If someone wanted to pay YOU $300K when, IMO, you had a suspect performance resume, do you actually think that anyone would care?
Just remember, she's out there driving 220+ MPH, are you?
IMO, Jr is a bigger failure than Danica' after all the other three HMS cars finished 1/2/3 this year.

Two points:
Dale Earnhardt Jr., I know he is a faded version of "The Intimidator" but he did cross the stripe first in 18 Cup races against some very impressive talent. 18 wins in Cup racing may not make you another Smoke or Jimmie but it hardly makes you a failure.
Danica is out there going 220+ MPH. That is impressive. She can go fast. But can she race? She won a Mobil economy run in Japan a couple years back. But a win is a win I suppose. She pushed an Indy car past 200MPH. So has Milka Duno. So has E. J. Viso. So has Robert Dornboos. But these four won't get me to come back to the Indy 500.
