The patriarch of the stock car racing Earnhardt’s, Ralph Lee Earnhardt, is known by many people as “just Earnhardt”. Ralph Lee Earnhardt’s son, Ralph Dale Earnhardt, is known by many people as “just Earnhardt” also. In the race world today there is a few other “just Earnhardt’s” racing, occasionally racing, and/or just starting up a racing career are also known by many people as “just Earnhardt”….. This feeble attempt to justify deceiving communication skills because that is what other people do (Professional’s or not) is very weak minded and LAZY on all accounts……
I am going to be bold here and claim that the “Intimidator” has taken his father’s foundation and built upon it with his own talents and foresight “the” Earnhardt Corporation as in Dale Earnhardt, Inc. and How-n-What it has now become is another super gripe of mine that I’ll save for another time, this ends my boldness. All the other “just Earnhardt’s” have there own corporations (per se) that don’t have the Earnhardt name in it I’m sure because of Teresa’s doing…. So once again the only “Earnhardt’s corporation” is DEI that has merged with Chip Ganassi…. Earnhardt Jr’s corporation is JR Motorsports….
Those of us who fortunately or maybe unfortunately have been named after our father we are born into a nickname terminology that distinguishes us from our father. I too was born to such a perpetual nickname as the example of Lil’ Andy “vs” Big Andy despite the fact after the end of my growth period I was much stronger -n- bigger than my father; furthermore, after his death I’m still the Lil’ one. Others are: 1st or 2nd, Senior or Junior, Older or Younger, Big or Little, etc…. It sticks forever even after dear ol’ Dad has gone on to the here after…. Like it or NOT…..
The conclusive response of this obnoxious banter is and always has been: Speaking of Earnhardt is speaking about Dale Senior and speaking of Dale Junior is Earnhardt Jr. or just plain ol’ Junior…..Like it or NOT…. Of course, ignorance is bliss; I will not be dragged any further into the level of ignorant semantics only to beat with the experience of an elitist narcissistic antique flashing around a LEO revenuer badge. May have worked back-in-the-day to put people in front of a Judge to pick their wallets, today is has no respect or standing…..
Oh, and Tigger (ta ta for now); you
are correct that it is
not Earnhardt, Jr. Nation;
however, it is
not the Earnhardt Nation
either.
It is the:I'll look back next weekend for Richmond when I'm back in town...
