good choice JR. on not running in one of those flying EARL crapwagons.

Gossage is an idiot! How in heck would Dale be able to fly back
forth and really be prepared for the Cup race in Pocono. Not to
mention do you really think that Chevrolet, HMS, Jr’s sponsors
and others would let him do that? It was another stupid, over-the-
top deal with Gossage - like the tacky billboards he put up
for both the Cup and IRL races.

I wouldn’t want to make my first IRL start at Texas either.

maybe he can win a race at the lower level…

Why would he want to take a step down? Nascar is the top of the food chain in racing, anything else is a training ground for cup.

Why should he race a car that he does not have experience in at those speeds and risk injury or worse just to put butts in seats for Gossage.
When Jr. said the bit about “his conscious would not let him” I have to think that is what he was referring to…

Funny thing is, the INDYCAR races at Texas are better then the cup races, much closer finishes. A lot less fans in the stands though…..
