turmoil surrounding the DEI/CGR merger, and the lack of performance from [...]

May 8th, 2009 Journo Let me alter my headline a little bit, I love lawsuits when they aren’t directed at me. And do you know why? Because they allow us to find things out we normally don’t have the privilege to know. I have always been an information junky. I suppose that’s probably why I always wanted to be [...]

February 7th, 2009 Journo NASCAR made its way to Daytona this week as they kick off the 2009 season. Despite that there was no shortage of story lines as “point swapping” became everyone’s favorite catch phrase. Penske has a new name (Penske Championship Racing) after bringing on Bill Davis to get the points from his #22. RCR picks up points from [...]
EGR’s “Technical Alliance”
January 28th, 2009 Journo A month or two ago we heard from a good source that officials from the newly merged Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing had approached a team that will remain nameless and asked them if they would be interested in serving as a test team for the organization. Obviously because of the test ban EGR was looking to collect [...]
Don’t Blame Max Siegel
January 19th, 2009 Journo When bad things happen people naturally look for someone to blame. We need someone who we can peg our frustrations on and someone to explain away often complex issues. Right or wrong it does happen. In the case of Dale Earnhardt Inc. this need to blame someone has of late fallen on the shoulders of [...]
