Good for you Bill. Glad you won't prostitute and embarass yourself like Dale Jarrett.

I wish NASCAR would do away with the champions provisional, it being so abused.


Red Bull in it for the long run: Team Red Bull [#83-Vickers, #84-Allmendinger] director of competition Guenther Steiner reassured me [Yahoo Sports Bob Margolis] this weekend that despite his team's difficult entry into Nextel Cup competition, they were "in it for the long run. If [Red Bull owner] Dietrich Mateschitz had wanted to do it the easy way, he would have just sponsored one of the Hendrick cars," Steiner said.(Yahoo Sports), also on the SPEED Report Sunday, Bob Dillner mentioned that since #44-Dale Jarrett is now out of champions provisionals for the season, 1988 Cup Champ Bill Elliott is a wanted driver, supposedly Red Bull Racing is one team interested, but supposedly Elliott is not interested in a situation like that.(4-30-2007)

Don't forget Terry Labonte or Rusty Wallace !
Either one of them could come out of retirement if the offer was right ... :eek:

I don't see it being abused here, just using it as it was meant, and a lot less than either Richard Petty or Darryl Waltrip did in their last couple of years. Due to the situation of the 'top 35' qualifing mid pack generally isn't enough to get in now.
