Michael Waltrip has one thing going for him that every marketing expert on the planet would love to have... it's the bullshit factor. The man can sell himself to anyone. The guy is so full of crap that he can sell anything to anyone... even his peice of crap race team and his own complete lack of driving talent. The man is one thing that no one can deny: he is a marketing genius. His ability to sell is second to none and I would bet money that if he applied himself, he could make far more money finding sponsors for other teams than he will ever make owning his own race team.
the problem is, he is so busy selling himself and his glorious bullshit that eventually he is going to sell to the wrong person. His world is going to come crashing down...

I will point to two people....

Geoff Bodine. He bought Alan Kulwicki's team and started running it. Times got tough and he had to bring in an investor. He sold (the idiot) 51% of Geoff Bodine Racing... and what happened? The owner fired his stupid ass. and he hasn't been back since.

Brett Bodine... also sold majority ownership... stupid must run in that family. And he lost his job.

You never ever sell majority ownership in your company. We call Teresa Earnhardt stupid for not giving Junior 51% of DEI but if you really look at it, if she'd done it, she'd be sitting with her thumb up her butt right now.

I think with these two investors, Waltrip no longer controls MWR and you just watch... he's in for it.

I saw a t-shirt today that says,

I'm trying to see it from your perspective but I can't get my head up my ass

We oughta get that one for MW
