As funny as it is, and I’m surprised that Harvick didn’t say it first, it’s 101% true.

The question is, will Teresa hand it over?

Piecing together many factors from the last 18 months, 2007, and in turn 2008, is going to be an interesting transition. Take out all the COT crap, Toyota this or that, and think about Jr for a minute. That alone has the implication to shake up the NASCAR Nation as we know it.

Is he asking for the majority ownership because he knows he won’t get it, and can walk away with a clean conscious? I doubt it, I believe he is sincere and doesn’t want the company his Dad built to be run into the ground. If it continues in that direction, he doesn’t want to be a part of it. Who can blame him?

Coincidentally, his long time backer and close friend just happens to be planning a 4th car for 2008, if it’s “feasible” that is.

Hmmm…

Destiny has knocked on Jr’s door, hell it’s rang the bell and made all kinds of racket. Kind of hard not to answer it.

At this level of business it’s never about the money, it’s about the control. Plenty of cash to go around for all, but only one can be in control.

Jr.’s comment about only blood Earnhardt’s should be running DEI is his exit message, because Teresa will never give it up. If her ego doen’t get in the way maybe she’ll give it up, but it’s a direct slap and it will be difficult for her to fold now. We’ll see.

Well, Astrologically for over a year now, all of his aspect’s have basically focused on this particular issue. Either way he goes he will do well. That’s his destiny.
