The following story is not true, but worth a chuckle nonetheless.
Dale Jr., Danica Hate Each Other (Well, At Least According To Tabloid)
↵Everyone’s favorite publication (also not true), the National Enquirer, is reporting that Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Danica Patrick are in a “bitter feud.”
↵Patrick, of course, has just begun her NASCAR career driving for Earnhardt Jr.‘s Nationwide Series team. But the Enquirer “reports” that Junior is pissed because Danica has been bad-mouthing him to others.
↵↵“Dale is livid at Danica for talking trash about him behind his back,” revealed a source. “He feels he’s giving her entrance into the NASCAR world and teaching her his tricks - and she’s saying how she can beat him.
↵“It’s rubbing Dale the wrong way. He hates being bad-mouthed by somebody he feels owes him gratitude.”
↵↵I don’t care if the Enquirer broke the Tiger Woods story and the John Edwards scandal. The publication has been consistently off when talking about NASCAR.
↵A few months ago, it reported Earnhardt Jr. was in a “death spiral” and friends feared for his well-being. That turned out to be false, obviously. The dude has been his normal self more often than not.
↵Danica handled the negotiations strictly through Dale Jr.‘s sister Kelley. And Junior has often said he’s hardly spoken to Danica, except to offer a few bits of advice here and there.
↵So when the Enquirer says Dale Jr. has been Danica’s “mentor” and that he “groomed her for NASCAR,” take it for what it’s worth.
