Kurt Busch - Dale Earnhardt, Jr. ~ What You See Is What You Get

by: Carol Bell

I was scrounging around some old stuff and found a column I’d written six years ago comparing two young stars in NASCAR’s cup division.  It was an attempt to show the very different ways these men handled their lives especially when it came to their racing careers.

One was obviously dazed and confused with the situation in which he suddenly found himself;  the other was confident that he could remain a viable part of the company his father founded.

Neither ended up the way they thought they would, but for one it’s been “déjà vu all over again”.

Of course, I’m speaking of Kurt Busch and Dale Earnhardt, Jr.

Since I plan on doing some major ranting about the so called main stream media and Dale, Jr., I’ll save him for last.  Besides, as we all know, Kurt can and has been the more colorful of the two.  It’s been his own invention, and he has made an art out of generating most of his publicity.
