Bradshaw Speaks:

#12/#14/#82 Car owner Terry Bradshaw last week said he was so unhappy with the way his NASCAR Busch Series team was headed with driver Kerry Earnhardt, he considered pulling his ownership away from the team if changes weren’t made. “I wanted to make the move (to fire Earnhardt) a long time ago,” Bradshaw said. “This is about performance, not a last name. I wanted something to be done, but it was hard with all the sponsorship deals. And my partner (Armando Fitz) was more worried about being politically correct. I finally said we got to do something different or you can do this without me.” Since Earnhardt, the eldest son of racing legend Dale Earnhardt, was fired, Tim Fedewa has posted finishes of 12th, 13th and 13th – the three best efforts for the team this year. “Hello?” Bradshaw said. “Does that tell you something?”(Augusta Chronicle)(8-7-2003)
