assistant: Heres one. When dale hit Rusty, you think Dale should be gone for LIFE, but
if Rusty was to do the same thing to someone else you only want him gone for
the rest of the Race.  Hmm, lucks like a little favoritism here.  If you
actually watched a race you would nknow that Rusty bumps people just as much
as any other driver out there, It's just some guys can can handle there cars
better than the rest.

Sure Blame Dale for wrecking Ernie, Remember when the accident Happened Ernie
was behind Dale when Dale's ignition cut out him, It's one of those racing
deals. In no way shape or form can you blame Dale or ernie for that accident.
There was absolutely no way that ernie could avoid it without taking out half
the pack, and same if Dale tried to get out of the way he would have wrecked
a few more cars.

assistant: Well I hate to tell you that I am not blind and I am an Earnhardt fan.  That
tag with Rusty at bristol was a Little Bump, Rusty had bumped Dale hard than
that earlier (just tv doesn't show that).  That bump with Hamilition, I'll
give you that one there was probably no need for it, Dale is an aggressive
driver and things are going to happen.  You cannot fault him for driving the
wheels off in every race he is in. (thats why he has 7 championships and will
have 8 very shortly). He will be in the hunt when he comes out of the Glenn
But Don't expect him to be any more aggressive than he has ever been.
Even hurt Dale is still a better driver than 80% of the drivers in Nascar
ow.
And his Qualifing at the Glenn proves why he will be an 8 time champion,
maybe not this year but it will happen.

competition out to get the lead and then screws up his own chances of
winning by crashing his self out of the race. He is worse that "Swerving
Irvan", when it comes to a accident waiting to happen.
Who cares about what his life is about.. Crying and blubbering all over the
place. It was his decision and now he must live with the consequences. He
also wanted to be a BIIIIIIIIIGGGGG Car owner. I think he bit off more than
he can chew here and sponsers really take a long look at performance before
shelling out those big bucks.

 If he's such a joke how do you explain 3 at Pocono and a couple other
 good spots he had. Sure he's had his bad races but he had a good strategy.
 Did you even listen to the interview. Probably not because you were crying
 when Earnhardt didn't win. Paul Andrews the crew chief for the Bodine
 car said, "We won that way with Alan and figured we'd give it a shot."
 Maybe before you go saying drivers are a joke you should try to find
 some facts to hold it up other than My poor boy Earnhardt wasn't 100%.
 If that is so he could have gotten out of the car.

have had a change of attitude he was a very hard person to work for but he
