Says Kevin Harvick..."It's hard when you have what I call a deadbeat owner that doesn't come to the racetrack," Harvick told reporters during a stop at Richard Childress Racing.

"You always see Richard Childress. You always see Chip Ganassi. All these owners, they all come to the racetrack. It's not just a money pit that somebody says, 'Well, I can make money off of Dale Jr. I can make money off of Dale Earnhardt.' "

I commend him for that considering the ill feelings he has towards her. He made a good business decision.

Good for Earnhardt. It appears that she trusts those who are running the business to do their jobs at the track. Isn't one of the perks of being the BIG boss to have the option to not be at the track every race? She probably doesn't have as much of an interest as the other owners, but that doesn't make her a bad owner. I just think it says a lot that Dale Jr defended her. I'm sure there is a LOT more to this story, but we'll never know it. LOL
