Why? How come Jr is letting his big brother test for him? Makes no scents.
Why should he test the number 8 car, he’s not driving it anymore???
Besides if Teresa of TEI did to me like she did to junebug I wouldn’t want anything to do with the 8 car either.
You know what gets me is the comments i’ve seen so much about how teresa did jr, and how jr should do things different to her. Yeah i think he did admit that they dont have a great relationship but when it comes down to it, their still family. Obviously thats why jr’s still doing things for DEI. i remember a while back when immature people were bashing teresa for keeping the #8.during a race interview Jr snapped back with a comment for the people that they should keep their thoughts to themselves about their family business and leave her alone; thats still his stepmom no matter what.
