I agree with when he went to
victory lane and showed his displeasure with Earnhardt. That was the only thing that he should have done. There
is nothing wrong with going down to victory lane after the television cameras are off and having a discussion with Earnhardt.
I am proud that Dale Earnhardt
Jr. finally started to drive like a man who wants to win races and championships. He showed that he could possibly have that
killer instinct that is a requirement for becoming a champion.
He did the right thing and
some showed their displeasure with boos. I think those were not his fans that booed but those fans who were not big fans of
his and who do not like dirty driving. That is perfectly fine as well.
But under no circumstances
can you pull a “Days of Thunder” and crash in to another car during a caution. He could have cut off his
left hand and seriously injured Earnhardt and that is something that should never happen.
Earnhardt and his crew should
have gone and “talked” to Edwards about that because that was probably the lowest move I have seen in NASCAR in
many years.
The punishment does not fit
the crime; he should have been fined a record amount of money and suspended indefinitely. NASCAR says they will not tolerate
revenge, or aggressive driving, But when it comes down to it, it only matters who it is and how marketable they are to NASCAR.
The more money they can bring NASCAR the less they have to pay in fines.
