Hold on – here is the bump and the SPIN OUT!<\/p>\n
Silly Season might keep the media in a frantic hunt for breaking news, but
\nfor a NASCAR fan, the anticipation keeps our minds very busy. Whether you’re
\nworking, playing or just plain day dreaming, inquiring minds want to know!
\nKnowing where Elliott Sadler will end up to predicting the dreaded day Steve
\nPark will be removed from the #1, we play out in our mind the moves we’d make if
\nonly we owned their team. But like the media, we wait patiently for the next big
\nheadline.<\/p>\n
Speaking of the next big headline, a major Silly Season development is
\nhappening right under our noses. Unlike the typical Silly Season moves of
\nreplacing a driver or crew chief, this fairy tale involves and an entire racing
\norganization. If you love NASCAR, then you might not want to turn the channel.
\nThis puts a whole new meaning on "how bad do you have it!"<\/p>\n
It looks like Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys and Andy Petree,
\nowner of Andy Petree Racing are partnering to run a Winston Cup two-team
\noperation. The #55 Chevy from reports will change to a Ford, and it will be the
\nfirst car to carry the primary sponsorship of a NFL team, the Dallas Cowboys.
\nNot that there is anything wrong with this philosophy or even the fact that we
\nare going to start seeing Jerry Jones strutting himself, suit and all in the pit
\narea, my concern is that this places a red stamp on the fact that NASCAR is
\nchanging.<\/p>\n
Jerry Jones is a successful, ruthless businessman. He is going where the
\nmoney is and he is seeing dollar signs from here to his Texas Stadium office.
\nThis maverick, who bought the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Stadium for $140 million
\nturned a 3-13 team into Super Bowl Champs. He made many enemies along the way
\nincluding the NFL when he declined to follow the NFL Properties regulations and
\nsigned his own sponsorship deals causing the NFL to file a lawsuit against him
\nfor $300 million. He has hired and fired the best in football and now his once
\ndynasty is back on the loosing side of the field.<\/p>\n
Enough with the facts and lets begin the spin! Jerry Jones is bored and is
\nlooking for a new toy! I think Andy Petree is looking for a relationship similar
\nto that of Chip Ganassi and Felix Sabates. I can tell you that the Jerry and
\nAndy show will not compare to Chip and Felix. Jerry Jones does not understand
\nhow NASCAR works and he is in it for the CASH! Unlike Felix, Jerry Jones will
\nwant total CONTROL and Andy will be left doing no more than crew chief
\nresponsibilities. Andy Petree is lost in the moment just as a college basketball
\nplayer would be when shown THE MONEY! Mark my word, Andy will fall victim to
\nJerry’s desire to rule the world.<\/p>\n
Just imagine, Jerry Jones being called into the BIG RED TRUCK for a wrist
\nslapping. It won’t happen. Like he has done in the NFL, he answers to no one.
\nHe’ll change the rules, the way money is distributed and the way sponsorships
\nare handled. NASCAR will never be the same! He’ll demand immediate results or
\nhis driver and team will pay dearly. RUN BOBBY RUN!<\/p>\n
Believe me, with Jerry Jones this is just the beginning. First Andy Petree,
\nthen he’ll own the Texas Motor Speedway and soon after that, NASCAR. I am sure
\nin time Andy Petree will look back at this moment and regret this business
\ndecision.<\/p>\n
This week’s SPIN OUT goes to – Jerry Jones and Andy Petree for putting the
\nlove of money before the love of racing!<\/p>\n
Until next week, happy bumping!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
