Dale Jarrett to leave Waltrip - Aliens invade Pocono

by user Benchracingcharlie

It must have been the rain. Maybe the negative waves generated by all the Jeff Gordon haters over his controversial, rain shortened win in Sunday's Pocono 500 caused a mini-flurry of NASCAR rumors to briefly light up a dull internet scene.

First there was the scary news that a plane had crashed in the Pennsylvania mountains and Jeff Gordon was a passenger.  Geoffrey Miller of AOL's Fanhouse has a quote from Gordon's publicist. > > The rumor, which apparently started in northeastern Pennsylvania, said the aircraft was believed to belong to NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon. However, John Edwards, Gordon's press spokesman, said Gordon's airplane is sitting safely in its hanger. more....

Follow that one up with this whole story that  Dale Jarrett is going to leave Michael Waltrip's Toyota team.  This one had me scratching my head.  And looking for the aliens.

Further rehashing of the trials of the MWR organization frustrates me.  The fact is, they are not that far behind.  Mikey missed Pocono by something like SEVEN THOUSANDTHS OF A SECOND!   Go ahead and blink.  It takes longer that .007 second.  But, whatever, if you want to think they just suck, fine.

Forget the fact that Jarrett's contract is rumored to be one of the biggest ever signed and he would presumably have to eat the bucks bullet.  Just answer this for me.  Where would Dale Jarrett go?

I read another Toyota team.  Why?  What team is better or more likely to improve faster than MWR?

The other scenario was that DJ would return to Ford.  Let's see, Roush is full.  The Woods have Awesome Bill's 5 remaining provisionals and two other drivers for their one car team.  Yates?  Riiiight.

I'm telling you, watch the evening skies.  Something weird is going on.

I wonder how much longer Waltrip will be an owner. This has been a disaster for him, from the start. And it is simply not getting any better.
