Somebody please hurry up and sign Dale Earnhardt Jr.
On May 10th, Junior announced he would be leaving Dale Earnhardt Inc. at the end of the 2007 Nextel Cup season, making him a free agent.
A week has passed since he declared his intentions, and already I'm sick of hearing about Dale Jr. this and Dale Jr. that.
This guy is treated like a god. How many championships has he won?
Answer: zero, zilch, nada.
The hype is about Junior's marketability and, when it boils down to it, the root of that is pedigree. His popularity stems from his father, the late Dale Earnhardt.
Junior has said he wants to take a few weeks before opening the negotiating process.
NASCAR's most popular driver should have his pick of teams. Three owners — Rick Hendrick, Joe Gibbs and Richard Childress — are front-runners to acquire his services.
Whatever. Someone sign him fast so we can stop this uncalled for hysteria.
