Q: With all the turmoil and drama that seems to be happening at DEI nowadays I thought sure he would bolt to Penske or RCR. In your opinion what did Max or Thresa offer him to make him stay. Is it a good decision???
A: the answer is money, and not enough of it. reporters were talking weeks ago about him overpricing himself out of a few good rides... guess he wasn't worth what he thought he was and found that staying put is probably better than not driving at all. too bad too, he probably could do very well elsewhere - heck, he managed to make the chase last year when DEI was in disarray, he could probably do REALLY well elsewhere. who knows, maybe DEI will get their act together and he'll end up very happy there. time will tell. bottom line, whatever the deal was, i wish i had it... ;-)
