I wouldn't bet against that.

You can't baby-sit the kid forever...Shane is an adult, making his own decisions, as stupid as they may be.

Right, kids always seem to blame it on the parents.

What is wrong with Eury,yeah there might be some baggage,the thing is,is that Eury knows Jr very well as a driver,you get someone who does not know Jr,it might be that much longer until the combo gets it right,plus with Hendrick being the top dog,there should be no excuse for Jr to do well.

You gotta wonder with Teresa is thinking here. All the people that Dale Sr. put in place are leaving because of her.

Eury will be able to tap the advice of Chad, Steve, and Alan, and that's worth more than what he has ever learned in his career, all race winning men on the pit box.

Also Junior will have to get ready to see women on his pit box. If nothing changes, Lisa Smokstad, who had a baby last month, will be Junior's new tire specialist. Her husband Craig is the car chief on the Red Bull #83 (Brian Vickers) and that is from a long line of Minnesota short-track racers.

I don't think Jr. has a problem with women on his team. Amy Eury is the statistician on the 8 and I've seen a woman working on his Navy Busch team. I think the only woman in his life that Junior has problems with is TE, and she'll be a distant memory soon enough.
