I don't really think NASCAR built ESPN in any way, it was probably more due to the fact that for near 20 years you could find every sport on one channel 24/7

that kind of market strangulation tends to breed success

Seems pretty likely. I think he would make a great team owner but it will be a bummer to not be disappointed by him on a nearly weekly basis any more.

I hadn't been on SA until just now and thought that was about JWT. :(

Junyer was on the fast track to be my new favorite driver, so god damnit. Gordon, Stewart, potential new favorite Junyer in two years?

But that said:

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I've been able to go to Daytona and hope to continue to do so for years to come, but there's something about Eldora which makes it that much more fun all-around. I'm just glad my ticket will be for the Aspen Dental 150 and not the #Eldora.

I wonder how many races they talk Gordon into if Junyer can't go for a while. Pocono was one of his better tracks in the last few years of his career and Axalta's on the car again at the Glen, which was a mixed bag in his last few years but "road course ability", etc.

e- Info from Boomer's link:

Gordon, who retired after last season, is not available to drive for Earnhardt this weekend at New Hampshire Motor Speedway because he is in France with his wife.

I've been watching the concussion thing for a few years now. I used to race BMX and ride dirt and freestyle, and I've had like 5 or 6 solid concussions. One complete with leaking sinus fluid. I hope it makes me hulk out and have a ragedeath instead of sadbraining around until I eat a handful of pills :smith:
