The current issue of Sports Illustrated has an article by Ed Hinton, “It’s the Pits – Dale Earnhardt axed crew chief questions the Intimidator’s focus.” A few snips from the S.I. article, “Dale Earnhardt’s aloofness from his teammates and preoccupation with his business interests have contributed to his downfall as a racer,” according to Larry McReynold’s. McReynold’s says in the article, “Talentwise Dale’s still there, but the competition certainly has caught up with him, and I question his total focus.”(StockCarFans – Nancy)(6-24-98)
