See now - Michael is a goof and great as a pitchman...in that he is a value to a team. He is NOT IMHO a winner. He just doesn't have the make-up for it. He is too darn soft. You need to be hungry and the Waltrips are too far removed from Hungry. Dale Sr. and his dad were hungry as hell and that is what kept them on top of their craft. DEI needs to stick with a young crazy driver who finsihes 1st or 43 each week until he learns to make smart decisions. Regardless, he gets a top notch car that is capable of winning every week.
Risk and return DEI- THAT is your way back to the top. Since you are a smaller team, you can choose the path of a safe, middle of the road team that more often than not comes in behind the Hendricks of the world or you can risk, grow your team and win.
The path is clear with their open spot, their choice is not.
